Just ordered this Soviet era ZENIT-C camera for the Crappy Commie Camera Party in June.

The best part is it’s coming from Ukraine. Doing a small part to support the country since our coward president betrayed Ukraine on behalf of Putin.

Thirty year old film in a 50 year old camera. What could go wrong?

Since all the cool kids are shooting film again I dug out my remaining OG cameras to give it a go.

My brother landing a Deschutes River redside trout in January near Maupin. Blistering cold and windy day. I think between the two of us we landed three trout.

Early morning fly fishing on the Middle Fork Santiam River, Oregon. Took this as the early morning fog was starting to lift.

A Great Golden Digger Wasp on a Yellow Sage flower near Frenchglen, Oregon in the southeastern part of the state. I took this in mid-September a few years ago while looking for a wild horse herd. #greatgoldendiggerwasp #oregon #steensmountain #wildlifephotography #invertebrates #frenchglen

This video was made with ChatGPT SORA using the simple prompt "people whitewater rafting." Tem Polor’s AI ID it as a rafting video and generated a custom music track. I added river sound effect from Epidemic Sound. The whole process took 10 minutes! How long before AI creates full feature films?
