Had a fun weekend trip to the middle bits of Michigan’s lower peninsula. Really cool bridge from the 1930s, the last fire tower in lower Michigan, and the Manistee lighthouse and harbor.

This is Porkchop, she only shoots film on old Kodak Brownie cameras. Color coordination is important! #weratedogs #dogs #film #kodakbrownie
A nice oak camping spoon I finished this morning. This size is my favorite, small enough for eating, big enough for cooking! #carving #spooncarving
I went to St Joseph Michigan on the Lake Michigan coast on Saturday to take some frozen lighthouse pictures. One of the coolest things I have seen I a long time. It has been so cold the lake was frozen into hills and cliffs 50 meters away for shore. #lighthouse #winter #frozen
Carved this cute little black walnut bowl for my daughter to put her rings in at night on her nightstand.
@byharryconnolly.bsky.social sapphire dog spotted in Belleville Michigan. Please send Ray and Annalise assp! This is an art piece about 6 ft tall, but game of cages was the first thing I thought when they installed it!
Finished this 8ft long table for our deck. Made from sassafras, needs a few more coats of oil for waterproofing. Love how this came out! #woodworking
I left my mirrorless camera at home and took my 1930s brownie six 20 on vacation. Shot 2 rolls of b&w and one roll of color. Really fun experience! Shot 24 pics and got about 12 good ones. Light leakage and my inexperience ruined a few. #shittycamerachallenge
Some spooky railroad bridge pictures taken with my Kodak Brownie Six-Twenty Junior box cam from the 1930s. I forgot to put tape over the window that shows how many shots you have left, so a lot of light leakage. #shittycamera #oldcamera #kodakbrownie
After a long struggle with winter depression I am finally enjoying spoon carving again. Here is a spoon and spork in black walnut. The spoon for a friend, the spork for my camping kit. It’s big enough to cook with, but small enough for eating too!
Goldfinch and cardinal adding some spring colors at the feeder today.
Going to take some pictures of old abandoned bridge with my Brownie Six-Twenty in a bit. Can’t wait to see how they come out! Took pictures with my dslr 4 years ago.
I normally don’t like tree graffiti, but I’m giving this one my ok since the tree is dead, and it is marker instead of carved in. Also, it is pretty damn cute, and made me smile. #tree #treepower #ilovetrees
Drunk squirrel at the feeder. Sometimes they dig up some old fruit or berries in the spring and get drunk from the fermented juices! #squirrel #drunk #drunksquirrel
First spoon work in a couple months. Thanks for the help Grizzly. Does Bluesky know about Riseup and carve? Check out www.riseupandcarve.com for more info! It is a continuous zoom channel where you can log on and carve with folks from all over the world!
First camping trip of the new year. It was windy and warm Saturday, raining and cold Sunday morning. I tested my new 1 person backpacking tent, but had coffee with my brother in his hot tent Sunday morning. Venison, potatoes and asparagus on the fire for dinner
Super clear last night at 2 am, got some pictures of the lunar eclipse with my Nikon Z5. I’m struggling with focus at night, was too sleepy to grab my other glasses. Good colors, kind of blurry. #lunareclipse #bloodmoon
Sunny and 54f is southern Michigan today! Nice walk with Birch and a bit of carving for me and the deck!
We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10
I wish I could post more than 4 pictures at a time here. Here are more from the Brownie Reflex Synchro #shittycamerachallenge #bwphoto #film
Kodak Brownie reflex synchro, made in the late 40s. These came out way better than the Brownie from the sixties. ISO 400 127 new film. The pics from the camera were a partly cloudy cold day in December #shittycamerachallenge #oldcamera #filmphotograpy
Shots from my Kodak Brownie super 27. This camera is from the early 1960s. It uses 127 film, and this was 400 iso new film. When I went to load it in the camera it unspooled a bit, and the film kept advancing even if no one touched the winder. Only 3 came out, but I like them! #shittycamerachallenge
