Goldie has been fed. Has he eaten it? No. He has turned down tinned food, chicken, and even a slice of bacon offered in desperation. Orange triangles only.

An orange cat sits on the arm of a green recliner. He's looking straight at the camera. His left ear is all crumpled from a problem he had as a kitten. It's amazing he's as fat as he is when the only thing he eats are the orange triangles out of his kibble. He's probably got a second family feeding him nothing but cake or something.

This is Freeloader. He likes the idea of pets, but does not want to be petted ever. Not even once.

A photo of a white cat with grey cow spots. The cat is loafed in the middle of the road. He looks annoyed, probably because I looked at him. My god, is this cat fat.

This is Miss Priss. She has zero survival instinct. Here she is sleeping on a rug on the porch. At least it's safer than her usual spot, in the middle of the driveway.

A small grey cat with white mittens sleeps on a blue rug. The rug is shaded, but the street behind is brightly lit. The cat is in a deep slumber, unaware of everyone clomp-stomping around trying to get shit done.

This is Goldie. He is an exceptionally picky eater. He hasn't eaten all morning, because he has run out of his preferred food. His human cooked him some chicken for breakfast, but Goldie refused to have any of that nonsense. He must only eat the finest orange triangles in existence. #cats

A ginger cat, sat backlit on a sofa. He is giving a sideways look to the photographer. He cannot believe the service in this place, and now on top of everything else he's being papped.

My favourite bus stop in Portland. Behind Union Station, for the coach to Woodburn.

Photo of a collection of empty lots. Traffic cones are scattered everywhere. The foreground is shaded by a raised section of road, while Portland's very silly skyline stands in the distant sun. It's all very industrial, but also strangely calm.

Today, I find Watson stuffing his face after falling off a leaf, while Kumar shits all over the glass. #shittyphotosofsnails

A shitty photo of my snails in a rainforest-themed vivarium. The glass is smudged up from having recently been misted. It badly needs to be cleaned, but a snail is in the way and I don't want to bother him. The whole thing is bright red, because my phone's camera sensor loses its fucking mind about the grow lights. In the bottom left quadrant, is a large food dish. A yellow-ish snail sits outside, with its face straight down into the greul. In the upper right quadrant is a brown snail, stuck to the glass of the vivarium. One can barely make out dark trail of poo coming out of it.

I have a lot of coats/jackets, and it's the time of year I put one on and find all sorts of treasures. Tonight, I found a box of Finnish liquorice, a panic whistle, the red vape I've been looking for, a tiny little drink cup, some spare change, a joint crutch, and a box worth of used matches.

The mentioned items in the post, laid out on a felt Star Wars blankets. The liquorice is labelled 'Salmiakki,' and is heavily salted. The vape somehow still has a charge.

Kumar has not been settling in well. I had to rescue him from falling, after he glued himself to the glass in the hottest spot in the tank. I put him in his food in the cool side of the tank, but he moved right into the path in everyone's way and stayed there all day.

A terrarium lit with red light. There's a small dish on the ground, filled with mushrooms, dried veggies, and bee pollen. There's a small stick above it, running across the frame. It's a main trail for bugs moving between the warm and cool sides of the tank. Kumar, a brown garden snail, is stuck to the stick, directly above the food dish. A large isopod is investigating this obstruction on his path.

The same terrarium. Kumar the snail has moved so that he's even more in the way of the food. Several isopods and a bunch of springtails are travelling along the stick. Kumar has stretched himself around the branch, so his eyes are visible popping up from behind, as if he's giving the stink eye to the bugs daring to use the path that has been provided for them.

Took Watson out for a bit. I'd like to get them used to handling, but so far Watson seems pretty comfortable with it already

I'm holding a small snail on the back of my fingers.

The same snail, a few moments later. He's travelled over a to the next two fingers

Lewis (Mark Corrigan's Nervous Breakdown) @lewiswhatshisname.com · 22/08/2026

Kumar has fucked off into the jungle to hide like a sensible creature. Watson did a single lap around the cup they came in, and then glued himself to the top again and went to sleep.

I'd like it if the trees around here were actually that colour. #Photography Ricoh KR-5 Super II Lomo Purple

A shot of a masonry building beside an empty street. The windows reflect an almost acid-green sky, while the trees and bricks are all various shades of pink and purple. No sign of curses here either.

Another roll of Lomo Purple that never got scanned because every time I tried it looked like dogshit. I can't wait to get to those Metropolis rolls I decided I hated, because these funky film stocks finally make sense with a flatbed. Ricoh KR-5 Super II

A photograph of an empty Mountain Dew can in some scrubby, over-grown grass. The colours are all wrong. The can is purple and dark teal, and all the grass is sort of pinky and purple as well. It's a false-colour film stock that makes the colours look real, rather than having a photoshop filter put over it. It is a totally un-cursed photo otherwise.

