I finally got a chance to photograph the FedEx retro livery 777!

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Well I’m mildly annoyed. The lens stop for my 4x5 Polaroid broke. I know that I can just make a new one, but I really don’t want to…

It’s been almost a year since I last bought any film… wild. I got a couple rolls of Lomo 800 this morning. I have plans for the first roll, but the second is going to live in my fridge until I know what to do with it. I’m also a fan of the new BFC stickers.

This’ll be the third time that my grandmother’s canon AF35m will have to be fixed… at least I managed to finish the roll of film before the door locking switch broke.

I added two new games to my collection yesterday. I’ve heard mixed things about VIII, but everyone I talk to loves X. Either way, I’m glad I have these in my collection.

While not the longest I've ever taken to finish a roll of film, I finally took the last shot on a roll I've been working on since January. That makes eight rolls and six 4x5 sheets in the development backlog, and five rolls still in cameras...

I guess I’m collecting PS1 games now. I got The Legend of Dragoon a couple of days ago, and I’m pretty excited to start playing it.

I got bored, so I 3D printed a model arwing from Star Fox.

I need to do something today. I might take the 4x5 out for a spin, or maybe I could finish the roll of Lomo turquoise in my Minolta. I also have something like five or six rolls of 35mm that need developing and archiving…

In case anyone wants to know my least favorite camera in my collection, it’s this Argus C3. The lens is nice, but it’s downright painful to use. #filmcamera

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

After almost 25 years, I finally beat the hardest game I own on twitch. Super Star Wars for the SNES! I will be playing through it again to complete the retro achievements badge, so check out twitch.tv/purple_mando to see me suffer through it all over again. #retroachievemnets #snes #retrogames

The good news is that I replaced the battery in my 3DS after I discovered it turned into a spicy pillow. The bad news is that my SD card was unreadable…. I guess that gives me an excuse to replay A Link Between Worlds.

The last scan I did had way too much digital noise in it, so I rescanned it with better settings and adjusted the color a bit more. This is easily my favorite photo from this year. #largeformatfilm #largeformatphotography #analogphotography #filmphotography #cinestill400d #polaroid110a

Good news: the light meter in my mat-124G actually works. Bad news: I can’t get to the wire for the battery terminal because I don’t have the right socket to remove a single nut… #camerarepair

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

I managed to clean most of the garbage out of this camera, but the glass is still in rough shape and the shutter speeds are off by a little bit. I’m pressing my luck with a roll of Kodak gold 200, so we’ll see how it goes. #analogcamera #filmcamera #yashicamat124g

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Got a new camera for my collection! I have wanted a Yashica mat-124G for years, and I finally got one… but it’s in rough shape. Fungus and haze in the taking lens, sticky shutter speeds, and a bit of rust inside. On top of all that, the light meter window is broken… along with the meter. #filmcamera

I stocked up on some 35mm film the other day. I absolutely love ilford xp2 super, and you can’t go wrong with portra. I’m really interested in trying the lomochrome turquoise, and I have the 320D already in my camera. I also have some 120 film on the way for a new camera that I am excited about!

My latest thrift find! I’ve never actually used a film point and shoot with a zoom lens. I just loaded up a roll of expired 800 speed film, so we’ll see how it goes! #pentax #filmcamera

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

I finally managed to get out the other day and shoot with this thing. I have no idea when I’ll be able to develop and scan the film, but it really felt good to just get out and use it. #filmcamera #4x5camera

I found a bunch of movies on VHS the other day while thrifting, including the original Alien trilogy box set. Fun fact: I had never seen Alien until now.

I found a cheap pair of IEMs for $13, and they aren’t half bad. I needed them to use while wearing my mandalorian helmet during streams and for the costume’s hearing amplifier.
