Fujifilm X-T10 (black) with 18-55 glass. I liked Oly OM-D a lot, but I like Fujis a bit more.View attachment 391830
I love my X-E1. Nice to see another Fuji user on GTP.

New backpack for bike riding. Been using this old Nike bag which is terrible for biking and way too big.
So I went with the Osprey Viper 5. Has good reviews so hopefully it'll be a nice upgrade.

After cleaning my bedroom and bathroom, I decided to replace the 15 1/2 year old bulbs in my bathroom. I wanted something a little softer and whiter. Still have a dome light to the left to replace but can't get the cover undone.
edit-this reminds me I need to clean that trim piece.

This is why days off can be dangerous. Not pictured: a nice golf shirt for my dad for Father's Day, and the accompanying card.
And, uh, this:
The lady promised herself a new dress on account of getting a promotion last month. She tried this on and a red one, and couldn't decide which she preferred. So, I removed the struggle of decision for her. I figure with my birthday at the end of the month, I can pull this off.

Canon 100D
Thought it was about time i got into photography again and this looked like a decent starting point.
I'd had a Pentax SLR during college and uni, followed by a Canon EOS 600 (film) - that i had up until one of the SeaWorld Orcas decided it required a sea water washing which eventually led to part of the shutter mech rusting up.
I still have the lens from the previous EOS, which is something like a 35-80mm which gives me a few more options to the standard 18-55 kit lens it came with. I mostly bought it to help with my painting, which is something else i picked back up a couple of years ago after not picking up a brush since college. Since i mainly do land and sea-scapes i've also invested in some lens filters (UV, 'warming' and the necessary polarizer filter) along with a lens hood.
Aside from a new tripod - my previous one was cannibalised to make a decent in-car camera-mount for the now defunct Cortina - i'll be looking into a reasonable 50mm lens with a nice low f-stop as my next camera-related purchase.

@TheCracker, and there was me thinking your first camera was a pinhole cardboard camera. You must be younger than I thought!

That had been my initial thought, but reading the reviews had led me to believe that the connector, being plastic, could be quite brittle - leading to plenty of instances of the lens getting stuck to the body, so I may end up looking a little higher up market than that (although that one is indecently cheap) But then you've got to weigh up the benefits of higher end lenses with lower end bodies, I guess.
My step brother has a 5D with plenty of mostly L-Series lenses. I might have a go with some of them to see just what difference they can make to a lower end body before I splash out (not red-band level splashing out)