Here's a photo from the time I decided to let some guy beat the shit out of my shin for over an hour. #photography Ektar H35n Cinestill 400D

A deceptively dark photo, from the perspective of a person getting a tattoo on their leg. The photographer is wearing red and black bowling shoes, and is getting a jellyfish on his shin. The tattoo artist is wearing bright purple gloves, and has his scalp tattooed There's a lot of stuff going on behind him, but none of it is lit or in focus. Only what's under the bright LED panel is lit. Mostly, that means the tattoo artist, and the leg being tattooed.

It's been a while since I posted some cursed shit. Here's some from a roll I've finally managed to scan. #photography - Kodak H35 - Cinestill 50D

A photograph of quite a lot of nothing. A paper Burger King cup almost shines for how bright it is against a sea of black. In reality, it's sat against a telegraph pole, in the grass. That's not very apparent though. There's a white pipe next to the telegraph pole. Taking up the right side of the frame is a red advertising flag. The entire photo is full of dust and scratches and stuff.

A photograph of something. It's dark, grainy, full of dust and scratches, and possibly rotated 90 degrees to the right. There's a sort of holly-looking bush on the left of frame. It's in front of a wall, which is white with something resembling bricks on top. This roll is so old, I don't even remember where I was when I took the photo. It's either the outside of my house, or somewhere extremely weird.

A photo of a menu taped to a window. The menu is stained and damaged, and half looks stuck to the window by all the grime on it. Chairs and a table are visible through the window, along with a few plants. Above those, the window reflects the buildings across the street. The smudges from all the grime on the window give the reflections a look like they're dripping.

A photo of a random takeaway on the pavement. It's in an open polystyrene container. The harsh flash from the cheap camera makes it look like a torch is shined directly on the discarded food, while dark shadows haunt the edges. In the corner, the handle from one of my crutches is visible. In the dark ares, scratches and dust shine brightly.

Our guide, who I feel I have aptly characterised as Andy Samberg's character Cuckoo from the show of the same name, has reached his limit after being handed a sopping wet cigarette which is bizarrely still burning. To be fair, we are dripping in peach juice. My precious white shorts are a lost cause

My legs, and a peep of the shorts I have chosen to wear. The rainbow harlequin pattern is weirdly distorted under this light.

Before the game, some practise horseshoes were thrown. I decided I didn't want to be up on the platform for that bullshit, but I was faced with the stairs back down to where we'd parked. They're not stairs. They're nearly vertical. I cannot get down them.

The stairs in question, viewed straight on, are at an absurd angle from above. They are an ADA disaster. But we are out in the middle of nowhere, so you make do.

After getting lost in some brambles (this is foreshadowing), we found a place to park and immediately met this dog. He's called Loki.

I have been invited to a late night game of horseshoes out in some unincorporated bramble near #Portland. It's everything I'd hoped for. This is going to be an entire thread.

A photograph of a horseshoe pit in the woods. The scene is bathed in green tungsten light that fucks with my phone's sensor. These photos have not been edited, but are also not in real colour. I am not, in fact, shooting in IR.

I was out wandering the town in the dark and a bunch of bats flew out of this hotel like some kind of modern adaptation of a Victorian classic

Photo of a wide sidewalk in front of a row of crumbling art deco buildings. The ground spaces are retail. The first and second floors are apartments. The nearest shop is a pet shop. Beside it is a hotel, identified as such by an ancient, non-functioning neon light. There's a little awning thing over the front that's got a hole in it. That hole leads into an empty space in the building, where all the bats seem to have made a home.

The old Pentax broke beyond even my tolerance for such things, but don't worry. I think I've fixed it properly this time

On a lap desk, sits a Pentax MG camera. Obviously broken is the rewind knob. It's so broken as to be missing entirely.

Also broken is the shutter button. The damn thing keeps falling off. But that's why there's an open pack of JB Weld Plastic Bond, smeared in mixed epoxy, sat right next to the camera. If that button falls off again I am going to hurl the whole thing into the sun.

It turns out my math for using Cinestill 50D for long exposure night shots was not correct, but it wasn't a total disaster. I may even try again and just increase the amount of time I spend on each one. #photography #shittycamerachallenge - Holga 120WPC - Cinestill 50D

What appears to be a very wide panorama exposure. It is a panorama exposure, but closer to like, two and a half of them. The frame is entirely black, save for little pinpricks of light. If you squint, you can sort of make out what some of the blobs of light are. The traffic lights that are all three colours are my favourites, I think.

We stumbled upon this today by accident. It was kind of neat!

Photo taken from the passenger seat of a car. The road ahead curves off to the right. Along the opposite side, heading toward the camera, is a line of cyclists.

Another shot maybe a second later. The cyclists have now got close enough to have begun riding off frame to the left.

Photo in a park. Tall trees shade much of the area, while bushes in the foreground and brightly lit. In the shaded area, cyclists have camped up for a bit of a rest. They seem to be done with the day's stage, and are heading off to wherever they go mid-race.

A photo of two women standing in front of a fence. There are signs on the fence. One is 🚳. Another says 'Food' with an arrow pointing left. Beneath the arrow, only an S is visible. The third sign reads 'STP. Water. Juice.' The arrow is pointing to the right. STP in this context is Seattle to Portland. The juice was pickle juice.

