Another Day, Another Roll of Film!

-

 Another day, another set of film rolls to develop! I hopped into the studio today and spent just about all of my four hours working to organize my photos and start thinking of what my final presentation may look like. I developed the film from yesterday's expeditions and brainstormed what style of photography I had enjoyed most so far: landscapes, candids of friends, or nature. As of right now I have not printed any photos yet so I cannot determine which photos will produce the highest quality print, but I hypothesize it will be nature. Unfortunately, that is the style I am liking the least. I have been loving taking landscape photos and capturing candids of friends as they feel more emotional and special to me. My plan for the next week is to do a photoshoot with my friend Eliza inspired by Marilyn Monroe and to do a two day camping trip with my friends. I have not really done a photoshoot before or taken a lot of candids, I expect that both opportunities will provide me with a million chances to really find out what works and what I enjoy.

The Final Blog

-
       Welcome to my final blog of senior project! I picked up right where I left off yesterday by continuing to organize which photos would be used in my presentation tomorrow and what wouldn't. I had to separate some of the photos that had damaged, duplicates, or were too dark or too light. For example, the three photos below are all from the same negative, however they were exposed to different light and cropped differently. I had to pick one of the pictures to use in my final poster board, I felt the top left was the right choice.  After doing this with any other duplicates, I started to lay out my poster boards. I used the four themes, nature, people, Eliza, and landscape. I taped down the prints rather than gluing because I want to be able to take them off after I present the photos.  I played around with different formats and laid the photos many different watts before I felt satisfied. I then cut the poster board to the size of the collage I had pie...

The Photos Come to Life

-
  What an amazing day dedicated to printing the photos I have been taking the past few weeks! I have not yet printed because we needed to replace some of the chemicals in the dark room. Once they arrived, Kate replenished them and I was clear to start working. My anticipation to see the photos of yesterday's photoshoot and Quechee Gorge was through the roof. I was quite the busy bee trying to hustle and print all of my favorite photos.  At first, my excitement took over me and I grew a little impatient so my first few prints were either damaged, chemically incorrect, or the wrong lighting. Fortunately, after some time I paused and forced myself to slow down because I could feel frustration building up. When I had relaxed, the process became a lot smoother and I could really see my photos come to life! I found myself so focused and engaged with my work I hadn't even realized how much time had passed. The time to wrap up my day quickly crept up on me and I had to begin cleanin...
