Processing another roll. There's a story to this one. I wanted to try taking pictures from a small boat, a folding kayak, actually. I didn't want to bring a camera with either monetary or sentimental value. So I packed up this Ansco Shur-Flash in a waterproof bag. The bag's no guarantee I wouldn't drop the thing in the water while taking a picture, but at least it'd keep it from getting splashed the rest of the time.
Functionally it's pretty much like a #KodakBrownie except it has a viewfinder instead of the "teeny TLR" arrangement of the Brownie. This is actually better for use in a boat since the whole way you use a Brownie typically, holding it at waist-level and looking down at it, would be pretty awkward.

This #BrownieJunior actually belonged to my great-grandfather once upon a time. You'll definitely be seeing more of it when it's no longer #MonochromeMarch and I know you can't wait.

I'm not the only still shooting with a #KodakBrownie. Here's a gallery from the "2026 International Brownie Camera Days". There's some great shots here: http://www.brownie-camera.com/brownie-camera-day/?page_id=1816

Some of the latest #KodakBrownie pictures, which survived my #darkroom misadventures.
This is Acme Bread, in the #FerryBuilding.

Messing around with exposure times and different filters for getting better print contrast out of multigrade paper. Made 7 prints in all (but they're just contact prints, so pretty quick work). But comparing the generic vs final tweaked version, you can really see a difference.

Some #KodakBrownie pix from my recent trip to the Central Coast.
When I took the MoW train picture, I was really thinking more in terms of railfanning than art, but the cloudy sky made it turn out pretty nice.

On the road, stopped for dinner in Soledad, and next door was this church, obviously once a movie theater.
The CinemaTreasures site has the whole story: https://cinematreasures.org/theaters/36988
But no pictures in it's current iteration, so I'll upload this one there.
I wish I'd had time to set up my #KodakBrownie to take a proper film picture, but I had kids wanting to get somewhere.
Also, it was darker than this picture looked. Pretty sure my phone did some unsolicited enhancements. No denying it came out a nice picture, though.
The restaurant is called Cocuyo's and I recommend them. Definitely good vegetarian choices for anyone looking for that.
