Roll Film…

I just remembered a quote I got in my e-mail after that first roll of film. Makes a joke about the pain of film processing…

I said: “Most of mine are on strips of light sensitive celluloid… er.. film, which I have to develop myself, so I don’t have anything to look at yet.”

Mike replied: “You might try some Preparation “C” on those sensitive celluloids. Just apply liberally to your F Stop and wait a few hours.”

Here’s my 2nd roll of film. A little misleading, I’ve been using 2 cameras, and I started this roll first, but it was the last (of 4 so far) to get finished, developed and scanned. Same deal as before, side image to view the rest of the album, or squares to see the individual images.

Updates

I think I’ve got this Flickr plugin pegged. It now takes the place of my coppermine gallery (though hardly any of those photos are on my Flickr account). I’ve also got the “Photos” tab at the top treating it properly. This will be much nicer, because Yahoo(!) can filter the comment spam, and the hosting of all those images. While I maintain the look of my site when you (the reader) view them. Win-win.

Feel free to leave feedback on forthcoming photos here (I can’t stop you), but I would encourage you to leave feedback on the images within Flickr if you can.

In other news, I helped Erin set up some hosting with a domain and wordpress today, hopefully she’ll nail down a look-and-feel for her site soon. Updated her link in the sidebar –>

Creative B&W Photography

Since I’ve taken to the hobby of photography, I thought I might take another photography class (the last one I took was in 2002). I also thought I might start posting the photos here on my blog. To liven things up a bit, I’ll post some highlights of one roll of film at a time.

Click the larger image to the right to see the album, or the square thumbnails to see a larger version of that photograph.

This first roll was taken at “the pond” where we waterski here in Eugene.
