Polaroid’s Polachrome… a 35mm film that could create slides in minutes with its own chemical pack and dedicated processor… if memory serves it was very susceptible to scratches and a favourite of Bob Carlos Clarke. #filmtober

Last week an old(er) chap asked me if I’d like to be 60 again… he’d been chatting to someone who said they would and so would he… I’m 56 🙄

I tend to rate Portra 400 at 200 and love the results… haven’t shot any in a while though…

That should be a good read!

I can see why… it has a lovely ‘feel’ to it…

Old railway lines are very much my thing!

I had long hair from my teens until last year (40ish years). Then I was given a high-res webcam for zoom meetings… it sat higher than my laptop’s built in camera and showed how thin my hair was getting in excruciating detail… had it all cut off the next day! 😂

I had an 885 when they first came out and often used a 2CR5 for emergency power!

Andrew Douglas @andrewdouglas.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
I seem to think you can use a 2CR5 lithium battery to test a 995

That reminds me very much of happy days spent in France…

It’s plausible!

Exactly this! Grace started with an Instax Mini I’d got knocking around, I gave her a Panasonic bridge camera (with a Leica lens) for her birthday in July and there’s an EOS 300 35mm SLR with her name on it when she’s ready…

I’m all for encouraging anyone into photography… my friend’s oldest granddaughter (13) will be studying photography this year and she’ll want for nothing! (She’s adopted me as an honorary uncle so I’m allowed to spoil her!)

Is there any way we can donate the cost of a couple of rolls of film to the cause?

Many years ago I walked away from an interview so shambolic that when they asked ‘don’t you want this job?’ I had no choice but to say an emphatic ’no!’

So many potential employers forget that interviews work both ways…

I’ve seen it quite a bit here in the UK…

Nice chopper! 😂

Yep! I’d have bought that too and I definitely don’t ’need’ any more cameras…

You and I could easily be fanciful men… that’s not at all difficult to imagine!

Everything seems to be about ‘lifestyle’ these days… that’s one of the reasons we’ve needed (and not bought) a new kitchen for 15 years now!

Any one of the three Mini Coopers from the Italian Job… the original Minis from the 1969 film, NOT the BMW pretender from the dreadful remake!

The emotion you put into a performance must be exhausting but believe me the audience shares every nuance of those emotions with you.

Sounds good to me! I’m in!

Well… it's taken years but I've finally acquired a battery holder for this little beauty, a Mamiya ZE-2 35mm SLR… and it works! I've also picked up a Tamron Adaptall mount for the Mamiya Z system! #BelieveInFilm

Many years ago I got chatting to someone who’d performed to precisely zero people at the fringe but it was still a CV highlight! 🙄

I love Edinburgh (was there on Saturday, Edinburgh City v Elgin) but the fringe has never even remotely appealed!

Camera was a write-off and back then regarded as a monstrosity… I can’t remember what it was replaced with, probably a big zoom Samsung… MiL regretted breaking the camera, mostly because it led to her daughter meeting me! 😂

29 years ago my (then future) mother-in-law dropped and broke her Aiborg leading to her daughter bringing it to my shop for a repair… the rest, dear reader, is history… said daughter and I have been married for almost 26 years!

The current scene in Wifey’s office/sewing room… Dreamies have been consumed, fusses have been administered… We don’t actually have a cat! 😂 #CatsOfBluesky
