I saw two bottles of hand sanitizer behind the computers at work. The larger bottle expired in 2023. The smaller bottle of Purell: expired in September 2019. A LOT has happened since then. Does @Purell MAKE more germs AFTER it expires? 😬😄

Looking Ahead: My Intentions For 2026
About this time last year, I jotted down some intentions for 2025, ‘a few ideas of the things that I really want to do over the coming twelve months’. I did quite well with these: I resurrected a few old cameras, like the Kodak 1A and 3A folding cameras, and the Vest Pocket Kodak; I finally got to use the medium format half-frame beastie that’s the Bencini Koroll 2; and I actually used my only 127 film in the Purma Special on a 127 Day this year. I also tumbled down the rabbit hole that was the Rapid film system, which led to some great fun with colour emulsions, redscaling, and even trying some EBS photography, or exposing both sides of the emulsion, and of course I added a load more weird and wonderful cameras to my collection.
The only part of my ‘intentions’ for 2025 that I didn’t really get anywhere with was glitching; taking a perfectly good photograph in digital format and altering the data contained in it to produce a corrupted image. As a reminder, images can be glitched in a number of ways: with a Hex Editor, to alter details of individual pixels in an image; processing a digital photograph in a program not intended for editing image files; or using a script in a programming language to corrupt the file. This is known as databending, but there is also circuit bending, which either takes an image and corrupts it using a specially made image processor, or using a camera where the hardware within the camera has been physically altered so that the image saved to the card is corrupted.

The file has been databent by processing the file in the audio editing program Audacity.I already have one circuit bent camera, and also a couple of cameras with failing sensors that produce lovely glitchy images, but I’ve also recently obtained an old Digital8 video camera that I hope will allow me to use a circuit bent device called the Mismatcher Petite to corrupt digital images and videos. This year, I also picked up a scanner, the Epson Perfection v750 Pro flatbed scanner, and a little micro computer to use it with. Onto this computer I’ve loaded some of the programs and applications that I hope will aid me with databending and glitching.
The Mismatcher Petite, an image modification device the I’ll use in conjunction with the Sony Digital8 camera below.I’ve not forgotten film, of course, and although I’m not really in a position to soup and develop my own films, perhaps I can ‘glitch’ some instant film, or deliberately introduce light leaks to exposed 35mm and medium format film, for instance. Of course, there will always be new (to me) cameras to play with, and if last year is anything to go by, not all of these are light tight, and I have several rolls of expired film to use. With glitching, be it digital or film, you never quite know what result you’ll get, and that for me is what will make the coming year so exciting.

The image has been databent by processing the image in the audio editor, Audacity.If you are on Mastodon, you can now follow this blog directly.

The #Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (#CISA 2015) #expired due to the government #shutdown, leaving #USnetworks #vulnerable. The law facilitated #cyberthreat information sharing, providing legal protections for companies. The #expiration complicates sharing, aiding adversaries like #Russia and #China. https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/congress-let-a-key-cybersecurity-law-expire-this-week-leaving-us-networks-more-vulnerable-174529522.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The #Myth of #Drug #Expiration Date. #Hospitals and #pharmacies are required to toss #expired #drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the #FDA has long known that many remain #safe and potent for years longer. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-myth-of-drug-expiration-dates

Some Rapid cameras arrived today, bought just for the cassettes. Inside one of them were two cassettes. Peeking out of the cassette was a little bit of film. I think it's colour film, should I get it developed?
