We got a new coffee table today and were breaking it in with some blackjack (using Starbursts as betting chips…yum) and I took a picture just for fun. It turned out to be a pretty cool picture.

I used http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com/ to make an awesome picture in the style of the famous Obama vector image. Good times.

So my film came out mostly okay. The whole process wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be although it was still fairly nerve-wracking with all the time sensitive stuff. Really makes me appreciate digital so much more. I did like the part when the print goes into the developer and you get to watch the image slowly appear. Very cool.
My film developed well and almost all the pictures came out except one that looked funky. I got some water streaks on the negatives but they didn’t show up very much at all on the actual prints. I consider it a success. Hopefully the future assignments go just as well (with less water streakage, hopefully).
I’m taking a photography class where we’re using all black and white film, no digital. Eek! It’s scary. I’m getting used to shooting with the camera using all manual settings (instead of my usual point and shoot technique) and it’s actually pretty fun but I’m developing my first roll of film tomorrow and I’m nervous about it. I’ve already got it in the tank, which was a bit of an ordeal in and of itself. Standing in a completely dark room fumbling around and trying to get my film on the spool was not fun. Tomorrow I get to put the actual chemicals in the tank. I think I’m making a bigger deal of this than it really is, but I just don’t want to screw up and have to redo the whole thing from the beginning. That would not be fun, although it would possibly not be the end of the world. Possibly.
These pictures are from nature walks in a few different places in West Virginia and Kentucky.








Not sure what “scarpbooking” is but if it’s anything like scrapbooking, a whole weekend of it sounds pretty boring. This was in the main building of one of the places we went in Kentucky.
I took some pictures while walking around in the park the other day.




I took some pictures while hiking around in the woods. Here are my favorites:









In summary, it was a nice walk and the deer were friendly.
