Shrimp Pesto & Brussels Sprouts
Made pesto for dinner and decided to make some cheesy Brussels sprouts with them.
Once A Giant
21 years. That’s how long it’s been since I was last a student here on this campus. I was a kid. A kid with a drinking problem, at that. I don’t remember a lot from my days here, but I do remember always feeling so small on campus. Like, physically small. The campus always felt…
Spooky Film Outtakes with Mikala
I shot a couple of exposures on TMAX100 film using the Mamiya the day we took photos of Mikala last week. I knew they’d turn out pretty blurry because there was a very limited amount of light we could count on and I was working with a film with abysmally-low ISO. There wasn’t a whole…
Mamiya C330
Bought this beast a while back and finally got around to shooting photos of it in my lightbox. I plan to shoot a lot of slide film in this gal. 📷: Macro 100mm 2.8 L
Film Visalia
So my film nerd friends and I did a thing. Follow us, you wonderful fools, you! Unlike the commercial stuff, the goal here is simple: imperfection. Mostly by me, but guest photographers contribute and all can be found on the gram. All of my black & white film is developed by myself at home and all…
No Printing This Friday
I’m sorry I won’t be there tomorrow, guys. I’m very sick and will be likely be joining the ranks at Kaweah Delta Hospital. I’m hoping to be okay and be around so we can print again on Wednesday. P.S.: If you left film with me, it’s all developed in the cabinet. We’ll set up again…
Chemical Measurements: A General Post
Since we now buy most of our chemicals in bulk powder form, this post is a general reminder for everyone (mostly myself) on how much powder to mix into how much water to make our paper developer. Please note that we have a small digital scale in the darkroom now which will make it easy…
New Photo Chemicals
As of last week, we have brand new photo processing chemicals in the lab. I have taken the liberty of mixing the fist batch of paper chemicals so you can come in and make prints. Please remember that the paper chemical needs to be diluted at a ratio of 1:1 in order to make it…
Image Composition and Framing
For the next few weeks, I want to focus on image composition and proper framing. I’ll skip the long post and just leave you with the handout we’re using in class. Focus on practicing on each technique in the handout for a few frames per roll. To help us keep track of our settings, I’m…
Equipment Return
It’s that time of the year again, guys. That time that is awesome for you because you’re off to summer vacation but awful for me because we don’t get to hang out in the darkroom again until August. 🙁 That time, of course, is the time to start returning all the cameras and other equipment (lenses,…
