Ft Harrison SP - Ricoh KR5 Super II with Kentmere 400 developed withDf96. This is one of the cameras from @robertscamera.com Tent Sale. Works AOK. Nice shutter release lock that requires that you partially engage the film advance lever to unlock & turn on the light meter. #filmphotography

First trail run of the season in the snow. Looks like I’m the 1st one on the trail since it snowed. So nice

I’m not a huge follower of US college football, scores or rankings but I do try to see what’s going on. Here’s what I’ve learned. This is a topic that drives some people absolutely MAD! Debates on politics, religion & sexuality? College football debates says “hold my beer” 😳

Bloomington - Mamiya 6 with Lucky SHD400 in 120 developed in Df96. REFLX Labs sells SHD400 in 120. An interesting film in 120. At the beginning of both rolls there’s a light leak on the 1st 3-4 frames as on the 2nd photo. Probably occurred when initially rolled. The film was also a dust magnet.

As you know I regularly buy "as is" cameras. My typical go to is @usedphotopro.com although I search other places as well. Here's a blog post on how I test used cameras to see if I want to invest. If you have other tips please share them:

More film photo scans this evening. Here’s one with the Dalai Lama. My youngest son was the tall dude on the far right. He took a few years of Tibetan studies at university becoming fairly fluent & therefore got to meet him during a visit to the USA.

Scanning some more film photos I took years ago I've had stored away. Here's the view of a portion of the Hong Kong skyline from my apartment. Probably 1994. Absolutely loved living in HK as an expat. Once in a lifetime experience.

Finally got my R hand surgery scheduled for next month. I ruptured a tendon in a finger last year & it's progressively gotten worse. The funny thing is that the hand surgeon has been saying it's an quick surgery (in & out). Now I find out it's actually 2 surgeries under general 😬 over 4+ months.

A friend of mine gifted me a Camp Snap toy digital camera this summer. Very, very basic digital point & shoot with no LCD. The only redeeming value is it's super light & basic. I decided to take it with me on a trail run because it's light & fit in my jacket pocket. Super grainy. Just for fun.

Now that cooler / colder weather is here Lola has a new sleeping bestie. We have an insulated fluffy donut with a grey pc of toweling in it. The towel is almost the same color as her fur so she almost disappears. She gives this arrangement 2 paws up!

After testing out the Minolta Dynax 9xi I tested the Minolta 7000i. I got both at @usedphotopro.com “as-is”. I really like the form factor of both but the 7000i fits easier in your hand. I’m a fan
