Fantastic Plastic Machine – Tell me
Today I had a first of two photography field trip to San Francisco. Lot of walking, talking photo for projects, but since my SLR camera was under repair, I used my digital camera (which he allowed us to used anyways). We’re going to use Photoshop CS$ to edit these images (surprised that our school even have it, seeing that we had Photoshop 7 for the past how many year). I personally failed because I a) forgot to recharge the battery for the camera the night before, and b) left it on for too long and it died on me way too early in the trip.
We visited to Ryoko Gallery (located at 348 3rd Street), before going to the SFMoma. I was surprised that such gallery existed. It was small and pretty neat. I think it is redecorating at the moment.
We stayed pretty much in the downtown area of San Francisco; wandering around, taking pictures, waiting to go to SFMoma. We went in after lunch, and since it is the first Tuesday of the month, the entrance fee was free. I paid the extra $5 fto go to the Richard Avedon gallery, which I thought which was pretty neat and was worth it.
After I get these photo developed, I’ll find some time to stick them on here, along with a scavenger huny project that I’ve worked on and needs developing.
So, I finally got the light leak problem fixed. Now my photo teacher offers to bring it to the camera store for me and get it fixed.Now after days (maybe a week or two) of worrying about my camera, my problem is all fix…
Well, there goes all me effort on taping…But hey, now I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
edit: actually, only about a week or so
Well, I’ve gone through two rolls of film now, and apparently there is a dam light leak on my camera. Pretty much there is a black streak on all the picture (except for the ones where I took a picture of a sky) for my first roll. The second roll isn’t as bad because I taped up the side with black tape. Although there are a few pictures affected by it, it wasn’t as bad as the first roll.
I feel quite lucky because I have a extra camera around that I’ve lent to a friend. If the problem happens again on my third roll on the extra camera, then perhaps it’s my problem.
I’ve failed to develop my film properly for the past two times and I think that’s the problem, but my teacher just side that it’s a light leak in the camera.
Well, we’ll see.
If anyone live in the Bat Area of California or heard about the weather here, you’ll know that a tropical storm pretty much hit the area. I, personally, am not a huge fan of this weather, and rather prefer the sunshine over this. I know it’s a good thing to have rain, but with all the gray clouds and really wet atmosphere, I would really love to just stay in bed all day and sleep through the weather. The rain is good for me to just unwind and listen to something soft and calming.
Now today, the sun came out from the dark morning, but was engulfed by the clouds once more by 6 pm. This weather is too fickle and not constant enough. This is what I don’t like about the weather in the Bay Area!!! STOP BEING FICKLE!!! (pointless yelling at nature now eh~~)
Personally, I am quite surprise at how many people actually call me cute and hot, and I’m not quite sure if their joking or not, but it’s more people than I thought there was (even thought there aren’t many, that’s really more then I expect). This ties right into my portraits because I’ve placed them on Facebook as well, and I’m by some few comments I got. Am I really that hot and/or cute?
This year, I’m taking beginning photography offered at my school. Finally I’m able to get around to it. Beginning photo is one of the elective class I actually look forward to, along with some other classes that I didn’t get like psychology.
Anyways, our first project involves us creating our own pinhole camera with a Pringles can. This is what I’ve created with it:
Perhaps this will be the beginning of my photography career?
