Been working down here for nearly 5 months, there was no way I was doing that tourist crap unless someone came down and MADE me

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Kodak has just updated its Ultramax and Gold box design:

analog.cafe/comments/w0s3

Along with the graphics, the company is changing how it distributes these emulsions. This can mean better prices for us in the near future.

I think this is a pretty important and consequential piece of news for anyone expecting to shoot Kodak film in the years to come. I also think that this is good news. What do you think?

📸 Canon F1 // 🔭 50mm F1.4 // 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 (except for the Van Gogh one, that’s an iPhone)

Didn’t factor in dim dramatic lighting when I put the slowest film I had in... but since we’re at the Peterson Automotive museum I’m gonna roll with it 🚗💨 (4/4)

Alberta has just veered off the cliff into full-on authoritarianism, stripping workers of fundamental rights, it is an inflection point for our country, but it isn’t sudden… this is the dark heart of the “new conservative” movement.

This movement is absolutely at its core a supremacist movement, one that supports “rights for me but not for thee”.

As the waves of labour action ripple out beyond Alberta teachers and past the boundaries of the province, you will be told this isn’t your fight, it’s a local matter; sit down and shut up.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a beautiful expression of one vision of what Canada can and should be, and they simply don’t want that vision.

This is a national issue and there are no neat legal solutions to this that can be done by others: instead changing this path for Canada will require people in the streets at numbers we haven’t seen in generations.

In case anyone needs one, Amazon still has 1 (one) Microsoft TV Photo viewer available! Complete with 3.5” floppy drive so you can show your grand pappy those new-fangled JPEGs on your Trinitron! This thing came out in 1999!

Reply to this and say a nice thing about somebody on the Fediverse. (Not me. I'm not fishing for compliments, I'm spreading good vibes.) Or boost if you're feeling shy.
