Working on a loveseat for our room out back, this old one came from my late gramps music room. Used to be a rather unpleasant fabric so I've started converting it to these couple red fabrics I happened to have. Doesn't look too bad!

Corny mirror selfie time Also testing an fm

Fixed up a nikon F a buddy of mine gave me in rough shape, 1000th speed was capping badly and the slow speeds under 30th we're hanging open. Got it fixed up and looks like it's solid! 📷 nikon f 🔍 nikkor 50/1.4 ais 🎞️ ilford delta 100 @ 50 (exp 2000s) #filmphotography #35mm #film #nikonf

Also jesus body I know I'm fat as hell but did we have to make the good knee hurt so bad? Fuckin right knee is pissed, probably the concrete I stand on way too much lol

Local camera shop, Woodward camera, has a layaway option for pretty much anything in the store. Went in there earlier and saw a rollei 35 SE in nearly perfect condition for 250, so needless to say in 4 weeks to months I'm gonna have a little guy lmao Also had a bessa r, but I can't lol 😭

dabbing chicken

Another random test, need to figure out the synth side and clear out some stuff that had been stored temporarily in the room. Plus potentially re-home some gear that I don't have room for lmao

Had a day off, so started working on getting my studio room cleared out and set back up. Had a few things still mostly set up so gave it a quick test! #synth #tape #music

Man why the fuck does taco bell beans and rice taste so good what the fuck

May have had a moment of weakness 😂 Holy shit these things are so adorable, they're so fucking small!!! A little tiny pocketable SLR and it looks good? 😍

Holy christ I need this covering every square foot of my home

The littlest guy, the cutest dude, the smallest boi Rockin that pancake too, shit fits in a coat pocket and weighs nothing hell yeah Had to sell my last one cause some prick swapped the focusing screen the hard way for a ground glass and my eyes are too shit to focus on that 😂

More random vibes from testing my repaired domiplan. Looks pretty good tbh! I think I did it right phew 📷 exakta vx 🔍 meyer domiplan 50/2.8 🎞️ foma 400 @ 800 (pushed 2x) #filmphotography #35mm #film #b&w

Weather got weird a couple weeks ago and caused this fun inversion, pardon the kinda shit results I was guessing exposure and guessed a littttle hot. Also that first one was one handed lol 📷 rollei 35te 🎞️ tmax 100 @ 800 (exp 2000s) #filmphotography #b&w #35mm #film

Made a little vid for my map, wanted something to slap on the workshop lmao

Finished my map finally! Real weird one, abused a lot of seamless teleports as per usual. Also I made a train yay #gmod #hammer

More nikon F shots, the 1/1000 speed does work normally a decent majority of the time. I think the cold is fucking it up oh well. Now I have two Fs! 📷 nikon F 🔍 nikkor 50/1.4 ais 🎞️ kentmere 400 @ 1000 #filmphotography #35mm #b&w

Friend of mine at the local camera shop dropped a pretty fucked up nikon F with the low speeds inoperable and the 1/1000 capping worse than I've ever seen lol. Got it working fine, took it out with the 50/1.4 ais I fixed! 📷 nikon F 🔍 nikkor 50/1.4 ais 🎞️ kentmere 400 @ 1000 #filmphotography #35mm

More shots, but different film and camera! I fixed a domiplan 50/2.8 and wanted to do a proper test on my big boy exakta 📷 exakta vx 🔍 domiplan 50/2.8 🎞️ fomapan 400 @ 800 #filmphotography #b&w #exakta #35mmfilm

Last of the pics, that double traffic cone is so fuckin funny I dunno why 📷 kmz kiev 4am 🔍 zeiss-opton sonnar 85/2 🎞️ kentmere 400 @ 1000 (pushed 3) #filmphotography #35mm #film #b&w

Pardon the spam, I took a lotta pics this past weekend finally lul. Here's more coke can sonnar shots 📷 kmz kiev 4am 🔍 zeiss-opton sonnar 85/2 🎞️ kentmere 400 @ 1000 (pushed 3) #filmphotography #35mm #film #b&w

