Taken with the Kodak Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera. This photo of my art box was taken by catacosmosis. Taken with a Lomo’ Instant Wide Camera in multi exposure mode.
This is my first attempt at multiple exposure photos. I can tell I need more practice.
I didn’t use an instant camera for the picture. I used an iPhone11promax. Taken with an iPhone 11 ProMax. Edited with the Instants app.
QOTD: “What exactly is it that makes so many people (white men especially) think that their job is to disparage, tear down, dismiss, look for flaws, complain, and generally utter “it’ll never work” (often of course without basic knowledge of the subject or having read the article)?
It’s so reflexive and so pervasive. I mean, obviously it’s a form of self-aggrandizement at its most basic — “you are wrong and I am both right and smarter” — but why when talking about the most urgent problems of our time are so many people committed to saying they’re insoluble, inevitable, or the solutions are going to fail?
As you know, it’s everywhere.” ~ Rebecca Solnit

Pictures of pictures. The second series of photos for #The100DayProject. These were taken with a Kodak Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera.
My awesome sister. She has taken care of me since I’ve been sick. She and her husband picked me up from WHQ where I lay dying and brought me to their home and medical care. When chemotherapy caused sores in my mouth. I was given “magic” mouthwash. It works well numbing the pain and helping to heal the sores. Me and my shadow out for a walk. I’m slowly building up my strength by walking a little more each day. Aren’t these lovely roses? They were part of my sister’s Valentine’s Day.
Here I am. I’ll never be cured but I have improved over the last year.
QOTD: “There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,” he ruminated, “trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.” ~ Aldous Huxley

My project revolves around instant cameras. I want to learn how to creatively use these cameras. First I’ll take some practice photos with each camera.
The Kodak Printomatic produces business card size photos. They can be sticky on the back or not sticky. I plan to use this camera to make photos for my journal. This camera will also print photos from an iPhone. This is the KODAK Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera. It produces 3”x3” photos. As well as taking photos, this camera can print iPhone photos via Bluetooth.
Lastly is the largest and most complicated instant camera. It also has the most capability. It is the the Lomo’Instant Wide camera. I’m intrigued by its multi exposure option.
QOTD: “Who do you want to become between now and January 2024? Where do you want to go and what do you want to do?” ~ Rob Brezsny
I’ll go first. Who do I want to become? Nobody. I spent years becoming somebody. Now that Terminus has entered the picture I’m practicing letting go of things and roles in preparation for my departure from this spacesuit. I am not this body. Where do I want to go? San Francisco to be near my son and his family. What do I want to do? Walk 10,000 steps again.

Like most coffee tables in my life this one supplies a wide assortment of reading material.

QOTD: “Do not be daunted by the insurmountability of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it.” — The Talmud

When I went places with my grandfather, he always stopped on the way back and got us both a strawberry malt. He seemed to know where all the best malt places were. I have a difficult time finding a malt shop these days.
His wife always fed me bananas. Anytime I eat a banana she comes to mind. She would make banana sandwiches. They were banana and Mayo or banana and creamy peanut butter. I recently made one for myself. It was good.
While grocery shopping I saw a bag of mini GooGoo Clusters. My grandfather on my dad’s side liked GooGoo Clusters. He liked Red Skeleton and Laurence Welk. He drove Studebaker cars until he could not buy them any longer. He was a very hard working man with big gnarly, arthritic hands. He always smelled like Ben Gay.
QOTD: “I see that the life of this place is always emerging beyond expectation or prediction or typicality, that it is unique, given to the world minute by minute, only once, never to be repeated. And this is when I see that this life is a miracle, absolutely worth having, absolutely worth saving. We are alive within mystery, by miracle.”
~ Wendell Berry, “Life is a Miracle: An Essay Against Modern Superstition”

I love this quote. I think change helps keeps me alive. Staying mentally and physically flexible is a good thing.
QOTD: “Irregularity and unpredictability are important features of health. On the other hand, decreased variability and accentuated periodicities are associated with disease. Healthy systems don’t want homeostasis. They want chaos.”— John R. Van Eenwyk, “The Chaotic Dynamics of Everyday Life”
