so close, yet so far

A month and a half ago, I resolved to finish that pesky roll of film before school started. So much for that plan! Time for a new one: going out with a friend on Sunday to finally knock it out. I'm curious to see the difference between this shot and the film version. I'm hoping that the distortion will be nonexistent with the better glass on my 35mm, but I really have no clue about my exposure settings. I sure hope my light meter was accurate!

I'm not nearly as driven to take shots, process, and post them lately. Since school began anew in September, I've taken my Nikon out for a walk rarely. When I do, I've been having trouble with the motivation aspect of my craft. I'm not seeing things like I used to, or sadly when I do, my camera is nowhere nearby. I think I need a change of pace. Inspired by Todd Metcalfe's Android-powered month of black and whites and Scott Bulger's awesome black and white work, I am challenging myself with something retro new.

I went to Dominion Camera in Falls Church and bought two rolls of black and white film for my Canon AE-1. With tonight's predicted snow, I have the opportunity to carefully craft some shots. I'll share them when they're done. Cheers!
