What is it about sunflowers that makes me so drawn to photograph them?

My local lab royally screwed up some of my very expensive film. Not at all happy, but tried to salvage a bit...

Godzilla trying to capture Tokyo in lenticular 3D, but runs into some trouble. Documentation of the event suggests this was Pre-Plague2020.

That one time I spent ages (literally years) trying to get a Triad Fotron camera working, & finally succeeding! Here are a few shots, using FRESH film (Lomography Earl Grey)

Forgot I once printed this shot on high quality (card?) paper! Glad to have stumbled across it!

Don't forget - print your works! Even MORE rewarding printed!!!

New vs old tech.
This shot is a still-life of 3D printed art/curio that I shot of 30 years expired Tmax, using my Sinar F1 (4×5) and Caltar II-E 210mm F/6.8 lens,
A fun juxtaposition I think

Screenshot of a conversation with a large language model (LLM), where it claims to be able to be able to describe a picture, and tells the person to upload the file, and when the person upload the file, the LLM responds that it can't respond to uploaded files.

I just 3D printed one of my film shots for the first time. I intentionally chose a B/W image because of limited 3D print materials, but then I decided to add some green to it just for fun. This could get fun if I refine things a bit more (and don't accidentally use a low-res copy of the orig)
