RIP Nikkormat FTN

Mar 28, 2026

As the title says, my camera is dead, the shutter no longer opens (even though I can see it winding) and the mirror does not come back down after pressing the shutter button. A skilled technician would probably be able to fix it, but I’m not sure if it’s worth repairing a $~30 USD camera that was built in the 60s and probably has not been serviced once.

For now I got an OG Nikon F as a replacement, at least I can use the lenses I already have and still meter with them.

Creating a HUGO website

Mar 22, 2026

So I decided to start posting my pictures, I might use a specialized photography social media going forward, but I wanted to learn how to use HUGO for creating a website. It is both simpler and harder than I thought.

I originally wrote this on March 22nd but I am publishing it until April 4th, configuring Nginx is a bore. I also opened a Twitter account and a straw page, they should be available in the about tab.
