photography

such good news: my jack is not going to die. the e.r. physician misunderstood his test results, apparently. i sort of knew nothing could happen to him, but i was scared to be sure of it.

here are slides from my first roll of film ever shot on a manual camera:



...a few of the pictures were actually perfectly exposed, and all were pretty well focused. i can't even tell you how proud of myself i was. i was expecting a disaster.

here are negatives from my second roll of film ever shot on a manual camera:



...and i processed them myself in the darkroom! this is so much fun.

i love my camera so much, it has quickly become my favorite possession. i got closer to what i wanted after one roll than after 5,000 pictures with my digital.
