Film photographer in Birmingham, Alabama. I am somehow still an Auburn fan and I like it when it rains on F1 races.

Abilene, Texas. I shot this last year on half frame, and knew if I ever got the chance I'd be back with multiple cameras. Fuji X-T5 and Nikon FM2. I like the digital better than film, I don't know what's wrong with me. I love the shit out of this building. I stared at it for 20 minutes.

This was so random but I remember a movie called American Ninja III and I convinced my dad to rent it from the store and it had a bunch of murders in it and I had like serious nightmares from it. I just looked it up, I was 14.

A break from Texas photos. A muggy walk in Homewood this morning. Took an old Minolta 50mm 1.4 on the Fuji.

Every year they tell us this Auburn offense will be insane and every year we can barely get a first down.

Maybe my favorites from the whole trip? I guess it's all downhill from here? Panhandle, Texas. Yes, it's really called that. I guess they ran out of names.

There's going to be an obscene amount of posts from my 3 days in Texas. It was so good. Groom, Texas on 320D.

A few days in West Texas. Some film to develop, it should be good. Here’s some filthy iPhone photos.

Lanterns is so damn good. So much better than I ever thought it would be.

you know they are gonna leave us hanging again tonight somehow. I had kinda forgotten that TV could wreck my psyche like this. Makes sense it's the Lost guy. This is a very Lost feeling.

Birmingham, Alabama. It's from last May, but I don't think I posted it before. Portra 800, the good shit.

Thanks. Unfortunately this camera relies on the built in meter for exposure, there are no manual controls.

Chris Mitchell @ditchell.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Some expired half frame stuff. I haven't liked my last few half frame rolls, I think I am fading on this camera. Sometimes, the ancient selenium light meter just like doesn't work at all. I can see it not working. A little frustrating.

Accidents Wanted in Forestdale, Alabama. The Fuji 55mm 1.8 is one of the sharpest lenses I own, it was basically a free lens someone gave me with a ST901. I was gonna sell this camera until I developed a roll with it and literally gasped. It's better than any Nikon lens I own, for sure.

oh the first thing we'll hear about is how they are coming to take peoples guns. the gun people have been so quiet but they are ready to sell more guns with fear.

Wild looking half frame sunstar and flare. This roll was total garbage, but this was cool.

Chris Mitchell @ditchell.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I have a d850 now and also a xt5. Thinking of selling the d850 to fund a big dumb lens for the xt5, or save up for an older lens for the d850. It’s wheeler wildlife refuge in Decatur, Alabama, they have blinds and everything.

Chris Mitchell @ditchell.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
There’s a great wildlife refuge north of me I want to visit. Last time all I had was 200mm, and it was not enough.

Chris Mitchell @ditchell.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I thought I would glue that lens on my z7 but it felt soft and not in a good way. I think this was part of it for sure. Anyway I have a d850 now I’m going backwards

Chris Mitchell @ditchell.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I’m sure you’ve answered this a million times, but what is your setup? Is 400mm enough to do shit like this? I want to do shit like this.

Having a half frame camera means half my rolls are dumb stuff like the Sonic drive thru. Like what am I doing here? I am instituting a "no drive by shooting" rule because I swear to god half my rolls are like this. Probably need a crappy digital camera in the car instead of a crappy film camera, tbh

I follow an account on insta that is just concert merch tables and damn, t-shirts are forty five fucking dollars now. That's the price for a t-shirt. I am so goddamn old.

City walk is easy mode. I have to force myself not to go there when I wanna go shoot something quick.

Citywalk in Birmingham, Alabama. A random early morning. HP5 in a Fuji ST901 that somebody basically gave me. It's a nice SLR. I don't really need it, though. Came with a 55mm lens that is...pretty sharp.

Chris Mitchell @ditchell.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
sometimes I think I should probably just sell it all and just shoot GFX

The Apple Watch spying on literally everything I say....man I have always been a big Apple fan but that shit is deeply unsettling and wrong. I understand their (limited) ways to control it, but it's not really enough.

I’m in some Auburn starter pack on here and yes, I raced Bo Jackson at A-Day in 1985, but you will probably be sad to learn 95% of my posts are my descent into film photography madness. Bo won, by the way. War damn.

I call that stuff Kentmere 800. Hell, it’s not terrible at 1600.
