Darktable Negative Inversion

We took a trip to Italy recently and I brought along my Ricoh XR-7 and ten rolls of film. During the trip, I ended up shooting eight and a half rolls (three color, five black and white). At home, I had three rolls of color film I was holding off on developing until after the […]

Zenobia Camera Test

Picked up a small 120 folder for cheap at a thrift store and put a roll of Kentmere Pan 400 through it to see if the 75-year-old camera could hold its own against my fleet of cameras.

Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

If you were to ask my wife why I do all of the hard things I do, she’ll tell you that it is because I can. And she isn’t wrong. I genuinely love to find out about something new, or old that I should be able to do and then spend days and weeks researching […]

It is fundamental

Things are finally settling down around here. I read my last reading for class this afternoon. I then proceeded to clean the apartment (well except the bathroom because that is a task too big to share). I have three exams and then I am free for the summer. Not free, no it would be wrong […]

As you may have read, I recently landed a job designing a website for a poster shop in town. While I am quite ecstatic to take on this task, it also is a little overwhelming right now (though that could be because I am finishing my hell week with school). I plan on writing the […]

Twenty meters before the end-stop


Blog

I forgot today is Wednesday. Which means I forgot I had to put a comic up. I wrote a paper instead. My apologies. It is up now. I give you this little amusement for reparations. “A poetic duel to the death?” “Haha, that’d be so boring.” Also, I found a sweet chair for use on […]

Apparently is it crunch time here at school. Sadly, today’s comic is quite reflexive of my next couple weeks. I actually think the comic might be an understatement.
