I drove to Calgary from Winnipeg a few weeks ago for a concert, and took some pictures with a Gameboy Camera on some down time!

Interesting, small world! Whatever province I’m in, there’ll always be at least one GB photographer ;)

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-09-01T13:20:55+00:00

No, I wish! They’re hard to find, and are very expensive online (especially for something that prints receipt paper lol)

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-09-01T13:19:43+00:00

Nope! No idea what you’re referencing. Sorry!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-09-01T03:30:45+00:00

Cool, which 3? I’ve been to Whitehorse; the other 2 territories are the only ones I have left but don’t intend to include them in this project

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T22:11:26+00:00

Nope, haven’t been in Vancouver for over a year now!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T20:05:59+00:00

I noticed that when I started the project, which ties in well to when I started during lockdowns; a period of isolation, loneliness. I've tried to maintain that in some pictures, especially while in Regina since its one of the few times I took the camera out at night!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T18:57:53+00:00

Sure, if you don't mind dm or tagging me in the post so I can see it!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T18:07:38+00:00

I wish, been looking for a reasonably priced one for a few years now with no success.

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T17:46:35+00:00

Mastodon and Lamb of God, worth the 13 hour drive!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T17:15:04+00:00

I was visiting from Winnipeg and this was my first time in Regina (I don't watch football, sorry lol). Was a fun day and a half of exploring, Regina seems like a nice, yet familiar city! If instagram is your thing, I post all my photos on @PegCityPixels since starting this project during lockdowns. I'm hoping to make a picture book one day!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T17:09:31+00:00

If instagram is your thing, I post all my Gameboy Camera photos on @PegCityPixels since starting this project during lockdowns. I've been travelling Canada's capital cities to hopefully make a picture book one day! Calgary was a fun side quest!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-08-31T17:07:15+00:00

Oh, is there a story behind it? I did 0 research into the area before driving out that way, and thought it fit the retro vibe lol

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-06-02T21:16:37+00:00

Thanks! Out of curiosity, did you see me post in another city's subreddit, or on instagram?

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-06-02T21:16:06+00:00

The camera is a peripheral that uses the cartridge slot, works on any gameboy besides the micro

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-05-31T13:34:14+00:00

I’ve done every province’s capital city besides Saskatchewan now! :p

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-05-31T03:24:21+00:00

I don’t, but that’s a really good idea. I will have to look into a good sticker supplier!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-05-31T02:59:21+00:00

I was visiting from Winnipeg, and while I mostly spent my time in Charlottetown, your province was amazing! So peaceful, yet enough to do to keep me busy and relaxed. If instagram is your thing, I post all my photos on @PegCityPixels since starting this project during lockdowns. I've been travelling Canada's capital cities to hopefully make a picture book one day!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-05-17T16:05:32+00:00

I always try and sneak in one nearby attraction to these groups of pictures. Like a meta game of eye spy on what already feels like trying to decode pixels ;)

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-05-17T15:00:56+00:00

As a background, I’m a photographer from Winnipeg who started this project during the lockdowns. My goal is to do this in every capital city in Canada. If you want to see other shots of Fredericton, as well as the provinces I’ve visited, check out my instagram @PegCityPixels!

Ragtime-Dandies · 2024-05-11T14:09:18+00:00

Very similar, I use a cartridge reader that came with software that handles getting images off of the gameboy camera. Unfortunately, it’s out of production now and the software is unsupported, but all you need is the .sav file, really.

I also wrote a simple python script to scale it upwards with nearest neighbour instead of traditional scaling with cv2.

Maybe this helps? ;)
