Someone on reddit asked about my journaling supplies so I thought I’d share here too!
Traveler's Notebook is my only journaling system, I started using it in 2017 and have been loving it ever since!
The 4 fountain pens shown are my current inked pens that I'm cycling through, the Sailor Pro Gear Slim is my newest baby 🥺🤧
Having both the Kodak Mini 3 Retro and Mini 2 Retro is probably unnecessary but it’s nice having options of printing my photos in either 3x3" or 2x3". The 3x3" sometimes take up a lot of space on the page, and the 2x3" is perfect for that spot on the inside cover of a TN insert. The Kodak photo paper is also less bulky than Fuji Instax films!
The Kokuyo Dotliner is super handy for sticking photos and ephemera on pages without using liquid glue or a glue stick, and I think it gives my pages a cleaner look as opposed to taping them down
The rest of my supplies are watercolours, assorted washi tape, markers/mildliners, fineliners, stickers, etc

what camera do you use for your photography? Looking to get into photography in the new year but there’s so many options!!
Hello friend! You’re right there are many options. I have many cameras (mainly antique ones I picked from thrift stores for like 10 bucks while they sat and rusted) so I rotate between only a few of them as many are in need of restoration and unfortunately only serve as decoration at this point. My cameras of choice that I shoot with are my Holga 120N, Polaroid I-type, Nikon D60, and my recently acquired Leica Sofort 2. When I first began shooting film I got a Fuji Instax Mini 8 Camera. Which was cute but transferring them into scans and blowing them up really took a toll on the resolution. Definitely a fun beginner film camera and they are no where near as expensive as they use to cost when they were first released to the market (I believe they are approximately $30.00 if you are buying used.) My Nikon D60 is a digital camera (18-55mm) from 2009 I believe. You can find them second hand for roughly $100.00. The Leica Sofort 2 is the most expensive option out of my list and it is a digital camera with the ability to shoot and print film. The dimensions of the film are similar to the Fuji Instax Mini 8 but the clarity of the photos are more defined; with the capability to export photos to your cellphone, edit within the Lightroom in the Leica app, and export photos from your cellphone camera to the Leica printer.
Also if I don’t have a camera on my person but I see something I really want to shoot I still use my IPhone 12! I have no shame in admitting I’m a “iPhone photographer” film is expensive and not all of us have the time or expenses to replace and upkeep that sort of hobby! And this is coming from an avid film lover. There are many apps out there where you can edit cellphone photography! :) disposable cameras are also a very fun avenue for me! Unfortunately, if you want to keep your negatives you will have to ship your film off to be developed. But if not your local pharmacy like CVS and Walgreens can develop and print them for you!

Nons SL660 (Post 1 of 2) My dream of having a full manual instant film camera has been with me ever since it became too expensive to buy the discontinued film for my beloved Polaroid 600SE With Instax film being readily available and relatively affordable I’ve enjoyed using a number of cameras by Fuji, Lomography & Mint but always felt frustrated at the lack of manual control. If you want to make creative interesting photographs YOU need to chose the exposure not the camera choose it. Then a company called Nons created a camera called the SL42, a fully manual SLR with interchangeable lenses that used Instax Mini instant film. Wow! This camera looked like just the thing for me… apart from one thing… I’m not a massive fan of instax mini film for anything other than fun little snap shots! Instax Square film is that much bigger and so much nicer and closer to that wonderful classic Polaroid photo only a bit smaller. If Nons bring out a version of this camera that shoots Instax Square then I’m all over it…. and they did 😀 Cont….. #nonsSL660 #analoguephotography #instantphotography #believeinfilm #retrophotography #instax #instaxsquare @nons.camera @instaxhq #hitchincreative https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch13rrNrkBG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
