successfully home developed 110 film #pleaseClap

it appears that I am becoming a Haydn person. did not see that coming.

same spot, similar shots, but digital & infrared I enjoyed shooting with this camera (Canon EOS M3) and got a much nicer lens for it (Sigma 16mm f/1.4 | KEH). will have to go back and shoot again sometime and compare

4x5" of the French King Bridge in Western MA. RPX25 is so thin that even moderate agitation can get it dislodged from the developing caddy. the inner pair stuck to one another. oh well. oh yeah and I overexposed a bit 😐 #believeinfilm

Cameras I'm listing: A gorgeous, excellent cond (N. Mint?) Nikon FM2n. And that beautiful Hasselblad 1000f w/the coveted Kodak Ektar 80mm f2.8. The Hassy also has a 120 film back and a NC2 45° prism finder. See ALT TXT for more details. Wanna buy? #believeinfilm #filmphotography #cameraforsale

my buddy vic came by and sat for portraits. we used to play live electronic music for modern dance, but we haven't since the pandemic. he is now recovering from a stroke that has affected his right side and speech, though he is improving which is great to see 4x5" HP5 @ 3200 / 300mm [cont.]

some IR shots from yesterday's rambles with @frontporcheditions.bsky.social more to come. lots of dev/scan to get through the IR photography stuff is intriguing, though I feel like there's some magic sauce with processing that I haven't quite cracked yet

just got a nice note from an old friend that one of my tracks was on one of the NC public radio stations. always a treat, though I have no idea what they were doing listening at 3am 🤷

watching #LFC on SyFy Channel felt appropriate

After Dark 2.0: Flying Toasters

I'm on a big email thread that has fallen prey to the unnecessary REPLY-ALL: "that sounds great!" trap and I feel like I'm back in the 1990s kinda sweet actually

I've been taking a digital I/R camera with me on walks lately. Still not sure I *get* it, but it's yielding some different flavored images — it's fun

'cheesoid hate self'

walking the dog yesterday, thought i saw a big black dog off-leash approaching, but…

I had the profoundly odd experience yesterday afternoon of being the only person in the IMAX theater at Boston Museum of science. Was there to do some research for an upcoming music project. seeing a proper show all by myself was fun but also good for research
