I just noticed how few entries I posted over the summer. Damn. I guess I have been throwing multiple smaller things from a given week or two in single posts, which is probably why. Still, I feel skeevy for slacking. So I'm going to change the layout and fix tags and stuff.
This is from exactly a week ago. It's not finished. I'm eh about it, don't know if I'll finish it.
I just woke up half an hour ago and it's 4:10 in the afternoon, lolz.

We're All The Same Here
Feb. 20th, 2010 11:38 amLol, on this little girls' horse cartoon on TV, all the white girls are spoiled, rich bitches, and all the "normal" kids are black or Mexican or some shit. Less importantly, all the animals have really weird accents.

Good Times
Feb. 17th, 2010 06:14 pmSo today the loud girl that makes photography class hell managed to smash her head in the horrible revolving tin can door to the darkroom. I think I may have been the only person that saw it.

Also I Just Woke Up
Feb. 5th, 2010 09:35 pmI wish we had a couch that wasn't either too small or too made of leather. My neck doesn't hurt now, but I bet it'll be all fucked up tomorrow, to top off my cold for when I have to go out in the five feet of snow for my nephew's birthday party.
I just remembered you use the magenta on the enlarger to make prints not gross and grey. Have to probably reprint the first print I did of the construction workers. On Monday, if we're not watching another movie about black people. On closer inspection, this lady is definitely looking directly into the camera.
This scanner scans shit too light, and there's some light blue smudge on the side of every scan. Oh well.

Feb. 2nd, 2010 10:06 amMy retard photo teacher is going to Massachusetts for some convention, so she won't be in school on Wednesday, and "they" won't open the darkroom for us to use on Wednesday like the will on Friday. Fucking lame.
Also I feel sorry for this guy, because the stupid loud girl in my class claimed he was "the father of one of her kids," and the teacher said he looked like a bear from another planet. What the hell. Also you should have witnessed the outrage in the class at the idea that I take pictures of strangers. I really can't do it justice. The stupid loud girl said she wouldn't want to offend someone's religious beliefs by taking a photograph of them, and she wasn't joking.

Never Know Where You Are
Jan. 31st, 2010 11:29 pmwith me! The drugs don't go where they ought to be! When you start to bleed from your nose and fingers... Never know where you are with me! Headfuck! Headfuck! Lol. No kidding.
So the assignment for these photos was "Pittsburgh: A Beautiful Place" or some bullshit like that. But really it just looks fucking haunted. Good job, shitty camera, scanner, and neighborhood. I've decided I like these horrible scans of varying quality.

My first roll of film turned out okay, and the first three negatives on my second roll turned out okay. Apparently, after that, the battery in my camera ran out, so even though the light meter said the settings on the camera were correct when taking the pictures after that, they were all WRONG and the negatives didn't come out. Also I kind of botched the developing, but that only really affected one negative, which was underexposed anyhow. Yaaaaaaay.
I scanned the negatives because I was too impatient to wait until Monday to make contact sheets to see what the shit looked like. Turns out I can JUST fit one 36 exposure roll of film cut into strips of five onto my scanner. Of course, just because I can get something that resembles an image out of these horribly underexposed negatives by darkening them and upping the contrast on them to a billion times what it originally was in Photoshop doesn't mean I'll be able to do that with an enlarger. I will now force the hairy scans on you.
