In 2025, I took 605 photographs on #film:

568 on the #fujifilmtx1 / #xpan
37 on the #minoltaps

Of those, 191 were marked as 3* or higher, which is the minimum for when I'll consider editing/sharing an image.

86 were published, for a net hit rate of ~15%.

I aim for 10%, so this was a good year.

The original B&W #selfportrait I did featuring this idea was taken ten years ago. At the close of 2025, I felt it was time to update it with the camera I've used practically since then-- the #fujifilmtx1.

A lot's changed in ten years, but I'm still as into #photography as ever. Here's to ten more.
