school and flu season

I've had two flu-like illness in the past month. A member of my class claims to of had swine flu last week. He is a Texan so I can't be sure. I'm coming down with a cold right now. But school will be over soon and then I should feel well until September. I'm looking forward to hiking again.

Here is one of my black and white photo's, I scanned on the fancy scanner at the college. I don't know if it was my best copy of this picture, I'm too tired to go through the pictures I printed today. This is the only one I scanned. I'm going to try to do my final critique tomorrow so I will stop printing!

Our class will be putting on a show next Thursday and Friday.

The Start

I don't know how this protest ended. I turned around when the march headed up the highway. I was hoping to get some good photos but the protest started after dark rendering my black and white film camera obsolete.

Black and White Film Photography

Three pictures I have taken. I took these with a Pentax K1000 with a 50mm lens and no filter. I loaded the film onto reels, developed the reels and then printed these pictures one at a time. It is a very time consuming process but it is fun too.



This guy landed in Shelton one day. He dreams of opening a legal marijuana pharmacy in this store.



Taken in a clear cut.

I printed the next two from some old black and white negatives I found in my grandparents basement after my grandparents passed away. I wish my family would have let me have all the negatives so I could develop them.



I think this is great-grandma rigney




I don't know who this guy is. My Professor says this looks like it was taken in the 1940's. It was in the same film strip as the one above.

I also have printed a negative of Grandpa Lycan's oil well and what might have been his house. If my mother reads this blog maybe she can tell me who these people are.
