Fun day over here. I found out how to load presets into Lightroom web in Chrome (which is what I use,) and I pretty much couldn’t access editing tools on the website after that. Endless spinning blue circle.

Brunch with my sister and brother-in-law today 📸 Samsung NX300/Samsung 30mm f/2 lens

I went to see my niece for her birthday 🥰🥰🥰

(iPhone 16 + preset from the FLTR app)

📸 Camp Snap, with “kodaclone” filter

Send help. I’ve discovered apps with “aesthetic” presets/filters.

Loading some of my expired in 2005 film (found in Goodwill this summer) into my Nikon N80 🤞

Oxford, Mississippi 📸 Camp Snap with “Kino” filter

Some little cakes I made earlier in the week - vanilla almond cake with buttercream in the same flavors. (Some people find almond extract overpowering, but I love it. It’s what wedding cakes tasted like when I was growing up)

Chocolate covered Oreos I made for my niece the other day since I won’t get to see her for her birthday next week.

This car is bad to the bone, and they KNOW it

When we dropped my niece back off at her campus apartment, I asked to use her restroom. She opened the door to it and looked around it. I said “What are you doing? Checking for a dead body?” She said “I AM an osteology student, so you never know!” Then I found this at a store and offered to get it

My sister and I had a cute visit with my niece today (no pictures of me with her, unfortunately)

What I’ve heard from the Charlie Kirk memorial sounds like a N*zi rally

I had a senior photo session today*. I got bitten by a large ant and stung by a wasp within about thirty seconds of each other. *For those outside the US, this is a photo shoot done for students who are in the last year of high school.

I wish it were actually autumnal here

Things are pretty crappy in the world, but yesterday, my sister and I were delighted and surprised to find that my niece had done an IG for an event her esports teams is having today. This is SO not expected from her.

Could someone send me a cold front please?

Today’s sourdough bread (made with all purpose rather than bread/strong flour. It definitely behaved differently throughout the process.)

📸 Camp Snap with a filter called Kino

My sister and I just finished this (via Britbox,) and I thought it was SO GOOD.

I really don’t like the circle of life

I’ve been wanting to take a Diana or Holga photo of this little 1930s apartment building, but I had to settle using my Camp Snap camera today (through the rolled down back seat window of my sister’s car)

(So happy that I logged into this app and it’s all photos and not *the other stuff that’s happening*)

And here are three photos I quickly snapped with my Camp Snap to try out the Lomochrome filter someone made for the cameras

Now, here’s a tiny cake I made last week. The layers are sweetened using coconut sugar. The icing is salted caramel buttercream.

Tbh, I wasn’t familiar with Charlie Kirk before today. I have now seen some video clips of just a FRACTION of his vile thoughts and beliefs. I was astonished, especially as I’ve seen many, MANY Christian friends lament his death. They said nothing when the Hortmans were gunned down.

Sending this dispatch from my deathbed (j/k) Some mini cakes I made last weekend - vanilla cake and Swiss meringue buttercream made without refined sugars - so good and not too sweet

Did I tell y’all that the usb-c port came off of my Paper Shoot Camera last month? I was trying to charge the batteries, and the cable wasn’t going in very far. I tried again, and the port just fell right off. Such a bummer.

Tuesday afternoon on my street 📸 Camp snap, expired film filter

FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, and if the two rapid tests I took are to be believed, I’ve finally been hit with the ‘rona

This might not be of interest to anyone else, but one of the things I’ve enjoyed in the past couple of weeks is this free AppleBooks Pride and Prejudice audio book with Kate Beckinsale narrating. She does an excellent job, and it’s been so great to listen to as I’ve been doing a lot of baking/chores

A couple of photos taken at a Greek restaurant a couple of weeks ago when we went to see my niece 📸 Camp Snap + expired film filter

A cake I was commissioned to bake weekend before last. I was told that the guy for whom I was baking likes caramel cakes but not given any direction other than that. I chose to make brown sugar cake layers and salted caramel buttercream.

Wish I’d have a chance to see Jaws during its theatrical re-release this week

Guys. I feel very foolish. Apparently if I turn off wi-fi on my phone and just use mobile data, this app doesn’t know that I’m in Mississippi and, therefore, I am able to use it 🥲

Apparently the only reason I was able to open this app two days ago was because I was near a neighboring state maybe & my phone was pinging off a tower there? Because elsewhere, I am still getting the banned message. I’m in the same spot today, near the state line and able to use the app again.

This afternoon is the first time I’ve been able to use this at in days, because I would get this message whenever I opened the app

www.nbcnews.com/dateline-event Why can’t I be a person of means? 🤣🥲

It's a bummer that something weird happened to my memory card the other day when I had it plugged into my phone, and I lost several photos. The real bummer is that I've tried most of the photo recovery softwares that are "free," they can find those files, but they then require payment to recover.

Dropped my niece off at her university again today 😭 (This was her yesterday when I made her let me take a picture of her “goldfish wearing a shark fin” shirt)

I hate it here for real

I think this is my most successful sourdough loaf to date

It was a little underproofed, but this mini rosemary sourdough loaf I baked was SO good. My friend said she had a bumper crop of rosemary, so she brought me some. First priority was to bake bread with it ✅

Pretty lattes from yesterday

Leftover Korean birthday cake 👩‍🍳😘 I want to learn to bake something like this now.

Sister works not far from the Goodwill I was at yesterday, so she surprised me by running grab a couple more packs for me
