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

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.

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.

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

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…

I got myself a little something the other day! I can’t wait to play through this again. #finalfantasy #retrogaming #playstation #ps1

As soon I thought that I could take the helmet off, they make me put it right back on. #twitch #mandalorian #thisistheway

Happy 40th anniversary to one of my favorite franchises! I will be streaming The Legend of Zelda tonight at around 10:30 central over at twitch.tv/purple_mando!

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

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

I’ve been playing a lot of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 in VR over the past few weeks… now I really want to get a pilot’s license.

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

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.

I only took two photos that I was proud of this year…

To celebrate the return of my “favorite” twitch channel points redeem, I’ll be playing Star Wars: Dark Forces tonight at 10:30-ish PM Central. Twitch.tv/purple_mando

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

I found my new favorite coffee mug… I miss shooting with Superia X-tra 400. #fujisuperiaxtra400

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

It’s not a good DSLR scan, but I kind of like it. It’s also my first time seeing an image from my Yashica Mat-124G.

010

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

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

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

I don't know when I'll get back to working on this costume. I haven't worked on it in five years. #mandalorian #cosplay

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

I don’t know why I like this mirror selfie so much… but I do. This was from one of the first few rolls of film that I put through my x-700. #filmphotography #minoltax700

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

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!

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

I 3D printed a miniature Neo Geo 2 slot arcade cabinet… because why not? #3Dprint

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

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

000

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

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

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.

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

I got this sick hoodie from @0foxshop.bsky.social the other day as a birthday present to myself. Now the weather just needs to get cooler so I can actually wear it.

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

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.

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

I may or may not be doing an entire stream in my Mando helmet tonight for #revengeofthe5th. Come hang out at 10 pm central over on twitch. #mandalorian #cosplay #starwarsbountyhunter #twitch

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Well that was a bust… I tried shooting 4x5 the other day, and my negatives came back completely blank. I have a feeling that my chemistry might be shot… #filmdeveloping #analogphotography #4x5photography

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

I’m really excited to finally shoot 4x5! I’ve tried 400d once before, but the results were horrible due to bad developer. I’ll probably end up sending this to a lab instead of processing myself just to be safe. #analogphotography

I got a new light today. I originally wanted to use it as a backlight replacement, but I think it works better as a fill in my streaming setup. I think I’m up to 14 photo and video lights that I’ve collected over the years… I don’t have a problem. #amaran #streamingsetup

I’ve wanted to read Berserk for a while, so when I found the first volume of the deluxe edition the other day while running errands, I had to get it. I also 3D printed a little Guts figure to sit on my shelf. #berserkmanga

Dalek @cpmdalek.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I finished my “On Air” sign the other day, and I decided to put it on my “gaming” shelf with some other small 3D prints. Now I just need to work on a solution that’ll let me turn it on from my stream deck. #3dprinting #diy

Since I don’t have the AMS lite for my A1, I decided to give manual filament swapping a shot. It was… time consuming. This is only the first four layers of the sign, but it still took me about half an hour. #3dprinting #bambulabsa1 #diy
