it's only got one problem and that's that the latch that's supposed to keep it closed doesn't work very well, like it's not broken but it's... not very strong at all, and so gives out too easily. I'll bring it to a shop on saturday to see if they can do something about it
Anyways I got a new Polaroid camera! It’s an SX-70 Sonar, in very good condition, that I got for $65 off Craigslist. It’s loaded with 600 film right now, which is wrong for it (it’s supposed to use ISO 165 film, but I couldn’t find any in 24 hours to test the camera ^)
Anyway, I love the way it looks! It feels so good, very solid and hefty and... yknow, well built. And I mean, it’s survived at least 40 years and still works, so it provably is!
Anyway, here are pictures of the camera, along with two pics I took with it
and also this polaroid of me, also from last february, at the same museum in fact

The other part looks less neat but it looks good enough to put on my wrist, and similarly it should not move anytime soon!

Actually yknow what? This looks better. Now way it’s going to move anywhere now.

the holes aren't /perfectly/ aligned, the stitching isn't /perfect/ (especially on the bottom), but I'd say it looks pretty clean overall tbh

First step of that is going well. Now I need to uh, clean the edges, burnish them, punch the holes in, maybe paint the edges, and then do the other side of the band...
leatherposting
Well, that was quick 😅
It’s not perfect, the band is slightly too thin, I stitched through the date mark cause I was a dumbass, and I made a blemish on the front because I didn’t paint cleanly enough, but it’s a good first try and the next ones will be better!
Comme je suis dans le secteur le plus sécurisé de la clinique j'ai pas de gomme.
Je gribouille au stylo.
J'ai lu des histoires de Yokai récemment
