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!



A few photos from several weekends ago. Gonna miss having a darkroom...

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!



Been working on my 'portraits' project for photography class. I developed one roll of film from Halloween. I didn't have a chance to make prints of all the photos I wanted to yet... but here's what I was able to print so far. I'll post more portraits as soon as I'm able to spend more time in the darkroom to make more prints. I have about 5 rolls to shoot this weekend... time for a photo shoot with the girls! Let's do this! If anyone else is interested in tagging along with us for a photo shoot this weekend, holler at me!

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.

Darkroom lesson #1 (aside from the obvious of not getting light on your unused paper): Do NOT forget your negatives in the enlarger! This is one lesson I had to learn the hard way... I forgot a strip of negatives in the enlarger as I rushed to pack up all my belongings after class last week. I didn't even realize I had forgotten it until three days later. When I got back to class today, I searched everywhere for it, with the hopes that a good samaritan had set it aside in the lost and found. There were several other negative strips there, but none were mine. I lost five photos, including the one in my last post. Bummers. That's one mistake I'll be sure to never make again.

Today in class I worked on this photo I took of Dean last weekend at The Pancake House (yum). I made six prints, using contrast filters 0-5... in this case, contrast filter #3 looked the best out of all of them... I might even want to try 2 1/2 later. Next class I'll try printing some other photos.

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

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...
