Starting with a new roll. When I took this I thought I had advanced enough. I'm not sure what happened, but apparently part of this frame saw light.

RGY03089

Manone visited our campus. There was a lecture and a demonstration. It was interesting.

RGY03088

I only documented the demonstration part, the small lecture hall was way overcrowded and I didn't stay for much of that.

RGY03090

Explaining different caps.

RGY03091

Demonstrating.

RGY03092

RGY03093

RGY03094

Everyone was allowed to try it. Suppose the only difference was that this was done on butcher paper, rather than the actual wall.

RGY03095

After the demo, I was walking back to the darkroom, which is just to the left of this scene. I saw all these people standing in front of the wall, thought it was the weirdest thing ever so I had to take a shot.

RGY03096

Turns out it was a drawing class (found out when I passed the doors to the darkroom, noticed more clearly that they were all drawing the vines).

I "reorganized" the lost negatives.

RGY03097

Not quite right? Printing color can be frustrating.

RGY03098

When I took this, he didn't think I caught him in frame.

RGY03099

At Coffee Bean (not Starbucks).

RGY03100

Light was oddly good here.

RGY03101

Commissioned. Such a small car.

RGY03102

RGY03104

Echoing each other.

RGY03107

They repaved a part of the street I take to get to school. It was only like this for one night. I stopped that night and took a few frames. The dust kicked up mixed with the headlights of cars made it look interesting. I'm not sure why but my panning shot looks odd. I would have expected it to be more smooth.

That's all for now. I cross processed a roll of Ektachrome 100G and pushed it a stop. The results were ok, I'll post them in the next entry!

Thanks for reading, those that do.

Short, maybe

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

rgy01994

With the light on:

rgy01997

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.

rgy02000

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.

rgy02013

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.

rgy02024

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.
