Better the second time around

At work, I had to replace a bunch of rollers and stuff for a HP Laserjet 4050. The last time I did this was a few months ago, with the same model printer, but a different area of the building. Anyway, it took me an hour and a half to do that. Today, I finished in 30 minutes. It was so amazing, I took a picture.

It definitely helped that I moved the printer into my office, instead of working the the hallway or room like I did last time. To be able to do something like that so much more quickly…man, it was quite a rush!

Depends how you look at it November 16, 2009

Bill November 10, 2009

I didn’t ask Bill to pose or smile. I liked his second portrait, but that wasn’t as sharp. Boo me. Reflections of myself and Bill’s dad (upper left) was deliberate. Taken inside his dad’s garage, and hopefully soon to be his recording studio. View on Flickr

A gift of film November 10, 2009

Jon Swanson emailed me last Friday and asked if I wanted any color Fuji 35mm film. He didn’t tell me how many rolls he had in his possession. Most importantly, he didn’t want a dime. I asked him how much he had, but he persisted that I give him a number. I requested eight rolls of 200 film1. [...]

One of my first prints November 5, 2009

I tried to get this scanned print as close to the real thing as possible. I cropped out the white borders since they weren’t clean. I didn’t write down how I exposed this in the enlarger – shame on me, I guess. Lastly, since this was our first assignment, our teacher hadn’t shown us contrast filters [...]
