Wasn't that many new ones in the end - commemorative coins are surprisingly rare nowadays, but maybe I just switched to digital with a card and stopped using actual cash, don't see coins that much in my pocket now

Funnily enough I've exceeded the limit on one of the accounts on Ucoin, wish there was a decent offline way to catalogue coins though, even stamps have StampManage with it's database and Scott catalogue license

Hello, Mr. Secret Stash Of Coins, long time no see since 2021.
Now to grade them and catalogue these ones

Granted you can chuck about 20-30 of them under a book press to straighten up but it's a fun box

Also just learned that stamps with glue on their back but stamped could be CTO or could be forgeries. Huh.

Hey. What do you know. It is at the very least 1000-2000 German stamps.

And yeah, font is deliberate, have a wheel of Courier 10 for a typewriter, using Samsung SQ-1030. Wanted to type out the adverts but holy crap am I glad that I didn't go that route.

As simple as it gets but still interesting how it's actually gonna go, though I do have my doubts that it's gonna be impactful in any way. Worth the shot in any case, small town, people talk.

Printed about 300 advertisement cards for my film lab, let's see if it actually works-matters

I like how the site is unreachable in russia without VPN for seemingly no reason whatsoever, nothing is blocked, it's just, doesn't work. CSS doesnt want to load in any way, shape or form, even if it's the same server and the same site

Okay, Stamp Identifier has some hilarious ads in it, peak comedy

>pipebomb in the filing cabinet
Fair enough, this forest is scary enough

Even on ~medium settings VotV is still beautiful

I miss Ebay and it's generous sales of ~10 bucks for 1000 or 2000 stamps

Got me some fun stuff - apparently 5000 German stamps. Gonna be fun to see if they are just German or some from Europe and if there are any semi-rare ones or they were all plucked out like it always usually happens

Found out anothe Bsky quirk - no more than one video per post. Oh well

Just missed the fact that I forgot to upload so much little things, maybe it's time.
Got under small little drizzle this summer, if you can call a heavy rain a "drizzle". Not that impressive on the video, way more fun in real life

People develop old color film in cold ECN-2. What is that? What time you take? Temperature? Hell if I know, been looking for that kind of info for 5 years.

Point is - when you try to search how to develop something - nothing comes up. Same thing nowadays with b&w - "oh it's standard, oh it's d-76" - what the fuck is a standard b&w process and what's the time and temperature, so much frustration and unnecessary obfuscation

Running a home lab myself and seeing direct results from my own and my clients films - it's virtually same, apart from a lot of cinefilm stocks being expired and fucky to get consistent colors from but that's a skill issue

And the ECN-2 chemistry handles expired film SO MUCH BETTER than C-41 does, like, why even bother. Online people say that it alters colors when you do this kind of cross-process but for the life of me I cant see any difference doing both

On this topic - we live in an age where there is so much information and many enthusiasts in film area but any info on ECN-2 is summarized as - "on it's too complex just use C-41 film". Process itself just needs to wash the soot from the film, it ain't that hard

On other news - tested some Kodak Aerocolor in ECN-2 last month - went pretty well

Maybe I'm misinformed but that's how it looks at a glance

I am very much at awe of the twitter ditching recommendations in favor of ai bullshit thing. Because while it is a private company and it can do whatever it wants - they are pretty much taking away the user freedom of choosing what they want to see on the platform

Need to start posting again, probably just for the process itself.
Look at this little guy, hooked up through Conversion technology (tm) to the WinXP machine

I ain't an expert but trying out variety of freshly roasted coffee blends kinda skews your view on an instant coffee, so you may not describe the difference, but you can feel the difference

Bought this thing recently. Not sure what words can describe this coffee stuff apart from "cheapest coffee blend available with worst kinds of artificial flavoring"

Like I said, printer go brrrr
Stack of film scans, being picky about my own pictures. Guessing it's gonna be more than digital, already about halfway, ~120 photos

Saddest part is - one roll is Kodak Kodacolor and I could've developed it this night alongside all the client film. The Big Oof.

So, I may created a problem solely for myself - 33 rolls of film to develop and scan. Oof.
