FRIDAY-MORNING CREW These two properly seasoned and mildly weird (i.e., cats) cats STILL don't have a forever home. You—yes, YOU—need two perfectly affectionate cats to spoil. (Please reshare wherever decent humans may be. Office, neighborhood, libraries, EVERYWHERE.)

You can tell they’re like, “Oh but Dolly’s a smiling southern white blonde lady with a lot of money, so she’s conservative-coded, so any progressive politics she expressed just cancels out.” They think aesthetics and values are the same. They’re think everybody’s just that shallow.

It’s so intellectually dishonest for anybody to cast Dolly Parton as apolitical. It’s so cynical. It tells me that they think everybody’s values are aesthetic, just for show.

#ShittyCameraChallenge Back to the Nikon V1, some shots from a walk in the park

A couple in winter clothes walks down a path past a tree with a few shriveled leaves hanging on long past fall

An old bike, possibly abandoned, leans against the far side of an open metal gate on muddy ground with the remains of snowfall on it

Two trees stand together in a field silhouetted against the sun with a third smaller tree in the distance framed in the space between the first two trees’ trunks

I bought a Belomo Vilia on eBay in hopes of replacing my toy camera (an ektar h35) for the #ShittyCameraChallenge but it was instant eye strain for me to try to see the lines and such in the viewfinder so now it’s my husband’s toy and I’m back in search of a new shitty film camera

#ShittyCameraChallenge I got a number of shots I liked in Regensburg so I have a bit of catching up to do. The duo in the second photo were called “All Acoustic” and were playing at a Christmas market we wandered by. This is still with the LX7. I hope to take the N1 V1 out this weekend.

Hey #ShittyCameraChallenge, here are a couple more photos from Sunday in Regensburg with the LX7. I’m actually getting along with the non-tilt screen and no viewfinder better than I expected.

A model cruise ship and a jumble of sticks and netting in a store window. The photo is in black and white.

I took my Lumix LX7 with me to Regensburg yesterday, so I’ll be posting some those photos for the next few days, probably. #ShittyCameraChallenge #ArtAdventCalendar

Here are some more photos from Freising Diocesan Museum on the N1 V1 #ShittyCameraChallenge #ArtAdventCalendar

I’m almost ready for the #ShittyCameraChallenge! Just need to figure out where my H35 wound up after our trip in October, since it already has black and white film loaded in it… But I have two digital cameras ready and set up! One black and one white, as luck would have it 😂

@shittychallenge.bsky.social is there going to be another challenge this December/January?

farbenfroh.bsky.social @farbenfroh.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

In other #ShittyCameraChallenge news, I got the film from my December photos on the H35 back at the end of last week, and scanned them over the weekend. Just need to learn how to process the scans now…

I found my old (analog) point and shoot from 2002/3 and it still works! I’m pretty sure it’s too good for the #ShittyCameraChallenge though.

To close out the year, here’s a couple more from earlier in December on the Sony 828, since I’m waiting for film to be developed and the jury’s still out on my new camera (one vote for shitty and one vote for not shitty, to my surprise)

An apartment house with red facade and brown shutters against a blue sky and white buildings to either side

A park view on a sunny day with bare trees and a path curving down the left side. The shadows of some trees cross the path

A faded blue shed with a small red and white sign on it next to a paved path

I keep forgetting to post #ShittyCameraChallenge photos so here’s a couple before it happens again

A white apartment building with blue and white balconies that almost match the sky

A blue and white balcony in the sun with an interesting pattern of shadows from the roof above it

#ShittyCameraChallenge folks, does this count? It’s not the camera I went to the camera shop to look at but it’s the one I bought. 10 megapixels, Panasonic LX7, no viewfinder, fixed back screen

A Panasonic LUMIX compact camera with a lens cap tethered to it

Finished a roll of film on the Ektar H35 today for the #ShittyCameraChallenge Can’t wait to see how they came out. It’ll also be our (my husband’s and my) first foray in home-scanning our film

I probably shouldn’t post all 40-odd photos I liked from the last two days with the Sony 828… #ShittyCameraChallenge

I finally got out to take some #shittycamerachallenge photos today! Here are my two cameras for it, a Sony F828 with a faulty viewfinder and a Kodak Ektar H35 (focus free analog camera, half frame). I’ll try to get some of the digital photos up tomorrow but the film ones will have to wait, of course
