This is what the Charmera sees at the worst moment of a CT scan. Comparing to the X-Ray, it's obvious why one should never ever put film through a CT machine. This looks like 1000x the radiation. #shittycamerachallenge

About half of the pixels of the Charmera sensor have been hit by X-Rays in this instant of the CT scan. This screenshot from the video is only the worst moment of radiation in the video, but the accumulated radiation from the full scan is worse still.

I met a really nice orange boy in Bozeman last night. 🧡

An orange cat has climbed a tree to about eye-level.

The orange cat rubs on my legs, looks at the camera, and says something witty, his eyes glowing from the phone flash.

I had to wait for this Aztek to visit Dollar General again during my commute to get this pic. I shot it on film initially, but pre-CLA Canon P failed to deliver. iPhone vs. the film rendition. #believeinfilm even when it fails.

An orange Pontiac Aztec is parked outside of Dollar General, with its red and orange sign.

Most of the frame is totally dark due to terribly wrong shutter timing. There’s a bit of sky at the top. Canon P, Canon 50mm f/2.4 lens, Fuji 400

Good news: I got a real actual rangefinder and I really enjoy it. The lens is amazing! Also, I adjusted the rangefinder alignment and got it just right. Bad news: the shutter caps like crazy at higher speeds, so it’s going out for CLA immediately. #believeinfilm and keep the hardware alive.
