Rec'd on ⭐ POINT AND SHOOT 35MM camera SUGGESTIONS
PENTAX k1000
Beautiful camera, an absolute machine. It's a budget camera (at least in the 70s it was) so it doesn't have many special features, but that makes the basics really easy to learn since there isn't any fluff that acts as distraction.
Btw Brooklyn Film Camera is a great online store for restored film cameras - I believe they offer national shipping.

pentax k1000
you can find vintage ones for cheap since so many were made, my dad gave me his from the 70s. super simple point and shoot 35mm camera, meant to be a starter camera so it’s super easy to use

PEnTAX 67 :)
Out of all the medium format cameras I’ve worked with and owned, the GOAT as far as I’m concerned is the Pentax 67. Much easier to carry around and use than the Mamiya RB/RZ’s with exceptional build quality and durability. Stalked eBay listings for 3 years waiting for prices to drop below $700, and those years of waiting paid off in full. Prices vary from $500 to $1000, the sweet spot seems to be the $675 to $750 range on eBay.

Magical realism
Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

OPening your windows when it rains
There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.

Taping Old Postcards / Photographs Onto Your Walls
I have done this everywhere that I have lived. There are some beautiful images lost on the discarded blank face of a postcard, and they deserve to be cherished just as much as the big piece of art you have framed in your living room. You can find many for cheap at your local thrift. There’s a lot of fun to be had in grouping different images together for a collage effect. Space them out a bit more if it all feels a bit claustrophobic. Use some blue painter's tape for a pop of color.
