I made a mural print this past semester for my photography class. Making the test strip

rgy01994

With the light on:

My professor made these half tubes for processing the print. A lot more economical than having a rectangular box with a ton of chemical in it.

rgy01998

And the print!

rgy01999

Took about 2 hours from start to finish to make it. Had two friends helping me in there. We went for sushi after.

That's frame #2000. 2000 shots since I got my M6 about a year ago. Definitely doesn't feel like it's been a whole year already.

She took this one:

rgy02001

Tried recovering it the best I could in PS, tried to keep the pretty bokeh from the christmas lights still visible. :p

Mom shredding old documents.

rgy02003

Locks.

rgy02004

Self. These types of mirrors always intrigue me.

rgy02006

Wall, paint, cat, burrito, laptop, bag, blanket, bear, glasses, bracelets.

rgy02008

Mom with Scamper, our new cocker spaniel. Adorable, isn't he?

rgy02009

In class the day we presented our murals. Professor on the left.

rgy02014

Friend's that I helped make a few days earlier.

rgy02015

rgy02016

My bed. I think this was a 1s exposure, was bored and wanted to see if I could get it sharp.

rgy02018

Art opening for a friend. These lovely ladies played music and sang.

rgy02022

And she took a metric ton of photos.

rgy02023

She was cross stitching.

The marble sculpture in the foreground here was/is amazing. The one in the background was pretty cool, as well. There was a thing you could look through in his crotch to see the queen.

rgy02025

Family and mom's friend went to Solvang for the day for her birthday. I suppose it was still a little early?

rgy02027

Trying Æbleskiver. It was quite good.

rgy02028

The burger with no real meat in it wasn't particularly good. It was also green.

rgy02029

rgy02030

rgy02031

Another one of those mirrors.

rgy02034

Cuckoo clocks. So many different kinds. And all fairly expensive. :p

rgy02036-2

In front of The Little Mermaid replica statue. It was much smaller than I was expecting. I want to see the one in Copenhagen now.

rgy02038

And, for whatever reason, there's an ostrich farm right outside of Solvang. We stopped by and my Mom got to feed them.

rgy02040

They're quite ugly.

rgy02042

rgy02043

Smug ostrich is smug.

rgy02044

But I suppose they can make for pretty landscape-ish shots as well. Fiber print I made of this looks very good if I dare say.

rgy02045

Using my enlarger's baseboard for painting.

rgy02048

Stinky.

rgy02049

Teddy. He's grown so much since I took this.

rgy02050

Easter. My grandmother always wraps up huge cardboard easter eggs with candy inside. Its always done so nicely.

rgy02051

There goes Teddy! (and, of course, we're watching the food network)

rgy02053

Outside searching for eggs.

rgy02054

Mom taking pictures with my 30D.

rgy02056

:)

rgy02057

That makes 43 images. Hope you enjoyed seeing them.

Portfolio Site

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Hey. I know I've neglected this for a while now, but I've been super busy with school. For one of my classes this semester I created a portfolio site for my photography which I just launched. Check it out at http://rickyribe.com.

I have a lot of work to post and I'll be getting to it soon. Stay tuned.
