The other day we had to spend the whole day at the uni in a cold, cold room so one of the guys brought mate (a traditional south american beverage) kit and a thermos (don't be fooled by the "azucar" can - there's mate in it all right) and poured everyone a couple of rounds.
Some pictures of a our I had around the Lake of Thun together with my couchsurfing guest Linkin from Vietnam. First it was sunny but later it became more cloudy. Anyway on the old Fuji Superia 100 it looks quiet dramatic. I used the Contax 167mt with different Contax Carl Zeiss leneses like the 25 mm, 85 mm, 35-70mm and 80-200 mm. They all did a great job.
Finally!!! This album took me so long... It is cross processed expired Kodak EliteChrome from my favorite BeLomo Vilia. Last sunny days of autumn and winter coming in Prague. Few pictures from Día de los muertos celebration, farmers' market with christmas trees and Prague city center.

My bed, my cameras, my printed photos, my negatives, my tank, my agenda, my books, my socks, my pillow, my hands, my little feet... Just for fun with a Fuji Superia 800 expired film roll.
Lots of notes on this one. The picture didn't really turn out, but it's instructive. (1) It was taken as a proof of concept for using Instax Wide film in an un-modified Polaroid Pathfinder 120. I just set it in the film gate and assumed that the pressure plate would keep it in place, which it did. From that point of view, it did succeed. (2)The colour temperature is way off, predictably. Instax is daylight-balanced, and the light source here was a warm white CFL. (3)The bellows still leaks - perhaps I'll give the same folks another try at repairing it before I give up on them. (4) Processing didn't completely work, but it's close. I just cut a piece of a file folder the size of a packet of Polaroid sheet film, and (in a dark bag of course) placed the exposed sheet of Instax in the middle of it - chemical pack towards the rollers - and processed it like a sheet of Polaroid in a 545i film holder. It didn't go through straight. If I just glue part of an anvelope inside my section of file folder to keep the film aligned, and pull more slowly, it'll work fine. Other possibilities for processing: You should be able to find a way to get it (from the inside) through the rollers of any Polaroid pack film camera that's big enough. You could put it back in the Instax cartridge and use a LomoInstant Wide. You could put it through the wringer of an old washing machine. You might be able to use a rolling pin. You could put it in a light-tight package, and leave it in the middle of the road to add some real randomness to the process. (5) My cataloguing scheme: The "date" of 01 Jan 2016 means that this is the second (counting from 00) item I catalogued in January. An item might be a page of four 4x5s in my large-format "books", or it might be a roll of film, or an envelope containing one or more instant photos. I stamp the number onto a file card, and use that for notes, which are sometimes very sketchy and sometimes pretty complete. For example, I know that the fourth thing I catalogued in January of 1994 was a roll of Kodak Gold 100 shot in a Praktica BCA, but I'd have to go to the corresponding shoe box to look at the prints if I wanted to know more.
