No Butts about it

Some more images from street shooting.

Travel on the Brain

I've already begun packing despite not leaving for over two weeks. My bag has some of my stuff already in it, my desk has a pile of toiletries that will go too. Because I'm taking a single bag, a carry-on, and am traveling a lot, I'm limited my luggage and also trying to save weight. So I calculated the weight of things. For instance, right now I've decided to take roughly 15 pounds of stuff, 9 of which are camera gear. And I can't keep myself from looking at the Hassie, saying I could carry that around Europe right?

Also, the sphynx is in front of the Spokane Free Mason Temple. Explanations appreciated.

And some more...

Here are a couple further shots. I've been keeping busy with outdoor activities the last few days, so I haven't developed at all.

More Street Shooting

A couple more images from last Thursday. I was intending to go again today, however the rain made it a little less appealing...

A little A, and a little B

Some more shots from last week. These last few images were the last images I took on my "street photography tour" last week. The rest were taken with my mom while hiking in Spokane.

No, the cat wasn't on the street. It was at home. So what, theres a picture of my cat on my blog. Get over it.

Street Photography..? Kinda...?

I mean it was taken on streets, and mostly but not always OF streets (sort of). Does this count? I think I did it wrong...

Waiting for the dark

To lightseal a room, you must seal the cracks around your doors, especially if they're cheap doors, and if there are windows you must seal these off. For a while, one room in the house lacked a functional window due to the black clothe covering it, and had black felt around the seams of the door. It never really worked perfectly, and it was ugly. To have it in a normal room in the house means the cats will terrorize it, and all too often you don't notice small light leaks until your eyes have fully adjusted to the dark which takes some time. So right now, I'm doing what I've done for the last few times I've developed: I'm waiting for it to get dark out, and writing the accompanying post that will be published with the images I'll develop and scan this evening. Once it gets dark, I turn off the one light that is on in the house, turn off the computer monitors, and go into the bathroom with the door shut. So far my results have been good, or at least haven't shown obvious issues from this step in the entire process, so I'm waiting for the dark.

The irony here of course is that growing up in Alaska, I always felt that I was waiting for the dark to disappear all winter long.

Anyways, these images are of some of the people I work with.



And then some of the forest again. I'm not sure whats going on on the sides. This is the "new" back, so its a little frustrating to see issues like this, but the majority are fine.
