A Girl’s Best Friend It's #PolaroidWeek on Flickr. I decided for this one to revisit something I did for the #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret event a couple of months ago about shapes I've twisted that slightly by shooting only shapes I've constructed. #BelieveInFilm https://t.co/tZLYbFdWXi

Great windup of the recent #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret event for Analog Forever magazine. If you didn’t take part and were wondering WTF all those Polaroids I posted were about, this is a great explanation. Thanks, @NinianeK for including one of my shots in the gallery. https://twitter.com/NinianeK/status/1579504529531248641

Last Day part 2 This is the future of pack film. I shot this on OneInstant B&W Type 100. When the film is available, it’s $16+ per shot. I don’t know if that’s sustainable. It definitely limits the audience. @ShittyChallenge #InstantRegret #ShittyCameraChallenge #BelieveInFilm https://t.co/tzj1g39MPw

Skeletons Another #Polaroid dry transfer image for the @ShittyChallenge #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret thing. This is some of the decorations on a pirate bar near the Belford fishery. It’s private, only for the fishermen, and it’s awesome in its garishness. #FilmIsNotDead https://t.co/R1bLVJj93Z

Polaroid dry transfers for @ShittyChallenge #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret requires 669 peel apart film, which hasn’t been around for 14 years. It’s not what it used to be, but it’s still worthwhile. Some worked (image 1), but even the ones that didn’t are fun (image 2) https://t.co/Mv1wBOn8vV

Getting ready to go out tomorrow morning before work and try some Polaroid dry transfers for the @ShittyChallenge #ShittyCameraChallenge #InstantRegret shindig. Hoping I didn’t wait too long, but judging by how my 100 Chocolate did after 14 years in the fridge it’ll be okay. https://t.co/qnZPJQXmoA

2 yrs ago, there was a Kickstarter for a thermal printer-based camera, the Alulu Receipt Camera that printed on receipt paper. https://alulucamera.com/ I backed it, but it didn’t succeed. When I saw posts by @klizana to the #ShittyCameraChallenge of similar prints, I had to get 1 https://t.co/3YfnJFABRN

Food Market If you’re not shooting with an original Great Wall Diana, maybe your photos for the #ShittyCameraChallenge will be insufficiently shitty. Not a problem for this, which evidences all the characteristics of this shittiest of cameras. #GetMono #Film #FilmPhotography https://t.co/PPehdqS2ve
