I've always been super wary of cats, my first sentence was "Kitty bites," but this little guy is more puppy than minion of the dark side...he's going to turn me into a cat lover.

It's a Doggy-Dog World
As you can see, I've become slightly obsessed with digital analog programs. After taking thousands and thousands of pictures, and knowing exactly how each will turn out, it's really fun to throw caution to the wind and get images that are overblown, blurry, and not perfectly composed.

Why Photo Labs Are Still in Business
Hi all,
For those of you wondering what the hell happened to my "picture a day" endeavor, don't fret, it's still a work in progress. The reason for the atrocious lag in uploading is quite simple, I switched to film. Not only did I switch to a film camera but, it's a film camera circa 1950...I'll give you a second to realize the technical difficulties that abound when shooting with a camera that's over 60 years old....
So, not only have I had to learn how to use this camera but, I've also been stubborn enough to insist on scanning the processed film myself. Thanks to my school's camera lab, I have a very nice medium format film scanner at my disposal. The catch? Well, I've been scanning film for two hours now and only have 6 pictures to show for it.
To cut a long story short, film photography is amazing. It requires a totally different level of technicality and patience but, is completely worth once you have actual images to show for it. However, scanning film is not so great. If you can look past the clunky programs for "at-home" scanners and the dexterity required to load the film without touching it then you're good to go...just be forewarned that you can only scan one image at a time. One. That's it. For a shutter bug like me, who routinely takes hundreds of pictures, this part is torture.
So, if you like shooting film and you want digital copies of your images take it to a photo lab. Yes they'll charge you more for a disc but, who really wants to spend hours scanning a single roll of film? In the future I'll be taking my film to the photo lab to be processed and scanned. That way I don't have to spend my life in front of a scanner and I get to help out all those "Mom & Pop" photo labs that I deserted when I went digital. Win-win!
Pictures are coming soon, just bear with me

Project 365: February 15
If Looks Could Kill
Note: So, this week was really, really busy. I hade a 125 page econometrics paper that I needed to turn into a ten minute PowerPoint and my senior presentation that I needed to prepare...which means that I wasn't able to take pictures every single day. Therefore, Fernando took this one...and it's really, really creepy.

Project 365: February 11
RicohFlex circa 1950
Note: I found this camera ten years ago in my grandmother's trunk. As a birthday present to myself I had the lenses realigned and am now trying to learn how to use it, I'll have to see how the first role turns out.
