Wow, I can’t believe it’s been over 3 months since I’ve posted here. Life has a way of interrupting your progress. Let’s start from where I am right now.<\/p>\n
This semester I’m taking Photography II once again. This time it’s with a different professor and instead of color we are shooting black and white again. This time, however, she wants me printing my work on fiber paper. I’m also being given a cursory introduction to the zone system as well as getting a chance to work with a 4×5 view camera. The view camera is definitely something I am looking forward to using.<\/p>\n
At this point we’re almost halfway through the semester (I told you it’s been a while) and I’ve turned in the project dealing with the zone system. I won’t go into the details of the project itself but I will say I was rather amazed at some of the results I got, especially since the exposures on the different items seemed counterintuitive. I may have to look further into the concept of the zone system, but that will probably wait until after the semester is over.<\/p>\n
Currently I am doing a project on documenting, via photographs, a dream I recently had. This is proving to be a fun little exercise since I get to use my lensbaby in giving the images a dream-like feel. The first shots were actually developed today and are being scanned as I type this. I also made 2 paper prints off the roll in class. I’m curious to see what kind of reactions I get from the other students (all the other students are in Photography I and their current project – landscapes – is nowhere near as fun). You’ll be able to see some of my work over at mt flickr page with my favorite pieces being cross-posted to Primordial Light.<\/p>\n
Well, that’s pretty much it for now. I’ve got some work to do as the scans are almost completed. The first dream roll was shot on the reformulated Tri-X 400 film and I must say I am very impressed with the results so far. To all of you I bid you a good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
