I turned of synching some time ago but should probably check if it was turned back on with recent upgrades. They want all those images for Ai use 🤷

Pirate radio, high school radio & low budget stations. They were the best

Thanks! 213 to be exact, but who's counting 😉

That’s why I’m giving it a go. I took a darkroom class this spring & totally enjoyed it

Steve Brokaw @stevebrokaw.bsky.social · 1d

These are sweet. More cat pictures please

Last pc of equipment needed for my in home darkroom. I bought a Paterson safelight at full price from @robertscamera.com because I wanted one I knew would work. Everything else has been gifted or bought on the cheap. I’ll start putting the darkroom together next week. LFG!

I lived in Calgary & saw them a few times but the Mrs hasn’t

I was listening to a tech podcast today & they mentioned MTV when it was just sweet music videos. The youngs don’t appreciate the awesomeness of being able to watch music come alive on video. I still remember getting together with friends to watch the premier of MJ’s Thriller. Good times

I should try that in Chicago. Take a ride on the elevated train & see what I can get

Yes a bit “beefier” and wider. Not unpleasant

So right now my favorite is D-76 1+1. It tends to give me good, consistent results. I particularly like it for films that are not extremely contrasty. I’m recently been using Df96 monobath with success. I keep Rodinal as a backup catch-all

Very cool
