Imma disagree with that "no trouble or fatigue" claim 😆

A boxy film camera made of gingerbread with a large sugar lens and a paper shutter haning from the top and bottom. It has a criss-corss icing sugar pattern on the top half. The camera ion a white/red stripe wrapping paper background

A blurry photo of me with a Christmas tree no the background. Shot on Instax Squre with the gingerbread camera.

A photo of me finishing up the decorating the gingerbread film camera.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Here's my most comprehensive overview of this edible film camera project with a sugar lens:

Building the “World’s First” Gingerbread Camera
www.analog.cafe/r/building-t...

It was featured on PetaPixel, designboom and others. 📸🎞️

Wine, boobs, and travel. Sounds about right.

I'm a full on 5. 100% thought picturing something was, like, a metaphor until I stumbled across a youtube video when I was...almost 40?

Will it be ever thus?

Polaroid picture. The whitewashed wooden wall of a parklet has been tagged in red with the message "Be Kind.." I don't know why there are two dots instead of a period or an ellipses.

Be Kind..

Woo hoo! Have fun with it! I love the strong vignette it has, and you can get some major lens flares (see attached). Watch the way you hold it, because I still get the occasional finger over the lens 🤦

Oooh, good question! Luckily I had an unloaded one to test. This sprocket advance deal under the lens by my nail re-cocks the shutter. Roll that to the left until it clicks and try firing.

If you see this, post a bridge (taken with a shitty camera)

Kids studying the French language today have it so easy. Some of us had to study French way back in one thousand nine hundred four twenties seventeen

Those colors 😍

Merci!

A hillside vineyard is awash in golden autumn leaves. An oak tree shades a boulder. A sky is filled with small, white, fluffy clouds.

Same, gurl

Thanks, Andrew!

Aw, thanks y'all 🥰

Standing in an alley between two brick buildings, looking up at the Transamerica Pyramid in the background. The fire escapes on the building to the left loom larger than the skyscraper. The lomochrome purple film lends a surreal note to the image, the sky a disconcerting turquoise, the buildings oddly magenta, the leaves on a tree at the bottom a bright purple.

Happy #shittycamerachallenge to those who celebrate.

Sticking a weird film* in a plastic camera you got at the thrift store for $3** seems like a perfect way to go about it.

A polaroid picture of the sun setting over the Pacific ocean. The golden sun sends out rays of light and reflects on the surf and sand below and illuminates the clouds above.

Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Whose shadow, long and low
Is slipping out of wet clothes

Polaroid picture of two teenage girls on horseback on the beach with Morro Rock in the distance. The late day light is low and golden, casting long shadows.

Total luck, tbh!

Honestly, when I pulled it out of my bag a while later, same. And I had held the camera over my head to try to get the full reflection of the heron, so I had no idea what my actual framing was.

A polaroid print of early morning sun as it illuminates the underside of the clouds with a soft yellow light and is reflected in the water below. A great blue heron is silhouetted against the water.

A pile of Polaroid pictures are spread out on a picnic table.

Back from the inaugural Analog Forever camping retreat and boy do I have some scanning and film processing to do

I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.

Please 🙏
