MOVING

I am moving my blog to a new address. The over all look of it is still in the works, but from now on i will be doing all of my posts over there. I just felt that I couldn't show my photos as large as I would like them to be on screen on this blog. I hope to see you all there...

My Parents Backyard...

TMax 100 Black and White, Summer 1997

Posts are going to start going crazy around here. I have been busy scanning my little heart out. I started at 7.30 this morning and have already done 3 rolls today alone. That makes 11 scanned and a few thousand left to go. This one is only from roll 4 or 5 though. I hope you guys are enjoying my flash back to my early years of photography. Its a long long road to catch up with todays rolls...

More Yearbook Camp 1997

Apparently I liked taking bike photos even when I was 16. I took a photo of this one because it had a purple octopus on its back rim. All of these were taken with TMax 100 Black and White at OSU summer 1997.

A few different angles of a statue I liked on campus.

Other students at camp developing their rolls in the dark room.

Yearbook Camp . Summer 1997

So yes, I was a super dork in high school. I was head photographer of our yearbook my Junior and Senior year and the summer before Senior year our yearbook advisor sent me and the editor, Stephanie Hughes to a week long Yearbook Camp at OSU. It was a little more fun than it sounds, mainly for me because I didn't have to sit through all of the lectures and workshops and such, the rest of the photographers from other schools got to wander and round and take photos and play in the darkroom most of the days. We also had an assignment before showing up to camp, to take a roll of film so we had something to develop on our first day. I took a few photos in our backyard and then went for a hike in the woods behind my parents house in Camas with my dog Maggie. Since I only had TMax 100 film and the trail was quite dark with over growth, most of the photos didn't turn out in the slightest, but this one was always my favorite of the group [even though its blurry].
