Earlier tonight, I got to play my first Video game in more than 12 months, and as a bonus, it was L4D. Fuck yeah.
Also, I'm not living with the hambeast anymore, and Plan to cut off all contact with her, if absolutely possible. I will never have to deal with that shit ever, ever again.
For the record, I did just have my quote button oddly slam Timo's avatar and post into a thread when I didn't highlight or quote his post at all. Nine, am sorry.
Nah, you had selected his post, and avatar, forgot about it, hit the quote button on what I assume was Jay's post. User error. Also, we cannot trust your word anymore since you've already convinced yourself you did nothing wrong. It's like those idiots who blame the computer for shutting down when they told it to shut down.

I nailed my midterm today. It's totally my first gradschool midterm, as well as my first real midterm in 2 years, so it's a bit of an accomplishment to my mind.
I have truly become a photographer today as I just developed my first reel of film for the very first time the old fashioned way. I think Scott's comments which consisted of "Oh, such poison those chemicals and the smelliness of the chemicals." applied 100 percent here. They smelled rancid and it was pretty tough to do but I did it, so I feel that's a big accomplishment for someone my age in a world where digital cameras take the magic out of taking and manually developing your own photos.

Have you ever developed your own photos manually before? It's more authentic and it actually makes you feel like you did something instead of just clicked the shutter button all willy-nilly.

Try developing a color film, then we'll talk about magic...

I only know how to develop TRX-400 B/W film. How is the process different for developing color film.

You have 3 more chemicals very specific for the film you are developing, they have to be at a certain temperature and you have to move the drum at a certain constant speed for a VERY specific amount of time, there is a HUUUUGE risk for screw-ups, it takes forever, you have to read the tables so that depending on the temperature, you have to add a certain amount here and there and the times change... its a drag. B/W is almost fool proof.
Don't get me started on actually blowing up the pictures, because you have to do all sorts of tests with all sorts of chemicals as well.

How is it more authentic? I think that's just your bias talking. It's archaic technology -- being older does not make it more authentic.
And tinkering with archaic technology has been bad when? Also I question your use of the word technology as there is no one step even remotely similar to technology when you manually develop a film. I think it's just your ignorance talking, try it out, it's a lot of fun.
Yupa's use of the word "authentic" makes me want to make tons of Hipster Runoff references.
Jeeze, can we lay off the hipsters already. How was hipster derived from my use of the word authentic?
"hipsterism fetishizes the authentic"
Not calling you a hipster, but I've been conditioned by that blog to the point where I start laughing anytime anyone talks about the pursuit of the "authentic".

Dunno man, it's just like, when you're seeing the world through a fisheye lens, and bringing it back to life under a single light bulb covered in red cellophane, everything seems so much more real. Like when you buy thrift store jeans that have real wear on them. But I only shoot through a '67 Nikon, man. Vintage gear just feels more real.
The sad thing is that I have friends who talk like that.
I'm still rocking the CRT for that more authentic computer experience. On a serious note, my dad has a pair of CRTs stockpiled because he, for some bizarre reason, prefers them to TFTs..
If anyone in the Leeds area has a spare monitor, I'd be very grateful.
I'm going to a birthday party this weekend in which we have to dress like hipsters. This should be interesting. I hate hipsters with a passion, so I might punch someone.

And when it comes to medium format and above, there is no comparison yet.
