Took these photos of Dean several weekends ago in Downtown. He looks like a Japanese tourist, don't you think???
I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping... gonna finish up this weekend. Can't believe Christmas is only 8 days away! That's just crazy!
It's FRIDAY!!! Have a great weekend!

Been meaning to post the rest of these portrait photos from our photo excursion the other week. Sorry for the delay... things have been pretty busy lately. Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!

Here are a few photos from the three rolls of film I developed this week. I have a lot more to print... it's gonna be a long day in the darkroom this Saturday...
Have a nice weekend!
Happy Friday and Happy Halloween, y'all! I wasn't planning on doing anything for Halloween, costume wise, but I think I may pull together a last minute outfit and lurk the streets of Chinatown tomorrow night with friends. Hope you all have a fun Halloween! Be safe!

Been working on my 'Line/Form/Texture' photography project the past week. I made a few prints in class last night. I'm not sure if I'm just too slow or too picky (perhaps a combination of both), but it takes me forever to get one decent print! In 2 1/2 hours, I was only able to make three full/decent prints! The rest were test strips and bad runs. I have seven more prints to make for my project. I reserved 7 hours in the darkroom this Saturday, and I intend to make as many prints as possible. Wish me luck.
I took this photo of my mom last week as the sun was setting, casting interesting light & shadow line patterns through the blinds of our home. She was a great model... thanks mom! :)
I'll post more photos throughout the week.

It's been a really tough week for some of us... I won't get into details here, but let's just say that I've been strapped in an emotional roller coaster ride the past few days... and I'm not the only one. At least it's Friday and we have the weekend to look forward to... taking it one day at a time. I need to finish up two rolls of film and work on a paper for my drawing class. What's your plans this weekend? Whatever it is, hope it's a great one.

I was finally able to successfully develop not one, but two rolls of film this week in photography class. The very first roll of film I shot a couple weeks ago was ruined by my own hands (R.I.P.). I must have inadvertently exposed the film while loading it into the developing tank because there were huge blotches of haze all over the place. This week I made sure I was extra careful when transferring two rolls of film into the developing tank, and thankfully, there were no blotches present this time around. I finally made some contact sheets and did a quick print of one of the photos. I didn't have too much time to work on this print because class was about to end, but hopefully next week I'll be able to make more prints and do some contrast filter tests as well. Also, my scanner really sucks, so this scan doesn't look so hot. I'm seriously considering buying a film scanner now... I'd really like to shoot more film in the future, and scanning negatives is so expensive at photo labs... I think I'd be saving a lot more money in the long run if I purchased my own film scanner. My friend has the Epson Perfection V700 and likes it. He also suggested several Nikon film scanners as well, like the Super CoolScan 5000, 8000, and 9000, but those are much more expensive. We'll see... I need to do some major research... a film scanner is next on my "want" list... that along with the 85mm f/1.2L II USM... *evil grin*... it will be mine... oh yes, it will be mine...

Jerry Uelsmann is a genius... a true master of photography, in my book. Not only are his prints amazingly breathtaking, but the fact that he created these masterpieces by hand in the darkroom with multiple negatives and up to a dozen enlargers at once is absolutely astonishing! I love everything about his prints... from the tones and contrast to the meticulous and unique blending of different images. His selection of images to combine and his ability to successfully marry each image to one perfect whole creates a surreal world beyond my wildest imagination... it's like being inside a beautiful dream.
“I am sympathetic to the current digital revolution and excited by the visual options created by the computer. However, I feel my creative process remains intrinsically linked to the alchemy of the darkroom.” -Jerry N. Uelsmann
I would love to hang out with him in the darkroom just for a day... or more...
Feels like I'm always apologizing for the lack of posts here... things have been a little busy and I haven't had much of an opportunity to get out and take new photos lately. This past Saturday I spent most of my day in the darkroom working on photograms for my photography class. I can now say from personal experience that I understand why being in the darkroom is so addicting... time really seems to fly by when you're in there... it did for me, at least. I'll try scanning some of my photograms and post them here when I get a chance. Hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend.

Tomorrow is Hawaii's Admissions Day state holiday, so I have the day off! I love it when my Thursday becomes a Friday!
Here's a photo I took with my Blackbird Fly TLR camera a couple weekends ago, which was loaded with a roll of Agfa CT Precisa 100 35mm color slide film, then cross processed.
Have a great weekend everyone! I can taste the long weekend already...
