Darkroom adventures.
Today was the first official day in the darkroom. There are only 8 enlargers, so it’s significantly smaller that my high school’s darkroom. I actually kind of miss Kennedy’s darkroom. For a high school, it was pretty damn nice.
Anyways. It was the whole basic “this is how you work an enlarger” and “this is how you develop your prints” and “this is how you make a contact sheet” type of crap. Basic stuff for me, considering I’ve been in a darkroom and taken film classes before. It was still awesome to develop prints, though. God, I’ve missed that process.
Oh, and a girl fainted. That was… That was actually very worrisome. Last I checked, she was okay. But still. Fainting in the darkroom is scary shit, yo.
Other than that, photo is treating me well. We should be getting our cyanotypes back next week, so woohoo! I really want to scan mine and post them up here because I LOVE how they turned out. Also, we’ve got two more rolls of film to work on. One will simply be taking a whole roll of photos of a goddamn chair. We’re supposed to “try to make it interesting” or some shit like that. The other roll will be of one object also, and we have to use bracketing for it. I’ll probably try to get at least one of the rolls done on Friday so I can get in the darkroom at some point next week. I’d go this weekend, but I’m gonna be gone, dammit.
