Had a great vacation in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Drove through northern Wisconsin on the way home and rode the S.S. Badger car ferry back across Lake Michigan. Some photo highlights. Film being developed as we speak, those photos coming later!

Remember when one of Elon Musk’s rockets crashed into the moon a few weeks ago? While taking photos of the eclipse I noticed something strange and zoomed in on it… I guess they are friends again? #eclipse #trump #renovations #kennedycenter

Picked up up this early 60s brownie fiesta camera at a flea market for 5 dollars! Cleaned it up and picked up some film, then took it camping and exploring. Some great shots around Cadillac and Manistee Michigan. Rerapan iso400 film #blackandwhite #shittycamerachallenge #kodakbrownie #film

Morning all. Super creepy sunrise on my way to breakfast yesterday, and special toad visitor at the office today. Have an excellent day everyone.

These purple loosestrife are invasive in Michigan, and these ones seem to be taking that literally. #flowers #summertime

When you live in Michigan you always have a map “handy’” but in a pinch a sassafras leaf will do! #michigander #mittenstate #sassafras

Had a fun weekend trip to the middle bits of Michigan’s lower peninsula. Really cool bridge from the 1930s, the last fire tower in lower Michigan, and the Manistee lighthouse and harbor.

This is Porkchop, she only shoots film on old Kodak Brownie cameras. Color coordination is important! #weratedogs #dogs #film #kodakbrownie

A nice oak camping spoon I finished this morning. This size is my favorite, small enough for eating, big enough for cooking! #carving #spooncarving

I went to St Joseph Michigan on the Lake Michigan coast on Saturday to take some frozen lighthouse pictures. One of the coolest things I have seen I a long time. It has been so cold the lake was frozen into hills and cliffs 50 meters away for shore. #lighthouse #winter #frozen

@byharryconnolly.bsky.social sapphire dog spotted in Belleville Michigan. Please send Ray and Annalise assp! This is an art piece about 6 ft tall, but game of cages was the first thing I thought when they installed it!

Finished this 8ft long table for our deck. Made from sassafras, needs a few more coats of oil for waterproofing. Love how this came out! #woodworking

I left my mirrorless camera at home and took my 1930s brownie six 20 on vacation. Shot 2 rolls of b&w and one roll of color. Really fun experience! Shot 24 pics and got about 12 good ones. Light leakage and my inexperience ruined a few. #shittycamerachallenge

Some spooky railroad bridge pictures taken with my Kodak Brownie Six-Twenty Junior box cam from the 1930s. I forgot to put tape over the window that shows how many shots you have left, so a lot of light leakage. #shittycamera #oldcamera #kodakbrownie

After a long struggle with winter depression I am finally enjoying spoon carving again. Here is a spoon and spork in black walnut. The spoon for a friend, the spork for my camping kit. It’s big enough to cook with, but small enough for eating too!

Goldfinch and cardinal adding some spring colors at the feeder today.

Going to take some pictures of old abandoned bridge with my Brownie Six-Twenty in a bit. Can’t wait to see how they come out! Took pictures with my dslr 4 years ago.

I normally don’t like tree graffiti, but I’m giving this one my ok since the tree is dead, and it is marker instead of carved in. Also, it is pretty damn cute, and made me smile. #tree #treepower #ilovetrees

Drunk squirrel at the feeder. Sometimes they dig up some old fruit or berries in the spring and get drunk from the fermented juices! #squirrel #drunk #drunksquirrel

First spoon work in a couple months. Thanks for the help Grizzly. Does Bluesky know about Riseup and carve? Check out www.riseupandcarve.com for more info! It is a continuous zoom channel where you can log on and carve with folks from all over the world!

First camping trip of the new year. It was windy and warm Saturday, raining and cold Sunday morning. I tested my new 1 person backpacking tent, but had coffee with my brother in his hot tent Sunday morning. Venison, potatoes and asparagus on the fire for dinner

Super clear last night at 2 am, got some pictures of the lunar eclipse with my Nikon Z5. I’m struggling with focus at night, was too sleepy to grab my other glasses. Good colors, kind of blurry. #lunareclipse #bloodmoon

My dog is also named Porkchop, she is more of a breakdancer though. Maybe a broken dancer?

We did! I’m going to do some backpack camping later this year so I am starting with a light pack and short walks

I was gifted 3 brownie cameras last year, they are so much fun to play with. I got a Reflex Synchro, a Super 27, and a six-20 junior.

I wish I could post more than 4 pictures at a time here. Here are more from the Brownie Reflex Synchro #shittycamerachallenge #bwphoto #film

Kodak Brownie reflex synchro, made in the late 40s. These came out way better than the Brownie from the sixties. ISO 400 127 new film. The pics from the camera were a partly cloudy cold day in December #shittycamerachallenge #oldcamera #filmphotograpy

Shots from my Kodak Brownie super 27. This camera is from the early 1960s. It uses 127 film, and this was 400 iso new film. When I went to load it in the camera it unspooled a bit, and the film kept advancing even if no one touched the winder. Only 3 came out, but I like them! #shittycamerachallenge

One of my other hobbies is photographing old metal bridges around Michigan. This one was built in 1907, and was used until 2011.

Taken on my Kodak Brownie Six-Twenty Junior. New 620 film, 100 ISO. I had no idea what I was doing, but I just shot my 2nd roll and can’t wait to see how those came out! Tons of light leakage. #shittycamerachallenge #shittyphotochallenge

Finished this black walnut spoon with Christmas tree epoxy inset, and started a big cooking spoon/small ladle. Used my Jason Lonon push pull knife for the first time, it really saves a lot of time! #spooncarving #woodworking

Took a drive to St. Joseph and South Haven MI, on the shore of Lake Michigan. I was hoping for ice and waves, but got some fun gloomy early winter shots. Took 8 shots with my 1930’s Kodak Brownie six-20 Junior also. Can’t wait to see how those came out. #photography #lighthouse

Braved the 15f (-9c) temps this morning to get some sunrise pics. Took 10 shots on my Brownie synchro reflex, and a ton on the thermal print toy camera. It came with 3 different colors of paper! #thermalprintsquad #bwphotography Will need to wait a few weeks to see how the brownie shots came out.
