This roll of film has travelled from fridge to fridge in the family since it expired in 1997. Came out better than expected when I used it around campus back before the weather got really cold

I tried Lomochrome Purple, but this was the only decent picture I got from the roll.
(Do we tag things here? If so, #filmisnotdead #lomochrome #spotmatic)

Sunrise yesterday. Guess which idiot forgot they'd left the camera on ISO 20,000?
Sunrise over the North Sea. The sun has just crossed the horizon, lighting a narrow band of sky yellow and the clouds above and sea below peach to orange. Most of the sky is cloudy, and the foreground shows the exposed rocks of the shoreline at low tide, some of which are glinting yellow and red from the sunlight. To the right of the image are railings and a line of seafront houses. Brown's Bay, Cullercoats.

The cat is mortally offended that I am trying to work rather than devoting 100% of my attention to him

Aw, the original was deleted, so here's the Korean history meme again:
Image shows a history of Korea in meme form: a series of maps showing the territorial extent and name or flag of each political entity on the peninsula from protohistory to the present. The description of the north Asian state of Parhae (yes I still use that romanisation) as 'the surprisingly good fanmade crossover au' is what got me laughing.

Just so this page doesn't look too empty.... here's a picture I took in Northumberland last autumn, then took a year to get developed (because sometimes I like to make life hard for myself and take analogue photos - this one was on Kodak Pro Image 100)
Analogue (film) photograph of Acer palmatum leaves in Northumberland, taken with an old Pentax Spotmatic IIa camera and Kodak Pro Image 100 film. Then left for a year.
