1) I can use CSS under the influence.

2) I'm... chemically befuddled for the first time since last Christmas and I love it. Screw adulthood.





Ok 3 things: I dropped off some film yesterday that will hopefully portray some nice fall foliage. As I used said film under the influence of some hardcore meds*, we'll see if things turn out.




*I was diagnosed with both strep AND an upper respiratory tract infection this past week. The medicine you get with such things is just wonderful, I assure you. Yes, it's just as much fun as it sounds.

What's up with all the dark, brooding car pictures, you ask?

Last weekend I was at the Antique Auto Museum of America Museum. For those of you that know me, I'm kind of a car fan girl. In fact, I did what one of my friends would call "flaily hands" when I walked in to the main showroom. Sure, I've splooged you all with nature shots and whatnot, but I have a soft spot for cars. In fact, I've spent the whole of my professional career in the automotive industry.

I am also bored.

So, I decided for something different for this last shoot. Sure, I could have taken a bunch of perfect photos of these great cars. I wanted to have fun.

When I walked in and saw the cars from the 30's and 40's, I went right to film noir. I wanted something dark, moody, gritty and imperfect.

So there you are.

I had fun.

It's been a good few weeks!

I've totally fallen head over heels with 120 film. Totally amazing! I've also gotten the F1 in working order again, so I'm in old school camera heaven. The DSLR is getting the proverbial layer of dust!

So, there are 4 more rolls waiting for me to pick them up at the lab, so there are more things to come!

I have had very little time to go out and shoot. But, I just came back from visiting family in the midwest again, so I'll upload some shots this week

Unexpectedly, the roll of black and white negative came back today. This was my first roll ever on the Mamiya and I think I did well. There were a 2 double exposures, but other than that things came out fine. I'm quite happy that my dad's old light meter is working well.

I also got a couple rolls of 35mm back. Unfortunately, one was damaged. I think I can salvage a couple of shots from it, though...
