Framework 16 is a nice option if you're looking at 16 in laptops!

Therapist: What do we say when we're sad?

Me: "That's Rando baby"

Therapist: No.

Some of you may know me as the stick guy...the camera was rented but it was so cool I had to buy myself one. Back from @khreconnect.bsky.social after a damn good week. Happy to see people enjoyed our work and what we've captured. I'll be streaming photo review sometime this weekend. #khreconnect

The camera team KILLED IT at @khreconnect.bsky.social and if you attended it in-person you owe it to yourself to go back and watch the VODs. It all turned out so amazing!!!

You too. Those cuts were FIRE.

Stick stick stick!

I'm not sure where I'll shoot them, but part of me regrets not having an empty camera on hand to load a rolls and take the owners photo. Maybe one of the rolls will wait in my freezer until I can take it back to Taiwan with me, and maybe I'll find this shop and shoot a photo of the owner.

So that's how I ended up with what felt like the last two rolls of Superia 400 in Taipei, which I carried back to the US, making sure they didn't get X-rayed at the airport. They now sit in my fridge.
🧵7/8

The last few rolls of Superia left had expired last November. He was not getting any more. Still unsure if the rolls were somewhat valuable to him or if he was rationing them out(they were expensive but nowhere near what you could get for them in the US), I asked him if I could buy both rolls.
🧵6/8

He's run this shop for a long time, and old empty boxes of films long gone were all over the place. He'd seen the transition from film to digital, from dedicated cameras to phones, and now was lamenting that Fuji couldn't get him enough x100vi's to keep up with demand.
🧵5/8

So I decided I'd be happy to find some rolls of Fuji Superia 400. No luck, until on my last night I walked into a camera store just before closing and saw two rolls. The owner said that people tended to buy whatever was cheap, and that was Kodak Colorplus/Gold and Fujicolor 200/400.
🧵4/8

All I could find in Taiwan reliably was Kodak Gold, Colorplus, and Fuji 200/400(the made in USA variety). A few shops had some Ilford, and a few other options, but that was about it. For a country where 2 hour photo labs still exist, I was surprised.
🧵3/8

But every camera shop I walked into told me that E6 slide had all but disappeared in Taiwan. None of the shops had any rolls of any slide film, and everyone told me there wasn't even any place to get them processed anymore.
🧵2/8

The last two rolls.

Last month, I was in Taiwan for about a week to visit family. There are many small camera shops still. I set out to find a few rolls of Fuji Velvia, as it's all but impossible to get in the US without paying exorbitant prices.

Went to Taiwan. Taiwan McDonald's still have corn soup. We need this in the US.