I picked up another ancient old camera today. Another Autographic, which I'm highkey considering experimenting with respooling film for. This one takes size 116, so I also got a 620 conversion kit And then while I was looking around, I found a respool kit for my Pony 828. That'll make things easier

The camera in question. It's unnecessarily large for near as I can tell, no significant gain over using 120/620 film. The bellows look kind of fucked from the outside, but early testing suggests they're pretty much intact. Maybe a few pin pricks, but if I wanted perfect quality I wouldn't be looking in antique shops. It's banged up to all hell on the outside, but all of the moving parts are very smooth. I have modern cameras that stick more than this thing does.

Whoops. I forgot to curse this one. - Ricoh KR etc - Cinestill 800T

A photo of some pinkish blossoms on a twiggy tree, placed in front of a cloudless sky. The blossoms have dark, purplish splotches on the tips of the petals. I have no idea what kind of tree this is. Harsh light from the setting sun makes the petals almost unreasonably bright. The funkiness of 800T being used in daylight have made the petals look like they're kind of glowing pink. Branches and leaves cut into the photo at varying levels of focus.

Hi it's me and I'm back on my bullshit #shittycamerachallenge #believeinfilm #photography - Kodan No 2 Autographic Brownie - Cinestill 800T

A photo of a row of protestors, stood beside a (currently) empty street. There are five? of them? Maybe six? It's quite difficult to tell, because this photo is so fucked up it's ridiculous. A giant yellow smudge of light sits right in the centre of it. More takes up a considerable amount of the upper right quadrant. The camera this was shot with has a frankly obscene amount of light leak. There are scratches and holes everywhere, partially because I am bad at avoiding them, but mostly because I developed these a year ago and after I never managed to get a single image off them I chucked them on a shelf and forgot about them. If you can see through that mess, the colours are all way too purple and green. It also has a whole bunch of squiggly lines all over, from where the developer chemicals decided to froth up on me just for the lulz I guess. All of this is in addition the left and bottom edges being much darker from the majority of the image, and some staggeringly large newton rings.

This photo has all the same issues as before, except the shadow is on the right. I think this was a shadow somewhere from the sun, so it moved around depending on which direction I was facing. The colours on this shot are much more saturated, in that it's very green where it isn't bright yellow. It's also a photo of protesters, in front of a grassy park.

Same roll, same fuckery. Two more protesters, in exactly the same spot as before, but the angle has now put them in front of hedges and tall trees. If I squint I can almost read what's on their signs, but my eyes are not good enough to make anything out for certain.

You know the drill. Two more protesters. These signs are readable. The first says 'Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.' The second one says 'The best weapon against corruption is awareness. Veterans against Kings. 86-47.'

A photograph of a little red dog wearing a blue harness. It's looking up, eyes half shut and tongue sticking out. It kind of looks like it's smiling. In a break from tradition, this photo is one that doesn't look like it spent six months in a trash heap.

Meanwhile, this is what I got when I tried to scan them as a negative.

Scans of the same film. They're like, a really nasty redscale. But this was not a redscaled roll. My scanner just shat its pants at the challenge of scanning this stupid film stock.

I think I've even cracked Harman Phoenix, my sworn nemesis.

A screen shot of Epson's scanner software. I've set the scanner up for positive slides, and than have reversed the curve to make the negatively-scanned film positive for realsies. For whatever reason, the scanner has decided to bisect several frames. Probably because the base is bright fucking purple.

Lewis (Mark Corrigan's Nervous Breakdown) @lewiswhatshisname.com · 06/07/2026

Oh my god. This scanner cuts through Lomography Purple's bullshit so well. I've never been able to get decent scans off this stuff

Preview frames from a scanner. Aside from some film advance issues, the photos have actually scanned properly. They look all weird, in the way this sort of film is supposed to make things look.

I put some Shanghai GP-3 100 into an Ektar H35N, and the eight shots that did turn out are hitting all my buttons #photography #believeinfilm #shittycamerachallenge

A black and white photo of a lake. It's full of dust and scratches, and very dark and moody, but not in a deliberate way. Despite only wispy clouds in the sky, it looks sort of underexposed.

A black and white photograph of a boating dock. There's a boat in the middle distance, and sort of under-exposed hills on the far bank.

Black and white photograph of a smaller dock on the lake. There are some exposed rocks in the middle distance. Weirdly, they are completely overshadowed by a wholly unacceptable amount of scratches in the film.

Black and white photograph from the passenger seat of a van travelling down a two-lane road. The sky looks very dramatic, while nearly all of the trees alongside the road have been rendered black. The only thing that does seem properly exposed are the lines painted on the road.

A black and white photograph of four pairs of shoes hanging from power lines. The quality is appalling. Light leak, and holes everywhere, uneven exposure, grainy as hell. The top bit is under exposed while the bottom is massively over-exposed. It looks like something from a nightmare.
