Positive film and some sunny weather.

Morning commute jumble.

I've been trying to purge unnecessary things from our storage unit; we have a standard 5X10' one since we live in a one-bedroom apartment, but would like to make it an even smaller one. I put up a grouping of K&F Concept filters on PentaxForums for a good price (conveniently all 49mm which is...

There is something special about how product=type shots look with this camera. Black things have such... nice black tones. Confusing sentence but there is something there.

I employed a technique I've used a couple of times in the past on an unidentified exposed roll of Superia 400 - I threw it in with Rodinal 1:100 for an hour. I didn't want to take this to a shop to be developed since I didn't know for sure that there would be anything on it. I couldn't identify...

Seen on the back of a Ram pickup truck today.

So cryptic, ominous even...

Busy Saturday, I was running around all day accomplishing a bunch of errands which we'd had to put off during the week, so all I have is a last-minute safety shot of a mint plant I bought today.

I didn't take to the idea of what I was calling a "slush pile" folder with the not-quite-delete images - it's too much work for what is essentially still unfinished culling. Instead, I decided to just be a little less forgiving and delete more of the files where I don't see anything remarkable...

Today got a little out of hand, so this one shot I snapped from my car window waiting for a red light will have to do! I drove in to work, so I could meet some clients for a loan signing at the medical center where one of them had an appointment.

Thank you, Mark. I am trusting that, having ripped open my camera and viewed its guts up close and personal, it will serve to deepen my bond with it. That is, if it can ever forgive me...

I've been following with some interest! It looks to be shaping up into a nice camera, and unless it falls flat in some serious way, I'll be quite tempted to get one.

I bought it from a fancy pen store in Boston, Massachusetts. We took an Amtrak trip across the country in the fall of 2019 - it was destined to be our last trip for a while when COVID hit shortly after the new year. Since then I've decided that big trips will include buying a new fountain pen...

But you can't sell the same product to the same customer again unless it's somehow "new."

The problem is with our expectations as computer users, John. We think things should continue in the way they are (with improvements), but operating systems are constantly reinventing themselves nowadays, and, if it's true what they would have you believe, people actually want this kind of...

Poor unsuspecting soul had no idea, at least until my shutter sounded.

Some morning shots from day 17, the urban jungle (the tools in my selection for the daily thread are thematically suitable!).

That's a very evocative image!

Here's an older photo of my everyday carry Kaweco Sport with the EF (extra fine) nib. It's still my go-to, along with the Field Notes blank notebook beneath it... though the latter has been discontinued, and I bought up a good supply from the second hand market to make sure I don't run out...

K-1 II with the new-to-me Pentax-F 50mm f1.7.

So far I've been able to make every day, which is good for me. I usually miss a few, and mostly near the beginning of the challenge, before I've made it more habitual. I'll take that.

Day 16 outtakes.

A fine idea!

I also have a Parker Jotter fountain pen. It's solid and simple and writes well. Mostly metal, too.

Ohh man, that is a nice pen! I've gotten into Kaweco pens and have three of their regular Sport models: black, burnt orange (whatever it's called) and most recently dark gray. I use the orange one the most with its extra fine nib, I find it has good steady ink flow but writes a thin enough line...

Some day 15 shots. One or two might make it over to the street thread. My bus was pretty full this morning and I was still shaking the sleep from my gray matter, so I shot on a lunchtime walk.

That focus falloff is super creamy!

I'll take this as a "sign" that sleeping on the job is acceptable today.

Had to settle for a safety shot today.

No commute today, so I took a walk to find a shot.

I get very hot under the collar whenever I reflect on the idea of real estate ownership without a personal/economic stake in the area. We see a lot of it on the west coast USA, where foreign investors are allowed to buy up commercial and residential properties. Something seems wrong with that...

Whew, okay... The GRIIIx cleaning process didn't exactly go as planned, but was still a success overall. I followed this guide which was succinct and had all of the necessary info to get to the sensor in a safe way. You can barely see, but there is a bit of dust sealing around the gap in the...

The Zappeion, Athens.

They are bad for my pocketbook. Good thing Kenmore is a significant drive from where I live with normal traffic, or I'd be there more often.

https://kenmorecamera.com/used-fujifilm-xf10-763815/ At a local(ish) shop. They are reasonable to ship and have a return window for their used gear, I've bought a fair amount of stuff from them with a couple of duds and several perfectly good pieces.

Good catch!

I love cat-rich cities.

Day 11 outtake: Day 12 outtakes:

Specter of fashion...
