A while ago, I failed three rolls of film in a row. For two of these I bravely admit to user error (you may recall Power Lifters); for the third, I will passive-aggressively mention that I think they hired a lot of new people at my preferred film lab (although, really, that one was my fault, too).
This caused me to retreat to the old familiars: a film that requires no thought, a lens that won’t scold, “techniques” I learned back in semester 1 of junior high photo class*, subjects I’ve seen so many times I could probably not even aim and they’d turn out all right.
(See?!)
At least I didn’t start taking pictures of *gag*hack*glrg*…”kittehs.”

Really amazing pictures!
Thanks, rabirius!
Very cool. I always love your pictures. :)
:-) Thanks, David — I can always use the moral support!!
Oh!!! That’s terrible.
I like a lot all the the last two shots.
I don’t want know about your possibilities but developing b&w is really simple and rewarding. COlor film is just as easy although you need a strict control of the temperature. I am my own “preferred film lab”; that means that if I make any mistake I can’t blame on anyone else but myself!
Yeah, I recently purchased the basic supplies for developing my b&w negs, but I haven’t yet found the time to get started. I haven’t done my own film developing in many, many years, but I hope I haven’t forgotten everything. You’re right, if we’re our own film labs, at least we’ll know where the mistakes are made!
I currently have a chest infection and my asthma is almost off the scale so laughing so hard as I just did at that wonderful *kittens* sentence probably endangered my life.
Seriously… you made my day!!!
:-) Tee-hee! I mean — Oh, no! Well, I guess it’s better to nearly die laughing…
But really, kiwi, if I’m ever reduced to taking “cutesy” pictures, you know it’s over for me!
