Has anyone done this as a way to laser cut a pinhole camera? This popped into my head yesterday and I figure someone has a *much* better design out there. This would use about 10 cuts of 1/8" wood.

Got to take some pinhole camera pictures this morning. This is a friend’s Zero Image and it’s a beautiful piece of woodworking.
A lacquered wood and brass pinhole camera with the lid removed to show an empty spool of 120 size film.

Got to see the (instructional portion) of the solar farm at Madison College. Really cool!
Looking out a third story window to see many solar panels on a flat roof.

I love the “doing stuff” parts of photography. This is a roll from the No Kings rally yesterday. #FilmPhotography
A light-tight canister sitting in a stainless steel sink holding a roll of film. Behind it are three measuring cylinders of developer, stop bath, and fixer.

A dilapidated bus sitting among many small metal sculptures. "Tommy Bartlett's" is written in fading paint on the front. Several rusty metal jugs or cans hanging from a pole. A metalwork sculpture incorporating a trumpet. A heavily riveted sculpture of a bird's head shown in profile.

It’s Sunday and I can have a fancy little drink as a treat.
A sparkling French Lemonade, mango flavor. It is an inviting peach color.

It’s nice to feel the city be alive while going to the farmers market. www.dcfm.org Shot with Canon EOS on Derev Pan 400. #filmphotography
A small white and gray dog popping out of a backpack dog carrier. The owner is smiling and holding his arms wide. An angular building occupies most of the frame. It has dark horizontal windows spanning the top floor. There is a rooftop area with glass rails along the top. A door off State Street with the number 33 on it. A group of men on bikes circled up and talking with one another.

The local telephone captioning company has this as their picture in Maps for some reason:
The Kool-Aid Man (CGI?) is standing outside a large nondescript office building. He’s giving his trademark thumbs up/“cowabunga” hand gesture.

A waterfall with a longish 1/4th of a second exposure blurring the water into wispy threads somewhat. There's a small sign that reads "Keep our fish healthy. No coins please" A quail walking across a brick path inside the Boltz Conservatory at Olbrich Gardens. There a people down the path somewhat but they are distant and out of focus. There is a sign with a picture of the quail on it saying something like "watch out for quail" An old decaying barn and silo in field of corn. There is a large tree off to the left in the image. A window washer about 20 feet up in the air suspended by ropes while he places his right foot on the exterior of the building. He has a large bucket and a squeegee and is wearing a white helmet.

Trying a new thing! #filmphotography
A large format (4x5 inches) film camera. It is set up on a tripod at a local park overlooking Lake Mendota. There is a small bench and a large tree by the lakeshore.

A photography tip I’ve frequently been given is to “print your work.” I’m starting just by cataloging things and making contact sheets. #filmphotography #believeinfilm
3 photographic contact sheets. A page of negatives are laid out directly on top of a sheet of photo paper and then exposed. This yields thumbnail images (actual size of negatives) on a full 8x10 page. About 35 images are made for a roll of 35mm film. On the right is a contact sheet of medium format (6cm square) negatives.

Finally pulled this out of the fridge and shot it. I like the look of it! It seems to have heightened contrast and just a certain something. #filmphotography #orthochromatic

The side of a garage in late afternoon. Soft shadows of a tree fall on the wooden siding. There's a single darkened window next to a row of hooks. There's a bumble bee house hanging from one of the hooks. Interior of a coffee shop. The camera was propped up on a glossy table and there are diffuse reflections of overhead lights visible on its surface. One woman is ordering at the cash register. A man is walking away from our perspective. Other patrons sit on the right side of the frame. A Little Free Library in the front yard of a house. There is a fence on the left and a few windows on the right. Many books can be seen within the little library. Ivy crawling up from the lower right to the upper left of a wooden wall, just underneath the two dark gray windows. The white paint is peeling. There is weedy underbrush below.

Buildings and paths: 90% of my photos. Kodak Ultramax on Pentax 17 half frame.
#filmpgotography
A white brick garage with red trim and a prominent red roll up door. It either looks closed for business, or out of business. A couple of Quonset hut looking buildings along a sidewalk. They are off white and partially shaded by nearby trees. There is a park bench in the foreground. A diptych image of a pier extending into lake Mendota. On the other side is the 180 degree view of an asphalt walkway leading to the pier. There are canoes and kayaks stacked on metal racks to the right.

Hiked around the Taliesin area in Spring Green overlooking the Wisconsin river. Also my first time shooting b&w with filters. #filmphotography
A Canon Rebel 2000 film SLR camera, a roll of Fujifilm Acros 100 B&W film, and an orange contrast filter.

Text: As the Times noted recently, chefs like Cleghorn have taken the basic idea and run with it. And now, the idea of a crunch-filled hexagonal package has now been reconfigured, reimagined, and rebr… Fast-food standard. [highlighted text] Like communism, the idea of the Crunchwrap is beautiful and wonderful, the chef Fernando Strohmeyer says. "It all depends on how you use it."

I believe this is a serious misunderstanding of the food pyramid.
Highlighted passage: “[David Bowie]…lived on a diet of red peppers, milk, and hard drugs” Full Text: In later years, Bowie called the mid-1970s "the darkest days of my life" due to "astronomical" usage of cocaine and amphetamines. 111 For much of 2275, he was obsessed with Satanic symbols, remained awake for days at a time, and lived on a diet of red peppers, milk, and hard drugs.!"' In subsequent interviews, he blamed his erratic behaviour and fascination with Nazi Germany and the occult during his Thin White Duke period on drug-induced paranoia and depression, and claimed that his mental state was such that he could not remember the late- 1975 recording sessions for Station to Station.
