Got some time in the darkroom today. Got to do some work on the bridge project, and as a bonus there's also some lilypads.

Got some more darkroom time on Saturday. It took me most of the time I had, but I managed to figure out how to get this print closer to where I wanted it. Significantly improved the highlights and contrast, without losing the grass. Ended up with a full page of notes.

Got some darkroom time in today. I'm not completely satisfied with these, but they'll do. The darkroom closes early on the weekend, so I was pretty limited on time.

Bonus photos, the areas around both bridges were absolutely gorgeous. Also some truly incredible graffiti that I think I legit might hang on my wall.

I went out to Kent last week to take yet more photos of covered bridges. Sadly there weren't any good angles for my large format camera at Bull's Bridge, so all the decent photos are with my Yashica TLR. The bridge at Kent Falls State Park on the other hand was quite easy to shoot.

First attempt at hand coloring photos with oil paints. It's got that old timey postcard look, and I'm loving it.

Finally got around to scanning Friday's prints. Got to spend aa good 6 hours there and it was so nice to get away from work for a bit.

Couple more I developed last night. I like these a lot. Except for whatever that is at the top of the last image. Looks like a light leak, but with a super defined shape. Also it looks like that sheet slid around in the holder when I was loading it.

Had a great time taking portraits of @feralgoblinbri.bsky.social today! Still have a few sheets of 4x5 to develop. Here are a couple of the standouts from the day. Planning to print a few next week.

Had a friend over to model for me. Feels a little strange to tell your friend/coworker "we're going for mommy dom with this shot" but whatever. This is a weird hobby. Gonna develop everything later tonight and hopefully get some prints in the darkroom next week.

I'm bringing so many foreign ideas into the country and no one can stop me.

Had a friend over to try out my new portrait setup, which means it's now time for some shitty phone scans!

Went to the park with a friend and a very old and very shitty camera today. Walked like 3 miles and took a bunch of photos. Let's see if any of them come out!

Some prints from my trip to the Huckleberry Hill Bridge at Countryside Park in Avon, CT last September. I brought two cameras with me, my Crown Graphic and my EOS. These were my favorite photos from each camera.

I picked up a scanner so I can start posting nice scans of my prints. I'm still fiddling with it to figure out what settings work well, and how high I need to set the resolution if I want to post things online. (I can definitely go higher than this one, but I need to get to bed).

The more I look at it and think about it, the more I'm convinced this is actually some of my best work, and it was originally a #shittycamerachallenge submission. I liked it so much I printed it last week at the darkroom, and now it's hanging on my wall.

At a friend's place this weekend, and he just casually drops "oh, I've got a bunch of old camera stuff from my parents/grandparents. Want to see it?"
Ended up getting gifted this fun little toy. I had to glue the ring on the lens barrel back on, and clean it up a bit. Looking forward to trying it.

I started doing photography with no training like a year and a half ago. I'm still not great at it, but I think I'm getting better.
