Ahhhhh that’s fucking rad

Oh shit! instant SLR, right? Can’t wait to see those.

B-bump.

I began wanting a respectable SLR for floral and botanical shots, which the Canon ain’t great at.

Good for comparison.

I like diptychs and the enhanced grain for street and city stuff A LOT, but I know half frame currently has a hipster tendency. It’s nice to have the freedom to BRAAAAAP off a bunch of shots and not care, and as someone learning it lets me take the same shot twice with slightly different settings.

Double duty words

It’s cute, it’s heavy, and while I’m no great photographer the Canon takes some exceptional half frame photos

I’m young in the hobby, but my attachment to that thing will probably never break. It feels incredible in the hands and I’m only just getting into full frame photography, somewhat begrudgingly (I don’t have the money to splash out for an Olympus F Series SLR half frame). I love it to death.

Oh it has Ferguson Eyebrows

My best memories in high school that didn’t always involve LSD. But sometimes.

When we move I plan on bulk loading fomapan for black and white and getting an enlarger. Making prints was favorite part in high school.

Real nice folks. Shame I discovered them 8 months prior to moving. I do have a storage area in our Buffalo basement set aside to become a darkroom, though.

Do you develop locally there or mail it in?

You gots to be careful with the name change cause people will be like “Who?! EXCUSE ME, I don’t know her.”

One really likes HP5+. The other swears by TMAX. That sort of bickering

One thing I like is that there are two employees that argue each other about film whenever I ask an opinion on one

Camera Exposure and Safelight Labs San Diego's favorite place to develop film and buy, sell, trade and repair used and vintage camera equipment. Stop by our Adams Avenue storefront to join a growing photography community.

I had mostly bad experiences with every shop here except for this one. The folks at Nelson Photography (down the street), dealing in only new stuff, have nice employees that told me about them.

I think the lens will be great for floral and botany stuff.

Thanks! I picked it up from a local shop that guided me in this direction. I love the weight, the features are just about exactly what I want, CLA’d with a 90 day warranty, and I was able to support a camera shop that heavily supports the LGBTQ+ community. All around a very exciting day.

That’s what Newports are for

Sex is great, but have you tried pacing around while shuffling one deck of cards for 45 minutes?

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Holy shit

So this is the "hero image" from my last Substack post. I keep going back to it. It's my second go at botanical photography on large format film, but I'm optimistic.
