 “Kodak Charmera” Cedar Park, 2026

Mariko gifted me a new camera today! It is a tiny Kodak Charmera digital camera, and I love it already.

The camera produces really lo-res images, and you can apply different filters and frames, which makes shooting with it a lot of fun. It takes photos, records video, and somehow also manages to be a keychain at the same time.

Not only is it adorable, but it feels like the kind of camera you can carry everywhere without even thinking about it. How cool is that?

 “Film Stuff” Cedar Park, 2025

I pulled out a bunch of my old film gear, thinking I’d finally donate or sell it. Of course, I haven’t actually done that yet, so now it’s all just hanging out on my desk like a little museum of procrastination. Maybe I should just tuck it all away… until the next “decluttering” mood hits.

Happy Camera Day!

 “Fujifilm and Minolta” Cedar Park, 2025

Today is National Camera Day! By coincidence, I had already gathered a few of my old film cameras to do some decluttering. In the photo above, you can see my current Fujifilm X-E4 sitting next to my Minolta Alpha 507si. I really enjoy using both of them. There’s still a roll of film loaded in the Minolta, so I’m planning to finish it and find out what’s on it. Always fun to see what surprises a forgotten roll might hold!
