Misfortunes of the Living (RIP Cynthia)
A little over a year ago I started writing again, after almost a decade of giving too much credit to "friends" who either didn't understand what a first draft was, or consistently accused me of plagiarism in those times I'd find my voice by acknowledging my pain.
On August 22, 2023, a close friend whom I initially bonded over shared trauma and our thoughts on writing 18 years ago, and then later photography in our 20's, passed away.
For anyone who's "put up" with me since then, I'll never be able to properly thank you, as it does get incredibly lonely within grief when most of people simply don't have the patience for those actively suffering with grief. It especially gets alienating when people assume you're flaking on them to "wallow in your misery," when really you're struggling to sleep more than 3-4 hours, and you learn to stay silent rather than explain how you still haven't "moved on" from the guilt you feel for not being there for someone who never turned their back on you. It's not a romanticizing of pain, but an acknowledgement of what a person meant to you, doubly so as a fellow artist who struggled with self-confidence and depression... someone who, just like you, had their own hopes and dreams they'd yet to attain - now gone, never to see those things through - while you're still here, dealing with those same hurdles, with people dancing around the crux of their arguments that death isn't something to take seriously, when it's something I spent most of my 20's familiarizing myself with.
On August 22, 2024, one year later - 10 minutes shy from when Cynthia's life ended - I read a piece I'd been working on for the better part of the past year, fulfilling a promise I made in High School, writing something for her. It's still not done, but given how much it makes me cry reading it, I know it's close. This is a 3 minute clip of it.
RIP Cynthia Garcia.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Grief is a strange thing. It’s so weird, sometimes I even forget my Aunty passed away, and always think of their house as “hers”. Your words are poignant and moving in this video.
@AeromaticXD Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about your aunt as well. I can relate to the house comment, since using Cyns camera for a day was surreal.
Good to hear from you. I like Covid changed everything but people pretend everything is normal again.
Thank you for this. I wasn't expecting any comments since it has been a real long time since my last upload, but it's nice to know there are some people still keeping an eye. I'll be posting again soon, just learning how to juggle being a perfectionist with struggles in the background. Take care of yourself and your loved ones - and take lots of photos.
Hello, i’ve come here from your instant wide review and i wish you the best, i hope you are happy
‘Too much talk’ was my first impression, as a first time viewer. However, having watched the entire video I must say Manuel, you have at least as much talent to be in front of a camera, as you have behind one. 👍
Great tips, shame about the annoying muzak.
Fix CZcams copyrights and I'll get you something better
If you take photos accidentally all the time, then don't do what you did right after -- winding the advance again. WAIT to advance until you're about to take photos instead, in general.
Yes, dad
Going to Vegas in April do you recommend using iso 400?
I do liked how the photos did turned out with film it always will remind me of my childhood when my mom used to use disposable film cameras but I know the photos from a disposable film camera isn't always the highest quality but for my mom it's good enough. I do wonder if there is any expired disposable film cameras to buy and test out it would be interesting to see how those photos might turn out
For those who accidentally touch their shutter button and fire a shot, just don’t advance the film until you are ready to take the shot. The light shutter button is to have less movement when taking a shot.
Awesome video!
Was the 85A filter used for the Kodak Ektachrome 64T? And it was a C41 cross process? Or was the film developed as an E6 slide?
I’m so glad you filmed a lot with her
Wonderfull pictures from the bathroom
thanks for this man! this works wonders.
Great video! Do you mind sharing what settings you ended up settling on for the 2nd set of pictures you took? I have the same camera and I'm trying to find any info on night photos.
I think the jamming is down to the cartridges rather than the camera. My wide 210 does it sometimes too.
Shout out Anaheim
I’m surprised there aren’t more videos like this, I mainly got my Polaroid Now+ for low light photography and it’s been hit or miss mostly because a lot of it is trial and error. I did manage to get 3 that I’m pretty proud of. One was of a neon sign at a motel in South Dakota, the other was a view of the fool with the city skyline. The buildings didn’t come out too clearly but you can make out the lights and signs as well as the pool lighting. My favorite one was taken in my bedroom, an analog TV on a shelf with some VHS tapes and my GameCube very clearly illuminated by the purple Christmas lights I have strewn around my room.
Capitalism rules.
Then ya don't mind the Kodak prices. Pay up.
Thank you for this video. Did you incur any problem with the zone focusing on this camera?
From past Observatory OC visits I've always been allowed P&S camera
I stated I brought in a P&S because they never allowed me with any removable lens camera.
hi! did you use flash or no? thanks!
Does shutter speed matter or does it depend
Came for the camera review, stayed for the unapologetic bashing of capitalism and gentrification
Is there a focus free lens for this camera? I’m new to film photography, or photography in general sorry if it’s a dumb question.
Stick the photo in your pocket after you take it. You want to keep it out of the light for about 15 minutes after you take it.
Very cool. 👍
Nice! Did you develop and process as 400 or 3200 for that last roll?
Thanks for all the great info. I have the Fuji 300 wide and the Fuji mini 90 Neo Classic that I really like because of all the modes and its smaller size and vintage looks. But I'm hoping they come up with a wide that has more mode's and more professional controls. I have an Ebay bid on one of these right now. You might want to check out Forest Hills Film Lab's take on this Lomo camera too. Thanks for the video, well done. LarryMac

I initially was not going to post this video, due to the lack of B-Roll and photos, but given the hypocrisy of private ambulances that continue to feign appreciation for their "essential workers" during EMS week while refusing to improve conditions, I've decided to go ahead and post - albeit with added news and program footage to add context to a nationwide problem in healthcare, copyright strikes be damned.
