Old film developed

In the last post i said that i had found some old film and was going to develop it. i did and there was nothing on the film. or nothing i could make out as a photo at least. but i did remember that had found some old rolls of film from college that looked exposed but not developed. I decided to make sure that it was the old film and not me that screwed up so i developed my negitives by hand for the first time since 2004. and luckily i am still pretty good at loading and developing.

these shots are from Camp Fife circa 2002. alot of changes have happened to the camp since then but enjoy.

snow in late march

Yesterday afternoon it snowed here in port angeles elevation of sea level to 400 feet. This is a very rare event in late march. Our fair city only sees snow about 2 times a year in December and Early January.
So i grabbed my camera to show proof. i pointed the lens up to the sky and shot this shot.
It turned out looking like dirt or fall out from the sky so i put it against a background.

They were very big flakes as you can see. On my way back inside i looked over at my new salt and pepper skakers and the light on them was photo worthy so i snapped a shot off.

On a side note i have aquirred supplies for a darkroom. including projector timer chemicals, trays, lights, bulk film loaders,lighttight black bag and paper. There was also some old camera in the box and one of them had verichrome film that was still in the camera. The film had an expiration date of 1955. I Downloaded the development instructions from Kodak and will see if this film has anything on it. The next post may show the results of that expiriment.

Pictures of the kids

If you have seen my blog you will have noticed that i do not put up many pictures of my kids. personally i don't think i am very good at people shots. but i thought these were funny. Irish needed some goggles for her swimming lessons and they had a two pack at the store so each kid got one. they have been wearing them ever since but not at swimming ironically enough.

lake cresent

So the family went for a drive to a very large lake the other day. it is about 15 road miles to drive to the other side of it. there are very few places to stop. on the trees of those few places are madrone trees filled with tree graffiti.
