I'm one week out from posting a photograph a day. The past couple weeks have been filled with digging though boxes in the attic, cleaning negatives, scanning and attempting to remember when I took these pictures. Most of them I'll only be able to narrow down to a season and a year, like spring 1996 for all my slides that I toke in college. Others I have a petty good idea that they are Dec 25, but I don't know the year.
One thing I've learned is that I need to go buy some good film. I've shot three rolls of film and developed two of them. This is film that's been sitting in my camera bag for a couple years. Something is wrong with it. I've still got 5 or 6 rolls left to use up but I'm not sure I want to wait until they are gone before shooting a roll with some brand new high quality 35mm film. Also I need to check the battery in my camera light meter, it's only a couple bucks to replace and it will give me piece of mind that the metering is correct (since it seems that everything I've done lately is underexposed)
I've been looking at digital SLR cameras on the Internet toying with the idea of picking one up. Pentax does have a few DSLR camera, but I'm just not as impressed with them as I am with the Cannons. I would like to get a nice I just can't justify the price. I just purchased a nice 7 mega-pixel point and shoot camera for my wife and with Christmas coming in a few months I'll just have to save, wait and hint.
One thing that has vastly improved in this experiment is my scanning abilities. At first I though it was nothing more then putting the print or negative on the scanner and pushing a button. Now I've learned the hard way about keeping your scanner and scannie clean and how to correct all the underexposed negatives.
Next updating my blog software with a custom theme and finding a better format for my posts.
