At this point, I feel im on a mission to save old cameras looking sad Oh hello my new German friend

Orange. We don’t have enough colour in the world today and whoooah boy does my Seiko 6106-7107 have that and is a legendary piece. She’s just turned 56 (march 1970) and the rotating internal bezel wins it for me. I have a problem with vintage Seiko

I’ve reached that stage in my life where I’m now doing camera repairs for turn of the century digital cameras and slightly older

However, they also introduced technological obsolescence in a way by soldering the lithium batteries directly to the main board. No user-serviceable parts inside. Today, most Disc-7s are "bricked" unless you open them up and replace them with a modern 6v option

These negatives were tiny, a minuscule 8x10mm. For comparison, 35mm film is 24x36mm! Because of this, Kodak needed to develop T-Grain (Tabular Grain) film specifically for this format to keep image quality sharp.

Kodak launched Disc Film in 1982 to save the "point-and-shoot" market. Each disc was 65mm in diameter and held 15 exposures

it’s a time capsule of 1980s "gadget-ism" that predicted the future of social media while being trapped in one of the most doomed film formats ever created Disc Film

1983 was the year Matthew Broderick nearly sparked World War III in WarGames. While he was busy hacking into WOPR, Minolta was launching a piece of hardware that looked like it belonged on a NORAD control panel: The Disc-7

Yes, it has never been easier to make a web scraper and yes most websites still cannot handle this, but as the thirst for more data continues, this lawsuit is going to be one to watch I’ve seen so many posts saying “make a scraper, you can earn so much cash..” in recent times and whooah boy

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

this one just made me think of Ernst Haas' work with colour. It's nowhere near his level but I tried for those who care, Leica MP anthracite, 35mm Summicron ASPH, most were 1/15th

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Finally got my Kodak Vision3 motion picture film scans back of Thailand. Low light, playing with colour and I'm super happy with these. Really sums up the vibe that is Silom, BKK and I do miss my old home

Felt it was time to upgrade my camera processing setup and get with the times. You know, modernise and all that. Dual monitors. 1.25gb ram AND g4 PowerPC. Unhackable as all those who could write shellcode for this chip now have back pain.

Then to wrap up, @largecardinal.bsky.social and his jolly adventures being a diamond consumer that excites things with many legs in order to create a hackable quantum sensing platform based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy centres. MIND f**ken blown. Badge lyfe isn’t about blinky lights anymore

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Then last year the Aerospace Village made, possibly the best badge ever and this year they’ve done even more. It’s beautiful and does more than just blink

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

I mean we’ve had some truly epic badges over the years. Joe Grands truly beautiful quartz one from DC27 that used near field magnetic induction to interact with other badges. A true work of art if you ask me

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

I had one of these originally in the 90s, and it was my first adventure in digital. I thought what a fitting piece of equipment to document 90s & early 2000s hackers that I know and call friends. All whilst storing them on media we once loved and used

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Alongside the other cameras I'm taking, I have long been trying to document the hacker history that is slowly fading into the annals of time. I recently picked up a sealed never been used before Sony Mavica MVC-FD5 and got some stiffy disks too.

Annual pilgrimage to vegas begins and with that is the yearly “what camera and stock shall I take for the desert?” This year I will be tinkering with infrared, and I think shooting red rock Canyon/Valley of Fire with this emulsion should be pretty damn impressive.

So here’s to Stephen and many others who have managed to document a period of time, but I feel we will never get back

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

It doesn't resonate in the same way, does it? Or is this just us, accustomed to seeing and perhaps even accepting the bland and mundane as our visual norm?

110

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

Consider the work of Stephen Shore, arguably one of the finest photographers able to capture "uncommon places", or rather, to make the seemingly mundane look profoundly amazing.

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

The vibrant, specific character of the everyday, once a fertile ground for artistic exploration, seems to have given way to a pervasive sense of generic similarity.

131

Daniel Cuthbert @dcuthbert.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

I've wondered for a very long time if modern life, architecture, and particularly automotive design have almost killed off an entire genre of photography that we grew up on and see as art.

This one for me, best damn image I shot that trip Kodak Pro 100 too, coz portra is too expensive
