In love with my wife, photography and a writer of bad haiku :artcamblk2: Profile photo: me, an Asian man in a navy blue polo top and jeans, in a rural landscape. Banner photo: a field of grain on a strip of photographic film with sprocket holes, in cool blue colour tones.

Revealed to my wife that a big part of my childhood was spent watching the terrifying Australian children’s TV show, Banana in Pyjamas (not Pajamas), I feel like I can blame all my trauma on it

Good morning from chilly wintertime South Africa!

What creative projects are you up to this weekend?

Billthoo,

@Curator went on a photowalk for sunrise. Have a stack of negatives to scan. And I still need to process the stereo photo scans into stereo images. In between work… 😬

Alright y'all

I wasn't as present as I had hoped to be during my takeover here at Curator, but I am glad to see so many ppl enthusiastic about photography and film. Thanks for participating and your replies!

Maybe when I get another prompt idea, your OG Curator will let me post on here again.

For now, I am going back to my @ArtistMarciaX account, see you there maybe :p :bowie_stardust: :frida_y_animalitos: :louis_toots_too: :35mmpride2:

Curator, to photography

A photographer that I enjoy and am inspired by is Andreas Gursky

Especially these images of the grocery stores or the architectural photographs.

Billthoo,

@Curator I’ve been heavily influenced by Peter Eastway, who isn’t afraid of making his landscapes photographs meet his vision. I love the pure romance and light of Fan Ho’s HK photographs. My first photobook was by Art Wolfe and this is a large reason why I photograph today. There are also a heap from socials. @ShittyCameraChallenge for just pushing me creatively, @apkeedle and @ChadHillPhotos for trichromes, @kimmiechem2 and @klizana for panos. Many more.

It turns out a mixed Unicolor C-41 kit does have a finite shelf life. The chemistry had held up fine for ~15 months when I last used it, but ~26 months was too much, despite being tightly sealed.

The two rolls I shot this weekend came out totally orange. I'll check to see if anything at all is visible when they dry, but they appear to be ruined.

I should have listened to that nagging voice that said it might be a bad idea. Oh well. 😐

Billthoo,

@analogfusion I’ve had that happen. I now try developing a sacrificial test roll before committing to developing with it.

Billthoo,

@analogfusion I lost 6 sheets of astro 4x5 images before I learnt mine…

I don't get the whole Eurovision thing. But I don't even follow anything similar in the US where I live, so I'm likely not in the target demographic for this sort of thing.

Billthoo,

@analogfusion you need to let all preconceptions fade and just enjoy the spectacle and sound. The variety of style and genres is wild.

New pen day 😁🖋️
I got myself a Lamy Aion so I could use the nib from my Lx again. After months of use, it became clear the Lamy triangular grip is not for me. The nib though I enjoy lot. So I got a new home for it.

A close up of a black Lamy fountain pen nib against a backdrop of lavender leaves in the sun.

Billthoo,

@allysseriordan I had to look up the LX. Is it the new name for the safari?

Billthoo,

@allysseriordan oh I see. I don’t mind the lx/safari grip. I’m not as good with small barrel pens. My hands are small but quite clumsy.

Billthoo,

@analogfusion I gather it’s an exact replica. I’ve heard others say that the wind on breaks very easily. So far so good with mine.

Billthoo,

@analogfusion I heard the same about the Reto. Makes sense if they are the same camera.
