Good 'ol Car Camping
We knew we were gonna have a good time when the attendee told us to keep the paddle boat overnight.

Late night boating equaled two cameras submerged. Totally worth it though, great weekend.

tabled next to these rad gals, and no cash comics. Great company over the weekend

Amy, from 1984 printing, who printed our zine, was there and had a sample copy of Issue #1 at her booth!

Ended the weekend, donating a copy of issue #1 to the reading room. All around great event. See you next year!
Mare Island Lunch Break
Having a job on Mare Island makes for fun lunch breaks. I am using a mamiya 7ii and have really been enjoying the quiet click of film exposure. I shot expired Fuji Velvia 50. More to come soon. I use Light Waves for processing and recommend them for medium format film processing.

Got around to some photos that I took this summer. Sonoma Fourth, San Francisco business, and Hawaii. Here ya go.

BIT BY ZEUS ISSUE #1—Revisit
It has been almost a decade since we learned about the now demolished Skaggs island. The once thriving naval base, is now a flattened landscape, which will soon be flooded and returned to its natural wetland state. We recently went to pay our last respects to such an inspirational spot.
Check out our shop to own the last documented account of Skaggs in all its decaying glory.
Richmond hills polaroids
A few polaroids I snapped this weekend in the Richmond hills with my semi-functional sx-70 camera I bought at a garage sale a few years back. I hope to do a lot more projects with it.
Nooworks
I checked out an opening at nooworks gallery on valencia last saturday featuring works by Audrey Erickson, Hannah Stouffer, Kelly Tunstall, Jay Howell, Nate Hooper and Ferris Plock.
scored another sweet wallet also. Nooworks teams up with the artists from each show and makes limited apparel. Go check there store!
Alexander Binder—ALLERSEELEN

Mare Island Exploratory Mission
These are photos from Mare Island taken from my point-and-shoot digital camera. Lots of cool reflections and focused light. Soon after we had arrived, the Vallejo police were there to escort us out. Hoping to catch copper thieves they sent us on our way after reviewing our drivers licenses.
