Wonderfully Flustered
Alright, so excellent news!!!! Firstly, I had a waffle for breakfast. Secondly, I was way behind the rest of my photography class because my film kept being the wrong kind, impossible to find and buy or it kept going threw the camera wrong, not to mention that week I was sick. Everyone already had a ton of prints and I hadn't even developed any film yet. I was so flustered and scared even though Chris said he wouldn't fail me because I'm trying so hard. All the same, it's not cool to turn in nothing time and time again. So, I used some of the film my parents sent me (which turns out to be the only time I used the right film and they just happened to get it in a store that doesn't exist where I live) and I had Chris watch me put it in the camera. Then I went and took a million pictures and I thought Chris could help me develop them but it was a critic day. That means that all the kids that have prints (everyone but me) gets to have their pictures complimented by the rest of the class all day. I thought he could help me after class develop my pictures but he went straight home so I developed them all by myself! I did have a few break downs (I cried in the dark room like 3 times because I couldn't open the film canister, than I couldn't roll the film on the reel [it took me 20 minutes to do]) and I thought that there wouldn't be any pictures on the film because I couldn't get the dark room door to close all the way. HOWEVER!!! THERE WERE MANY A PICTURES TO BEHOLD! I also met a very nice woman who pressured me into also learning how to print today. I wasn't even planning on getting that far! But I became almost fully proficient in printing! I printed 8 pictures and I did more than half of that all by myself because she had to go somewhere. And they all turned out! One of them was a smidge blurry but none of them were under or over exposed! I went to photo class at 1 and left the photo lab at 7. That's 6 hours! That's a shift at my old job! And it flew by! I still can't believe it was that long, it didn't feel like it. Do you know what this means!? It means I chose the right career! It means I can do this and my job will fly by like I'm not even working! I can be a glorious photographer! And love it! And never regret it! The world is my oyster! Also, it was a photography class assignment to create a blog but I clearly already have one so as long as I figure out how to upload pictures here, my home work is done!
