It isn't often I post I know, and I am sad I have no riviting post but somewhat of a tooting of my own horn. I haven't played around with my
suggestr app in a while but given I got some new images with some new tags I figured why not. It was down and not working for some reason though but I seemed to got it up and running again, not sure how many flickr users read this but I have to say my suggestr app is a neat way for discovering new groups on flickr IF you tag your photos well! And run it multiple times at it only selects a random few tags to work off of :) So its here:

I learned a lot in the photography class I took this semester. Primarily how to make a good print on both Resin Coated (RC) paper and Fiber Base paper (FB). To me there is something very special about making a picture by hand from start to finish. From the moment you click the shutter, to developing the negative to the enlarging process to even pressing and mounting the final print. Here is my final project, as to which the teacher said it was one of the best final projects he has seen in a photo I class. Mission accomplished. I am now actively working on my next goal.

It's photography, it's new york city, it's from a cool guy whom I had the pleasure of meeting...and the little video has a cool soundtrack. Have fun:

No this isn't an example of it, but that is my new assignment. Also we learned how to make our first print. It is quite a process consisting of making test prints, using filters, and printing again. I look forward to it though. I am at this new part of my life where hopefully I can really jump into this stuff fully and churn out some real art. I always felt my stuff is more or less just "there", not quite commercial enough for commercial, and not artzy enough for art. I aim to change that. That being said I am also in an interesting point in life, a point I should of been at for sometime so that being said I might "emote" some on this blog, and if so I do apologize. Oh and this picture was not for the class or the first project at all, just figured i'd post something new....

30 seconds and you begin to see the print...I am hooked. This new photoclass is pretty cool. This last class (class number 3), we developed our own film and saw how to make our contact print. It is a funny thing, I am not only into this subject matter but I am actually asking questions. I feel on some level a lot of my college time was wasted cause I only asked questions when I absolutely had to...and usually then in private (anxiety is a horrible thing). I don't know if it is now age, experience or passion but I am now commenting and asking more than I have ever before in class. I like this new me as a student. I was never a kiss-ass in class but seeing as how I went in today on a Sunday for extra time to do contact sheets I feel a bit of a over achiever. The sheets were one for my last assignment, what this image is from and one sheet from a roll of 35mm I shot and developed from my Holga. Needless to say, the
Holga negatives were grossly over exposed (f13 at 1/125seconds iso 400 will do that in the bright of day), but I even learned how to adjust the enlarger to fix some of those issues. The number one thing I am learning from this is just how much work my scanner software does for me. Wow. Next class we learn how to make a print... this is an incredibly exciting opportunity as I NEVER (or at least very rarely) make any prints of the stuff I shoot.
