I come here today to share with you the first leg of a project designed to enhance your shitcam user experience...

Imagine if you will...

You find your self in a "situation", it has been minutes since someone's inane pixel babble has slid through the "post reply" screen
like a burrito through a moderator's colon.
This will not stand!
You reach into your bag and point the shitcam down the street at a sportsball game.
Nope won't do, the action is staler than the bread you forgot to throw out last week.
Whirling around, the viewfinder clenched tightly against your one good eye.
You spy an English hog being devoured by men in boring outerwear.
Not today limey.
Now running towards the corner you slide into position, on your knees in the very same spot your mother met all of the guys that might be your father.
Pulling the camera to your face just as a generic classic car rolls through the intersection, like the endless parade of "uncles" that would stay the night once and never be seen by your hopeful adolescent eyes again and stop...

The frame counter blinks "0".
No more shots left on the XD card.
Your stalwart companion in this journey, through the hellish nightmare you call your life, has finally given up on you.
Just like all those girls in college that came back to your dorm room and left unsatisfied.
You tried to tell them how important Anime really was if they were going to "get" you.
They find you weeping, a bitter broken shell of a man, all because you didn't remember to clear off the shitcams card before going out.

Not anymore! Ladies and Gentlemen and Whitezombi, I give you the new and improved shitcam.

I gaffer taped a 256mb XD to the side of it. Pretty cool right?

I've now shot a couple rolls around town, and probably will shoot another on the weekend, so NEXT WEEK I want it pass it on to the next goon.

So if anyone south of Singapore wants the camera please post here! Otherwise it's off to alkanphel.

I don't have any exciting plans for the next while but I'm sure I'd regret not getting in on this DICPIX action.

Spedman, are there any neutral meeting spots you'd want to do a shifty handover? I work in Collingwood and live in Northcote but I'll take anything more specific to PMs.

Just a reminder: you don't need to be planning anything out of the ordinary or exciting or vacation-y or weird or artshowesque to give the AE-1 a shot. Any of those things are of course good photofodder, but I'm looking for a glimpse of your world, full of wonder or full of boredom (or, in the case of the digishiticam, or shitidigicam, or whatever it's called, a world full of poo poo).

I live in by some measures one of the most boring places on Earth; suburban Sydney or after-hours Helsinki or traffic gridlock in L.A. are all pretty exotic compared to here.

Photos during a handover, especially a shifty one, are very welcome!

I work in Carlton so we could do a handball of the camera in Fitzroy next week sometime. I don't have PMs so hit me up at tdjames82 at gee mail so we can keep the camera moving. Good thing being that the awesome high speed colour film that VomitOnLino put in wont be x-rayed before the next goon has a chance of shooting it.

The camera is mine!

Has this ortho film really been kicking around for a year without anyone shooting it? I'm really tempted but don't have a safelight. If nobody's really keen to shoot it I can put a roll through and see if nielsm's timings are anywhere near right, otherwise happy to leave it for someone with a proper dev setup.

I was just about to ask whether anyone had used it yet.

As long as you keep development times short and agitation low, you should be able to get a usable picture from it. Keep in mind, pouring developer in/out of the tank might be too much agitation, which is why you should lower the film into the developer.

Melbourne looks like the 80's. Is that all the camera?

I'm loving the fact that this thing has nearly made it one lap of the globe. Want to see a pic of the case and it's contents when it finally gets back to where it started.

It's probably a combination of shooting Kodak Gold and just mashing the auto adjust button in Lightroom that gives it the warm VSCO style tone, and hence 80's look.

Plus the places I tend to go haven't changed their facades in decades and have a fair amount of much loved graffiti on them.

Sorry bro this month at work has been killer. I have been working most weekends and coming to Portland on a random tuesday or some poo poo doesn't sound like much fun for you dudes with grown up jobs. I am switching to Sun-Tues day shift soon though, after that I'm free to arrange a friday night goonmeat.

Houston isn't pretty but it is interesting. We've got fields with oil wells and cows mingling together along with the best sky scrapers dirty dirty energy money can buy. So, I'm going to throw in for Houston. One day here and you can go from deep country to down town in 50 miles.

I just spent a few days in the historic district of Houston (while on a Texas trip to Austin for the F1 races) and there was some interesting stuff there. Sculptures on the side of the road, art cars, old mansions and stuff. Theres a bit of hipster overflow from Austin I would imagine since its so close and its more of a liberal area of Houston.

I've thrown in some extra film including a roll of 800T I threw in a B&H order on a lark. I'll post my photos up during the week hopefully since I had time to shoot another roll up in the country, and I should have that back on Monday.

It's currently hailing satan from the bottom of my backpack, until this holiday bs calms down and I go back to working less than five nights a week again.
