One of my last classes this semester was a photography class. Old fashioned black and white film photography, where you get to go to the dark room and develop your own pictures.
I really liked this class and even when sometimes it was a lot of work and time consuming.
It's so much faster to just snap a picture and look at it right away in the camera and decide if it's worth keeping or no.
The magic of B&W film photography is when you take out the film from the tank and you see that there are some pictures on it. And when you can tell that not all of them are underexposed. And later when you dip the paper in the developer, you wait a second or two and all for sudden a picture starts popping out - not always the best quality right away, but after several attempts of configuring the right aperture, right time and right contrast filter you get out of the dryer something you can be actually proud of.
(long sentence, if anyone has a suggestion how to shorten it, email me)
Even though I didn't excel in this class (shocking, I know) I enjoyed it very much and I'm going to miss it.
Next couple posts are my final portfolio pictures. Feel free to leave a comment - professional or not.