Scanned in the test shots from that coke can sonnar lens, apart from me being bad at framing they look good! 📷 kmz kiev 4am 🔍 zeiss-opton sonnar 85/2 🎞️ kentmere 400 @ 1000 (pushed 3) #filmphotography #35mm #film #b&w

Got this chode of a lens the other day, did a quick roll to test it and daaaamn it's a real nice lens. Now I just have to figure out how the hell to frame shit with it

Little spoiler for the next map, I've been working on this little easter egg/developer room for a couple days. Also I've been playing a lot of alan wake 2 can you tell lmao I'm so close to being done with this map holy shit please I wanna release it I wanna be free lmao

Oh and here's the side path (plus some extra shots), stumbled into some sort of abandoned lot that used to be a small strip mall I think. Found a barrel of water and bore sites so probably ground water testing yeesh 📷🔍🎞️ Same as the last one #35mm #filmphotography #b&w

Very intense clouds on a little hike a couple weeks ago. Went up the clinton river trail and found a neat little side path not long after! 📷 tower 51 (iloca rapid b) 🔍 steinheil cassar 50/2.8 🎞️ arista edu dx 100 (probs kent) #filmphotography #35mm #b&w

Pardon the bad phone mic, but yay radio is working very well! Needs cleaning and tuning but it's still working about as well as I remember from before the legs broke wahoo Also 90.9 FM is the goat here in Detroit fuck yeah jazzy nights

Fucking around with some fun stuff in gmod lmao

Last of that quick test roll, and a few random sights around clawson. So glad the praktica is working again, cheap cam fix ups always feel nice! 📷 praktica fx3 🔍 mamiya 50/2 🎞️ tmax 100 @ 400 (exp 2000s) #35mmfilm #filmphotography

Have some slightly more industrial feeling shots, that one with the sun in the window's reflection is kinda neat 📷 praktica fx3 🔍 mamiya 50/2 🎞️ bulk tmax 100 @ 400 (exp 2000s) #35mmfilm #filmphotography #b&w

Also fixed up my stereo console, the legs snapped on mine so I replaced it with some simple boxes to make it a little more stable! Still working too, gotta repair the turntable though Oh also those two chairs I finally finished make it a nice little nook, very cozy

Also I made this footstool to go with my wingback, didn't have a pattern so I kinda just took a crack at it. Improv baby I don't hate it! It's also pretty comfy, makes a nice seat

We got a few new racks and shelves in at work and holy shit I've actually got room to breathe and move around again, it's wonderful lmao Can actually stow all the furniture bits and bobs effectively and efficiently now yayay

There we go, first hurdle cleared! Here's a quick WIP build of my latest gmod map if you wanna take a look at it. There's a shit ton in this one, that little island hides an awful lot... 😉 #gmod #hammer

Finally got both my chairs done, left one is from like almost three years ago and the right one I finished the other day. Nice to have both finally finished!

Here's a roll from a few weeks ago, testing out my praktica fx3 post-clean and a mamiya 50/2 📷 praktica fx3 🔍 mamiya auto 50/2 🎞️ tmax 100 @ 400 (exp 2000s) #filmphotography #35mmfilm #backalley

Some bridge underside shots from the snow day, mmmm concrete 😍 #kiev4 #35mm #filmphotography #fsucamera #sonnar

More snowy snaps, it was fuckin coming down so hard lmao. Plus the melt had the river going nuts #filmphotography #35mm #sonnar

Finally got this machine fully working, needed a pressurized air line to fully work whoops He goes cachunk

Very snowy day yesterday, I was sad cause my contax IIa suddenly jammed while rewinding and it's off for servicing. But I got a Kiev 4am and it's working great! Plus needed to test a keks meter and that worked great too #35mm #fsu #tmax400 #filmphotography

Here's a video showing that new map off a bit, I'm pretty pleased so far though it's still very rough atm #garrysmod #hammer #brutalist

Here's some more screengrabs from gmod, new area in the map I'm working on. Hopefully have a decent WIP up on the workshop this weekend! #garrysmod #brutalist

sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night just thinking about what an incredible deal The Orange Box was
