02.12.2025 17:59 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0great advice! thanks for that. I have heard that about the plustek (plus I had a hard time finding one) which is why I opted for the v850. that, and I ordered it from Japan so I got it for $1,000 cheaper than the US 😮

25.11.2025 17:19 — 👍 46 🔁 5 💬 4 📌 0hate to hear that! they were so nice and accommodating, and we all had a good laugh when the TSA agent asked if my earrings would set off the metal machine and I said no.... and then I set off the machine 😂 oddly enough, the only other airport that was equally as accommodating for film was Cuba!
24.11.2025 23:23 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0they gladly hand checked all 33 rolls of film AND the TSA guy was like, “hey can i follow your photography on instagram?”
love it!!!
TSA at the palm springs airport is so damn nice and friendly 🥰
