I have just realised, I can now say I have been to all Australian States and main land territories.
And I’ve camped in 6 out of the 8.

The South Australian border police take contraband very seriously!
Do NOT take fruit across the border. We missed the apparently 21 signs telling us to discard. 😬

I'm driving into the centre of Australia with a shitbox. All in the name of charity.
Pretty sure this is where the Aliens parked
As you read this I am on my way to Alice Springs, NT. For those who don't know...that's in the middle of Australia. Its a ****** long way from Melbourne. 5 Day drive. Why might I be going into the desert you ask? Well I am doing the Shit Box Rally. In short, I'm raising money for cancer research in honour of my friend Stu who died of a brain tumour back in 2020.

I buy an EOS300 to replace the stolen EOS33. It's not as good, but it does the job.

Synology doing its best to alienate its customers. Apparently all models pre 2025 are now at end of life. So no more updates.

Why the hell are we normalising “ray ban” spy glasses? It’s fucking creepy.
I don’t care if they’re from a brand name, I don’t want you to be secretly recording me for whatever purpose.
Someone in the cafe was wearing them the other day and now I see them all over social media.

No idea if I prefer the scanned neg or the darkroom printed version. Should I reprint? Help me decide!
Edgar? I ‘ardly know ‘er
Last week I shared an image shot with the new to me Zeiss Ikon Nettar of a waterfall at Edgar’s creek near to where I live. I had finally managed to sneak some time into the darkroom to actually print this up and I think it turned out ok. I'm an incredibly impatient person (character flaw I'm working on), so when I've shot a roll of film I instantly want to see all the images straight away.

I really like the acting in Strange new worlds. But what on earth is going on with the story lines in S3? It’s all some form of ROM COM style. It’s becoming unwatchable. Fleshing out a character doesn’t always have to include who do they want to sleep with. Spock has had 3 partners so far

Just ran my film print test and it would appear that Kentmere 200 in D23r should be shot at 160 (with my chem and dev style)
