Ducky and Ellie take on film

 So I realized that I have a ton of test strips and I need to figure out what to do with them all. I need to figure out if I want to do another art project with them or something. Here is a picture of them all:  I also just wanted to do a but of reflection from the semester. I have really enjoyed working with black and white film this semester, there are lots of things that I really liked about this class. One of the things that was challenging is that the supplies is so expensive but I don't think there is a way around that. I did a lot of my own printing for friends and family for Christmas gifts and I am really excited to see what everyone thinks.  One of the things I found interesting was the idea of fixing the pinhole photos or the 35mm photos in photo shop to take out some of the dust or other things that may have gotten on the film when really when you are thinking about film and committing to taking film photos I feel like you are committing to those blemishes and...

 For my typology I sort of have been taking pictures since the beginning of the semester and I didn't have my license until pretty recently so I found myself taking pictures of my friends who were driving me around. The last picture is of me because I finally got my license and can now drive all of my friends around which is really exciting. Some of the photos came out a little bit dark but it was hard because the lighting was always different for each photo and things were moving in the background as well so it was a little bit challenging but I do like how they all turned out and it is a bunch of my lovely friends which is very exciting. 

 I did two sequences because one of them was reliant on the weather, the first one is of three trees, one with its leaves, one without leaves and one with snow on it.  The second sequence is of my cat, she is inside then outside roaming around in the other photos.  I really enjoyed working on this project, I found waiting for the perfect weather to get the tree photos was a lot of fun.

 These are two film photos that I took then got developed at a local store. I really like to have prints of all of my photos because I like to have physical copies. The photo on the left is taken from the streets in Thailand in 2019 and the photo on the right is taken from the top of mount Hoffman in Kananaskis in the summer of 2021. They are on opposite ends of the earth and represent opposite vibes. One is in the city and one is in the backcountry. They are yes and no because they are opposing.
