I shoot with an olympus mju ii and even though it’s an expensive, impossible to repair camera (I’ve had to replace mine once already) I love this little point and shoot. it’s great for fun film pics but also capable of really stunning portrait work of my friends :)

Sorry, I've never really used film point and shoots, except for the Olympus XA1. I would die for the XA line of cameras.

Found mine in a stall at an electronics arcade in the Akihabara neighborhood in Tokyo last year. It’s been a delight figuring out how to use it and what kind of film it likes (Fuji film came out peachy as hell!). And in taking it to get repaired when the slide screencover broke, I had to find one of the last remaining camera repair guys in Chicago. Nothing like a piece of old tech to keep you on your toes!

one day i was on the work computer and i wanted to find more Fruits Magazines and came across dozens of pdfs on are.na!!! it's catered towards design and architecture students it's the loveliest tool as a casual internet user. it's self financed with premiums (no ads) plus it's minimalistic and easy to use - it organizes pictures, websites, and pdfs into these sections called channels. there is no algorithm it's purely based on hunter and gatherer vibes i started using it recently and have found countless channels of historical zines, 90s/2000s perfume ads, bare bone websites built with just html, old blogs, and so much more. i think perfectly imperfect and are.na are proof that the internet is well and alive!
just attached one of the channels i follow it's a collection of vintage Japanese advertisements and graphics :*)

weird as in cool and eclectic and niche
i follow an artist who works with mold, a guy who does art on Desmos, an old guy who makes milkshakes, a collector of Japanese photography, a ginger guy whose name i can't remember but they're super into ancient languages and translation, a number of fashion archivists and fibre artists, and more
