Film Shopping

Should I go over to amazon and order some less expensive not-quite professional film like Kodak Gold or ColorPlus, or should I buy fewer rolls of better, professional level film like Kodak Portra 400 or Ilford HP5?

Probably go with the cheaper stuff. I am a super amateur hack, after all.

That’s the Everest ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. From a distance, of course. I don’t think we’re going to spend much time at Animal Kingdom when we go back in September. Half a day, maybe? We had it all planned out but I haven’t updated the calendar yet. I’ll get to it soon, of course.

Film is fun, but it’s expensive. I remember when it was super cheap. Back in the old days, before digital cameras.

Stormtrooper on Film

Here’s a shot of a stormtrooper on film.

I put it on the film blog too. Why? I just don’t want it to die. If I can’t just reblog from one to the other, I will once in a while just post to both.

I didn’t go out this morning. I have done my exercise and had my breakfast. I am going to take a shower and then work on music. That’s the plan. I want to go to Boston. I doubt I will, but I want to. Maybe just go for a walk during golden hour and snap a few pics? We’ll see. There’s a golden hour before sunset too, not just after sunrise. We’ll see.

Film

Where should I bring the film cameras tomorrow? I was thinking of downtown Lowell, or downtown Andover, or any other place that I mentioned 20 times in blog posts over the last week.

But… what about Boston? Early on a Sunday morning before anyone gets up or anyone who isn’t insane drives into town. Do I dare?

Here’s a pic from Disney World because I think my film only blog is dead now that reblogging was screwed up by a WordPress.com code change that no one asked for. Or at least one that I didn’t ask for.

AT-AT

AT-AT

ADDENDUM: Yup, this is my last reblog. Now the question is, does the film blog die a slow death as the main blog starts getting all the film posts? That seems likely. Thanks for nothing, wordpress.com.

What Should I Do?

Addendum: WordPress.com seems to have changed the reblog editor. Doesn’t this just suck? Next time I’ll put the image first and see how that goes, but if it’s not going to display the image in the reblog snippet, I am not going to cross post anymore. The image is the whole point. Shit.

Two Things

Two things to note. First, we’re going back to Disney World in September. It’ll be just for a few days and I haven’t decided if I am bringing a film camera again. Second, I sent two rolls of film to the lab! New film shots coming soon, I hope!
