"El Cielo Es Azúl…"

So after two days in the darkroom, I enlarged three photos and uploaded two of them here. They're both from that day when back when when the whole class pretty much just played around in all that garbage behind the school.


Here's Cassie standing next to a dumpster. Sorry, no arty, poetic titles or anything. I can never think of good titles for anything. As far as the picture goes, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like it, I guess. I was pretty proud of the fact that it showed up at all, so go figure.

Can you guess what this one is? People seem to be having a little trouble with that and, I've got to say, I like that. Enigmas make me happy. Anyway, it's water in a piece of industrial tubing (I think that's the right word for what it was.) I really like it compositionally, but there are scratches and stuff from my dirty negatives and it's not exactly centered. I guess I could work on that if I really wanted to, I just don't know. I was surprised by how much I liked the photograph when it developed, so I don't exactly have an attachment to it. It's not like I was dying to see it in full. Maybe I'll work more on it… I don't know. It's been a little tough for me to work on anything lately.

YEAH! it is great to see some darkroom stuff here...or anywhere. I have to say again...I'd really love to see you work on these, or at least one to get a really good finished print. I'd love to see your contact sheet to see what else you got. I really like the "enigma" picture, and would love to help you make a really good print of it. I'm excited!

I like my picture except that my face looks like a man but the chain is pretty cool. And the second one is just awesome I love it. I think the scratches and stuff on it make it better personally.
