Saw a friend's band, The Proctors, at The Mash House last weekend.
Took a camera.
Finally found a use for Eterna Bleach Bypass mode...

Guitarist and singer in an Orange Juice (the band) t-shirt singing onto the mic.

Bassist strumming away with some mild Bass Face.

I'll believe (in film) it when I see it but this is a very exciting Smartflex update!

Email from Smartflex Camera saying that my camera has already been shipped. I am excited!

I got a couple of Mapplethorpe books from the library. A lot more cock than I was expecting tbh.

The bottom picture of the previous meme. The class are cheering, uproariously!

Preemptively creating this meme.

It's the 'Say the line Bart' Simpsons meme but it's'
Class: SAY THE LINE ED!
Bart: THEY CHARGE FOR PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
Class: Cheers, uproariously.

Weirdly mine involve a lot of climbing/heights but Free Solo, Touching The Void, and Man On Wire are all really good.

Dog Town And Z Boys is also fantastic.

A good haul from the library this month.

Three photography books sitting on a colourful duvet. One of Man Ray's portraits, two Robert Mapplethorpe's, a retrospective and one of his Polaroids.

I think it's better than any of the other weird Lomo films. It has its moments for sure.

(The last one is just for @laurenswillis.bsky.social - snigger)

Reflection of three photographers standing in front of a distillery. Reflected behind us is Calton Hill.

CLose up of a wall. Behind it an obelisk is visible. Right below the obelisk is some old graffiti that just has the word COCK. [snigger]

Another protest picture. Someone is walking by almost entirely hidden by their sign which reads THEY PROFIT WE BURN.

A man in sunglasses waves a Palestinian flag over the crowd.

Some protesters stand and have a chat, holding Palestinian flags. Calton Hill is visible between the buildings behind.

Eight coppers standing around below a modern building.

Some of my Lomochrome Turquoise photos from #WWHFPD25

No YOU forgot to post your pictures!

View down a covered close off the Royal Mile, Edinburgh. A car and a pedestrian pass by in the distance.

View back up the same close. One of the attendees of the photowalk sits on his mobility scooter in the distance.

View of a pro-Gaza protest. It's the back of lots of people's heads. There is a big sign saying Stop Starving GAZA.

Another view of the crowd, this time a wall fills the left side of the image. 'Free Palestine' is written on the wall.

GAS is contagious but I find that cost does affect the transmissibility.

It's a Starbug (from Red Dwarf) replica sat outside a suburban semi. As you do.

That looks really nice with the Acros. I'm going to have to raid the film freezer if I can find some Microfine.

eBay being 'helpful' here. 😁

Screenshot of eBay including results for Fujifilm microphone when I searched for Microfine...
