Oh man that gives me flashbacks. Especially getting ready for winter coming up. Might have to go dust that off and play.
Yup, it is very often that the risk trade-off favours starting early. There’s a term alpine start for a reason. Whether it’s impending weather later in the day, or snow conditions will warm increasing avalanche risk, or the objective is just so long you want to make sure you’re back down on the easy bit. Had the latter last month. Did a traverse is seven summits and even with the 6am start it was dark by the time we got down from the ridge and back into the valley. Trail ran our way out by headlamps, singing dumb songs to not spook any grizzlies. Such a good outing!
Mountain biking, beach, rock climbing, climbing gym, snowboarding, trail run, photo walk, games night, camping … I like where I live!
Believe it or not Kodak very much still exists. Film photography is in a resurgence, and plenty of movies are still shot in it. Also a large chemical division. Still nothing compared to its glory days though.
Knocking on the door of 40. I spent this week moving into my own new place after a decade of toxicity, so this one resonates with me as well.
I’m an architect. It’s nice having the project I’m actively working on always active on one screen, with design sketches, marked up revisions, email with comments from client, renderer etc. active on the other. Sure it only saves a second not having to tab back and forth, but if you’re doing it non stop all day it makes a big difference. Also just less effort.
“gluteal crease” that’s a new one for me, well done.
Got my grandpa’s Minolta XE7 in the bag on my way to visit my daughter for the holidays. Not my oldest camera, but he’s not around anymore so there’s some nice sentiment capturing family moments with his camera. Security hand checked the film, no questions asked, so that’s nice. Couple rolls of HP5 to push for inside, and some Gold 200 if we get some sunny weather.
A few more for you that I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned: Kalaido Tycho Worakls The Cinematic Orchestra
Wildfires had my place on evacuation alert, the garbage dump was on fire with 800+ AQI index, so I said fuck this and got out of town for the weekend. Two hours later I got the Amazon delivery notification. World was burning and couldn’t breathe, but Amazon finds a way.
Lower Manitoba 😂 so that makes Saskatchewan into Northest Dakota and the Okanagan is Upper California?
Same here. Have yet to find a reason to consider anything else.
Thanks! Loving how much detail those negs capture. It’s crazy to think I’m stitching 4 images with my Fuji and macro setup and I’m still leaving resolution on the table.
BW400CN was before my time. I’ve got a 10 rack of TMAX100 that was short dated so picked that up on sale. I like it in 35mm but that extra fine grain might be a little redundant in 4x5!
