Roll 040 (2025) / Hasselblad 500C/M
Using the new Rolleiflex has triggered an itch to shoot with the Hasselbad, so I loaded a roll of HP5 and just plinked around a bit. Many of the images were underexposed, which seems to be common with this camera for some reason. I had the lens serviced not that

Your host, in action
Our annual family reunion was held this weekend. I brought the SL2 and the Rolleiflex. My wife snapped this photo with the SL2 of me shooting the Rolleiflex. I guess this is what I look like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I haven't finished the roll that was in the camera, so

Roll 217 (Leica MP)
It's been great having the MP back from DAG. Sometimes I feel like it's too much camera ($$$-wise), but then I use it and realize it's the exactly right amount of camera.

Letting Flickr host my blog's images
Flickr is still the best place to host and share images, I don’t care what anyone else says. After migrating content from Hugo to Ghost (and back again) this past week, I’m reminded of the mess I’ve made over the years. I’m leaning toward letting Flickr
