Any affordable home printer is going to break and probably not be that great at printing anyway. (Maybe someone will contradict me here)
Instead, I’ve used the Shutterfly app where you can get 4x4 and 4x6 prints for “free” - the shipping isn’t free. I’m sure there are others like it, and I bet Costco has something, too.
Just for fun, a Fuji Mini Link prints photos on mini instant film (like a Polaroid). There’s the cost of instant film $0.60-$1 probably), but I enjoy having them.

It’s the only way to save any money in my experience. As an aside; recently got an Instax Mini and the film is much cheaper and more reliable than anything polaroid is producing these days, would recommend if ur not married to the large format

china's cooking on these, it's like film but every shot costs like 4 cents instead of like 2 dollars. you can even buy sticker paper for it

Just started to buy one per race I’m running. It’s a nice way to get into film without having to buy a film camera. It is also way less risky; I don’t like bringing my nice film camera out on a run or hike, these are disposable and (almost) indestructible.
There’s also so much delayed gratification in knowing you have no idea what the photos will look like until they develop. It’s a fun little surprise.

I’m not sure why, I guess things ending are sad. Here’s a self portrait I made in charcoal. The proportions are wonky but it kinda looks like me!

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
