Gettysburg Road I'm not sure why, but empty landscapes that stretch out for miles and meet the mountains or the sky have always filled me with a sense of unease. Fujifilm XT-4 Anamorphic #photography #landscape #sunset

BTS photos of my first ever studio shoot (in which I used medium format B&W film, peep the Mamiya 645 in the lower left of photo 1) These were taken on Fujifilm Neopan Acros II in my Pentax LX #monochrome #photography #filmphotography #photoshoot

Muscle Bar I had accidentally stumbled into a muscle bar, and noticed after I was the only one who wasn't a mid-40s Japanese woman. The guys were nice though and hung out for a while talking about the gym. Shot on my XT-4 #photography #streetphotography

"Handloading your own ammo is like developing your own film at home except if you mess it up you blow your hand off" and other hungover wisdom. Here's another sunset photo, shot on my XT-4

Off topic, but I was reminded of THIS abomination the other day. Now THIS is brainrot.

An anamorphic shot of traffic, taken from the bus stop. Color grading is my passion, clearly. Shot on my Fujifilm XT-4 #photography

Hackneyed photo of a gas station at night, because are you really a male photographer on the internet until you've done one? Shot on my XT-4

The more you watch Star Wars 77, the more you realize that everything that came after it in terms of movie releases was very hastily tacked on, and feels like it's almost in a different universe, both in a good and bad way.

Probably my last batch of military photos, since I'll be getting out soon. These are from my recent shooting match where I placed bronze. Kodak Ultramax and Ilford XP2 in my Nikon F50D #photography #filmphotography

Tldr Fujifilm saw the writing on the wall with the dawn of the digital age, and they diversified into cosmetics, converting a lot of their film labs into cosmetics labs, and positioning Astalift as a premium product. From Astia to Astalift.

Are you really a Fujifilm fan until you get the Fujifilm skincare brand? 💅 Asked one of my friends what she wanted for Christmas and she asked for some Astalift. This is some premium stuff. #photography #skincare #cosmetics #fujifilm

Medium format Fujichrome Provia 100F test shot The film makes my friends skin color look weirdly purple, but I think that's just kind of how Provia is. Shot in my Mamiya 645 #photography #filmphotography

Last order. This is a Sentimental one from me. You can enjoy the photos, or you can stay for frame 4. I was almost always the only American in that place, and it was because I had discovered it by accident Kodak Portra 800 in my Mamiya 645 #photography #filmphotography #believeinfilm #okinawa

Yeahh it probably is. A lot of the same characteristics as Ultramax and Fuji 400. Makes sense since it's most likely OEMd by Kodak. It's cheaper than Ultramax or Fuji 400 at my local store though, so that's good. Shot in my Pentax LX #film #filmreview #photography #filmphotography

Gonna try this out. Time will tell if it's just repackaged Ultramax. #photography #filmphotography
