No thoughts only instinct.

Man I smashed that block button faster than that time I bought the hardback complete history of Middle Earth when it was like 65% reduced.

A bit of late season apple picking at the project today. I ran about half of them through the chomper and the little press straight off the trees and made the murkiest sweetest chewiest juice so far. We’ll probably do it again in a few weeks time for some more.

A bottle of apple juice made from red apples picked straight off the trees this afternoon. It looks like the worst hangover piss you’ve ever had.

Instead of getting a gold disc the winners should walk away with a diagnosis.

Konica iiB-m. I hope I’m as functional when I’m 70.

Just say stop the boats and be done with it. This is taking forever.

All developed and scanned by the new darkroom space in Totnes called Contact. All turned around in 24 hours and £12.

Double exposure of clouds and a landscape? Very grainy and glitchy.

Sandy Bay off season holiday

A bearded man stood in the door of a static caravan, looking back towards the ‘lounge’ and the camera.

Two women sat at the table in a static caravan.

4 very distant silhouettes paddling in the sea. The foreground is a very sandy flat beach.

A sandy beach with distant cliffs. Atop the cliffs is a military training firing range. Which is relaxing.

I’ve just received the scans of the first film I ran through the Konica ii and they’re looking sweeeeeeet.

Wet sands and red cliffs

Paul O’Neill @paul-o.bsky.social · 11d

Just like the judgemental stickers I used to get off of the Boots lady.

Paul O’Neill @paul-o.bsky.social · 11d

And there’s a new darkroom space opened up over the road from one of my projects so we can discuss my terrible photos in person.

Paul O’Neill @paul-o.bsky.social · 11d

Also blasted through a roll of 400TX in the new (to me) Konica ii so very keen to see how they turn out.

Anyways, any shitty camera brethren out there have a cold shoe light meter recommendation?

Paul O’Neill @paul-o.bsky.social · 18d

It’s slightly mad to think this 70 year old camera that feels like it was carved out of a solid block of metal and still works a treat cost me less than a 5 pack of Portra.

Have just eaten a block of Gruyère and not sure if that means I’m living my best life or having some sort of breakdown.
