Hi. I got a scanner, so I spent this weekend going through all of my negatives. I was going to scan them all then I realized that would take way too much time so I decided to choose my better ones instead and get all of the most recent rolls.

The following are presented chronologically.

This is my sister, it's off the fourth roll of film I ever shot and to this day is what I consider my best photo. I spent quite some time in PS cleaning it up and ordered a really large print of it I'm going to hang somewhere. It was taken around September/October '07, developed in Marathon, which I used simply because it's what my school uses.

Fast forward to Christmas '07. In front of the fireplace

From here on everything was developed in Xtol 1:1. My cousin and her husband were here with their son during the holidays.

My cousin (note how dirty my negative is)

New year, January '08. We were up in Sacramento, this is another cousin of mine

One of the first shots I took after I got all the chemicals to develop my film at home. Of course, it's a self portrait in the bathroom

At school, eating lunch, ran into a friend

From the passenger side of a car, guy was twirling the sign all around himself, decided it would make a cool photo. I thought I missed the shot, but it turned out nice

Cat

Mom plus cat

Barely recognizable man running away from my car.

On Vine, right before the freeway entrance, there's a huge hill you have to go up. Whoever drove this car decided it would be best to turn his wheels towards the middle of the street so in case his brakes failed his car would go hurtling into traffic.

Mom on phone

Car crash! Snapped as I was passing by, kind of missed the most important part...

Other cat. He's an indoor cat that acts extremely weird when he's outside.

Cat plus sister

Cat, sister, mom.

He'll crouch down low to the ground when walking on the driveway and roll around.

That's all I have for now. Everything was shot with a Canon AE-1 and a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. Everything shot on Tri-x 400, some of it was pushed to 800.

Two days ago it didn't quite look like it.

This was today at 11:40 AM:

And today at 12:40 PM:

And again:

When it finally started raining, I failed to take any good pictures so I don't have any. There was also some hailing, lightning, and thunder.

So, hi, I have a new template, this one I actually made myself. The links the top don't work yet, but otherwise everything should be functional. I hope to actually keep this updated now instead of posting less than once a month.

The following were taken with a 30D.

Thought this one looked better in black and white. There really are huge mountains hiding behind these clouds.

Most of these were taking standing in my driveway, kind of boring.

Not sure where I took this one from.

This one, however, is looking down a street one block away from where I live.

Construction site for an addition to the college near where I live. And, of course, the actual site isn't exposed in this photo.

But you can in this one!

From the back walkway of the golf course near where I live. I took many others aside from this one, but they didn't turn out so well. This one it sort of looks like I had to be floating off the path somewhere to have taken it.

I said "near where I live" way too many times in this post.
