as far as the pictures i took, i put them into the apropriate entries. you can find them here:
all dressed up but blurry
rainbow scarf (full flash)
two dozen roses
happy family in the park
and you'll be glad to know, i think i finally have my flash figured out. if you can read what's on the little sign. cecilia, the scarf is for you.
i shoot with 35mm film (usally 400 color) on my ancient (1970s) nikkormat marty gave to me. it's manual focus, light meter, everything, even the timer is a ticking dial. it weighs more than i do, and i love it. (at least in the sunlight w/o flash)
i send my film away to york photo labs for developing. i remember my grandma close sending out the little envelopes, and i got one in those stupid blue valupak coupons. i was furious for walgreens charging me $15 dollars for screwing up my order (i hate paying for superflous doubles!) and so i tried them. they do a good job, take both color and black and white, and are über cheap. 1.85 for 27exp. 3x5 single prints. and for 99cents they will give you an online album on their website. it's perfect for the blog, as i don't need to upload them to flickr or anything. i should probably just get them online so i can look at them, and then order prints from that. express service is 30 cents and you get your photos online in a few days and the prints in about a week. so for $5 and one week, you can get a double prints and a digital album. what more could you ask for? they also go the other way, and will give you prints from your media card. everyone at school has or wants digital. but i adore my film camera. nothing like being in total control.
