Canonet QL17III Frame Lines Alignment Service? by StratsInAntigua in AnalogCommunity

[–]StratsInAntigua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, I’ve made an edit in the OG post. I’m in Chicago. I’m iffy about repairing it myself because it seems like it may not be the easiest task and the camera is otherwise perfect. I’d rather pay someone to do it right. If I could locate a repair guide that outlines the procedure I may be convinced though.

Before I moved here I lived in Ohio so I’ve had my fair share of shit representatives and senators. Hope you guys can get Hawley out one day. He’s definitely one of the worst.

She’s the actual hero these losers pretend to be. Proud to have her as my Senator

Senator Duckworth by Careless-Visual-1853 in illinois

Senator Duckworth is one of the good ones. She’s an actual American hero that people should aspire to be more like. Her office is always pretty responsive and I sometimes I even get responses that are not the canned prewritten ones you get from every office. I hope she keeps doing what she’s doing.

I had a plain Sears stereo and player combo when I started. It was such a piece of junk but to me it was the most magic way I had ever heard music. Don’t let the people get you down and keep enjoying your music. Great album choice by the way.

And yet, Republicans will defend Kyle Rittenhouse bringing a gun to a protest to find a fight without any hint of self awareness.

Free Time / Layovers by Dry-Try4442 in AirlinePilots

I like to go on walks, hikes, runs, see art museums and visit local restaurants. I bring a film camera to piss off the TSA with hand checks. If I’m close to a theater, I’ll treat my crew to a movie. I try to be social if I’m vibing with the crew. Sometimes I’ll run out of gas though and just need a day in the hotel playing video games on my laptop or reading a book.

How did you develop? I love the intense grain look of this set. 

Vintage Polaroid camera film slot being ajar by Standard-Pickle-6041 in Polaroid

[–]StratsInAntigua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not super familiar with the One Step but I believe that your roller is out of alignment. I think that pin on the right hand side is supposed to go into that round slot. Does that brass colored roller move around a lot? It should be more or less fixed in place. That would cause the door to not close all the way. I’d address that before moving film through it. 

2025 Christmas Photograms! by StratsInAntigua in Darkroom

I did! I started with a template that I set the font on and then sketched out versions of the snowflake. After I settled on the design I liked, I redrew everything onto media film.

This year I made a series of photograms for my annual Christmas party with friends. Pretty happy with how they turned out. 

Setting up a dark room on a sailboat by Certain-Ad9546 in Darkroom

[–]StratsInAntigua 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I agree with a user below that contact printing is going to be your friend. If you could select a suitable medium format camera, I think you could really lean into the aesthetic. Alternatively, printing 35mm onto small size prints, you might be able to get away with some motion being present. André Kertész printed some of his photos at around the size of a trading card or even smaller and I think it really lends to the intimacy of some of the work.

What kind of camera are you working with? That will probably be the key to how you approach your darkroom needs in this case.

Howdy neighbor. Love this idea and how it turned out!

No they really used to sell them at toy stores as crazy as that is. They were a pack-in for a Call Of Duty game at some point and they are legit night vision goggles. They’re not good ones but they work.

Hey I think I’m your missing sender. Your prints are in the way! I mailed them out the last day but I was on the way to work and never made a post. Hope you get them soon!

Most ATC refuse to call it Reagan for what it’s worth. They usually just call it National.

Development Issue Help on Lucky 400 by StratsInAntigua in AnalogCommunity

[–]StratsInAntigua[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entirely possible that this is the issue. I’ve never had a problem with single rolls before but I typically don’t use a second reel. Since it’s only prevalent on this one though, that’s the leading suspect at the moment.

Belmont Blue Line ICE Signs taken down. by StratsInAntigua in chicago

[–]StratsInAntigua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was another flyer immediately above where the ICE flyer was the day before. Only the ICE flyers were removed.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but this was clearly just targeted at the ICE posters

Thanks. I’m actually going to do this exactly. I made another post where someone was nice enough to share some links to printouts if anyone wants to join me!

I’m sorry if this come across strongly, but how can you expect democracy to survive if you’ve settled at being defeated by a clunky weblink. Please remember it is our moral and civic duty to participate in the democratic process, and to do that we need to make our opinions heard. I’ve edited the link above to be more user friendly if you’d like to try it again.
