The Film Is On The Way

Oh happy day, the film is on the way!

On Friday I ordered five rolls of 35mm film development from a photo lab in California. I packaged it all up and planned to drop it off at the post office on Saturday before I woke up sick and didn’t leave the couch for the entire weekend.

Today, Monday, I kicked off my lunch break with a drive to the post office downtown where I dropped off my package full of rolls of film and kicked off the anticipation for new film scans. How long will it take to get to the lab? No idea. How long will it take the lab to develop the film? No idea. How long will it take for the lab to get the scans back to me? Again, I have no idea.

I don’t know how long any of the process will take, but I do know that I CAN’T WAIT!!!

In closing, here are two pics of the downtown clock… because.

Two Hours and 10 Minutes

The distance between my home and my office building is 40 miles.

The drive to work today took two hours and 10 minutes.

Un-friggin’-believable.

I followed the traffic avoidance route generated by the Waze app. I feel I may have been in err, as it turned out.

Anyway, here is the house I am going to buy when we hit the gajillion dollar lottery some day. It’s near Minuteman National Park in Concord, MA.

Alliance Park in Amesbury, MA

On the way back from the ocean this morning I stopped at a little park in Amesbury that I found by accident on a similar sunrise photo journey about a year ago. Again, I don’t like any of these. I feel sad. I did take some film shots though so maybe those will make me happy when I get the roll developed at some point in the next 100 years or so.

This is the Merrimack River.

This little river that dumps into the Merrimack is called the Powwow River, according to Google Maps.

In closing, the little church across the street is nice too.

Sunrise

I made it to Salisbury Beach this morning. I took a bunch of pics and I don’t like any of them. I had the ISO set way too high because I set it high when I’m at home and I always forget to lower it when I go outside. It ruined all of my long exposures. Blah.
