I posted the Blackford County courthouse picture previously. The low contrast one is from a scan of the negative and the other one is a scan of a proper print.

Tomorrow I will spend a lot of time on airplanes. Luckily, I just got the new @scalzi.com book on my Clara to read.

I had to explain to folks in a presentation on AI use cases that AI thinks that because a statement shows up often, it is right.

The first prints out of my new darkroom set up. Both taken at an apparently abandoned lot in Muncie, IN.

Here are two more contact sheets scanned poorly and inverted in GIMP. I have ordered a grow tent to use as a darkroom, and I am hopeful I can get much better results.

I just added prints of my Lomochrome Purple shots as well as the digital Holga images to my Etsy shop.

Did I mention I have an Etsy shop?

As we wander into spooky season these images seem appropriate. Lomochrome Purple shot with a Minolta Xe-7.

We had our division cookout at Mounds state park. Of course I subjected current and former staff to me taking pictures of them with a camera that is likely older than all of us.

Cyanotype of the Art and Journalism building on Ball State campus. Shot on 4x5 Ortho film in Crown Graphic.

Metering for a film with an ISO of 3 is a struggle.

In addition to my Digital Holga, I also have a "Holga" lens for my Nikon. I really do have an affinity for kind of dodgy camera setups.

Cell phone photo of the projection from my enlarger. Trying to cheat setting up the rest of my darkroom, but the aspect ratio gets weird.

As I attempt to navigate the hellscape that the US is slowly devolving into, I am trying to produce images of a different landscape. Maybe not idyllic or safe, but different. I have no idea if that is a) successful or b) helpful.

Flatbed scan of a 4x5 negative. I didn't scan as a transparency, which turned out much better than expected. Shot on Ortho film in a Crown Graphic.

Contact sheet of film from John Craddock wetland. I simply scanned these on a flatbed. Now I just need the motivation to put my darkroom back together and kick out some prints.

We went to what we thought was a hiking/biking trail in Anderson. It was very much so a mountain bike thing. Here is a disused chunk of boardwalk hiding in some weeds. Shot on Lomochrome Purple.

Our cat would yell at us when we would tell her to get down. _We_ were clearly the ones in the wrong.

I have two rolls of BW to develop. Until then, enjoy some more of the LomoChrome Purple.

To be honest, I'm not sure what these are. Shot on the Digital Holga at the John Craddock Wetland in Muncie.

Paths and structure at the John Craddock wetland preserve in Muncie taken on my Digital Holga. I also did a bunch of shots on my Minolta that I haven't developed, yet.

When I talk about my Digital Holga, this camera is what I mean. It's essentially a toy, and I will be posting more pictures from it soon.
