What were you doing down in Antarctica?
Short version, spent a week walking down their fuel distribution pipelines looking for potential issues (inadequate pipe supports, potential leak points, etc.)What were you doing down in Antarctica?
Artsy!Just got a roll of film back and I’m in love with this photo. I used a toy camera I found at a thrift store - one of those plastic things you’d get for free with your Time-Life subscription. I sealed it from light leaks (which wasn’t 100% effective) and lubed the winder. Film was Ektar 100. I don’t remember where it was taken - maybe near Cortez, maybe outside of Salida. The camera naturally vignettes and is always slightly blurry thanks to the tiny plastic 10mm lens and cheesy sliding fixed aperture. All the shots with this camera end up pretty dark and I think that does something with the Ektar to bring out the saturation. The shot just ended up looking real … dreamy, for lack of a better term. It feels like a place out of time.

Totally bro 🤣Artsy!
Ummm, extra crunchy.Shark Valley, Everglades, FL. Live turtle in his mouth.
Heck yeah. I have an ancient Olympus XA that I came across probably 15 years ago. Back in its day (1979) it wasn't anything super special but by today's standards it's got a pretty nice little lens (35mm, f/2.8) and decent enough meter for slides. It also vignettes a little, flares easily and has a bit of a "nostalgic" color shift. But I absolutely love that little thing, too bad it's getting almost impossible to find film (E100 is $20/36-exposure roll and it costs me about $19 to have Denver Digital process it via mail). I may be forced to finally go digital. Yuck.Just got a roll of film back and I’m in love with this photo.