Great video and thanks for sharing the manual settings with each shot 😊
Fantastic thank you man
Nice photos bro
Great video, thanks so much! I'm looking to switch out my Polaroid OneStep+ due to how difficult I find it to use and some of the issues you mentioned. Was torn between the Instax Wide 300 and this Lomo'Instant Wide, do you have experience with both? Which would you recommend?
great pics!! also shout out to the frida cinema for keeping art house cinema alive!!!
Amazing Amazing video..thanks so much for so many films used for this video. BTW your friend is really good at posing.
Buen video, sobre todo por ir contra el riesgo de contagiarse. Algunas fotos salieron sobre expuestas pero se puede ver la riqueza de color en la fotos. Quería consultarte si sigues teniendo el problema con el atasco de las fotos. Gracias y saludos desde Perú.
Killer video, thanks for the info. ✌️

Sure, you and everyone else with the same story. Don't inject politics in your videos unless you want to piss off close to half your audience. Also, when will you wake up? How many people die of respiratory diseases each year? I bet you don't know... In Australia where they have the least deaths from cv-19 and worst lockdowns, 10,000 people die each year from respiratory disease (yes, covid is a respiratory disease). Less than 1,000 diesd of covid. The world will be safe with useful idiots like you giving up your rights and freedoms, except abortion, that's her body and her choice, but only if she doesn't want the vaccine. That shit is mandatory y'all.
Vaccines have always been mandatory for medical health professionals - which I am - as well as public schools, especially after the science has proven time and time again that they work, and dumbasses like yourself constantly show we must approach things this way - when ya'll shout about "waking up" and "not being sheep" while chasing misinformation about hydroxychloroquine, false flag ops, and cleaning out stores with horse dewormers. Politics were injected into C19 discussion by your side of the spectrum to side-step the piss poor response while simultaneously silence any reminder that this pandemic should still be taken serious. What's a matter - can't bring up how this virus only effects the eldery when the Delta variant corrected for that? Piss the fuck off if - as someone who actually worked as an EMT during the height of this pandemic - you fucking think I'll stfu about what I think on my channel at the risk of annoying people who would actually piss me off in person. I do not want to get along with any of you and I want ya'll to be alienated by me.
@@ManuelGuzmanPhotography Stop talking. I am also a mental health practitioner, and I am NOT made to take vaccines I don't agree with. I also asked my local GP, he also said you are full of shit. You know what you know because you were told. When was the last time you had a critial thought let alone an original one? Almost all "modern" vaccines were made mandatory long after rates of MMR (even polio) infection dropped to what they have stayed at for the last 60 years. Yes dickhead, they were already on the way down long before "science" had any part to play. How quickly we forget big pharma... The reduction in almost all the viruses and bacteria that causes many of the vaccinated health issues were already on the way down thanks to clean living conditions, availability of good food, clean water, hygiene practises, and all the other modern living condition changes thanks to coal and oil-driven power production in the west and first world cultures. The continued prevalence of these diseases are almost exclusively in poor, unclean, underdeveloped countries (in some local cases poor immigrant areas) that in their country of origin can't use carbon to change their living conditions.. I bet you also think CO2 is the main driver for climate change, whatever that means. But morons will be morons. As for pissing the f_ck off... Well put you leftist hate-mongering tyranical ideologue.
@@GoA7250 Don't stand behind the title as though we didn't just have a scandal about medical professionals producing fake vaccination cards - seriously, making an appeal to authority because of what your GP said (if I even choose to believe you had the guy on speed dial and didn't just pull that out of your ass) then saying "you only know what you're told?" ESPECIALLY when you just pulled out a debunked bit of misinformation about the polio vaccine as fact; pretty much confirming my suspicion you get your info from memes and social media pundits. A graph from Our World In Data shows that cases of Polio peaked in the U.S. in the year 1952, with 57,879 cases. Once the vaccine became widely available in 1955, this figure dropped to 29,000 cases. So, to claim that polio cases were dropping significantly before this point is a bullshit lie. Further, your reactionary "tyrannical ideologue" projection; pretty sure your anti-choice wet-dream is already on display charging women with murder charges for miscarriages - so let's not pretend you're the side on freedom and liberty when it's clear all your talking points come from the usual suspects who fostered a "stolen election" narrative and now play defense for domestic terrorists. Your arguments are as old as that racism you're laying out for me as bait - I already saw this same pandemic response and backlash with the Spanish Flu. Guess what? Mask wearing and anti-science skepticism towards super spreader events were an issue then, too. Look at what happened to Philadelphia now and 100 years ago. You're not original and if history has shown anything, it's that progress will continue and you'll pretend you didn't believe this shit when you start to feel the embarrassment. Opening up all this by asking me what the alt-rght was while starting to inch towards their rhetoric, then completely side-step my initial response about not wanting to get along with people like you; thank you for the validation, dumbass.
#Covid_vaccine has the structure of HIV same as covid 19 virus to deceive your immunity system to create T-Cell perish together with the virus(just like overclocking immunity system temporarily), but unable to deceive the new covid 19 variant, the virus will permanently stay at human body's T-Cell then cause it malfunction to duplicate, destroy and spread even you have fully recovered from covid infection or fully vaccinated. Covid vaccine is a resistance of covid virus to create new variant, it only able to hide the symptoms after get infected, at the same time to enhance your immunity system to against the virus temporarily like 'MURPHY', "against the virus not eliminated", currently the opportunity to the death of having vaccine injection is less due to it's ineffectiveness since vaccine maker has been modified it to be safe. Vaccine manufacturer can be sued now after FDA fully approve those vaccine, this is great liberty status evolution. A lot of people death or having long term adverse reaction in vaccination before, and the government still keep hiding the truth.,,.,.35
