Photos!

[badseed1980]

Yay! Today I get to pick up my corset portraits!

My friend Mike took them on Saturday night. He's a photography student at NESOP, and one of the few people who I can trust to both a) take a good picture, and 2) help me dress and undress. :) I'll be scanning them all (I hope) and sending hard copies to pierceheart. They're all black-and-white, which is what Mike prefers to use. I'm meeting him at the photo shop down the street in 15 minutes. Man, I hope they turned out well!

I will when I get them, if I can find someone to scan them for me. They weren't ready yet. :( I have to go back later today and check again. They had to send them out to a lab because he used professional film.

"because he used professional film."

What the heck does that mean?? Any photo place should be able to develop 35mm film, and the better stuff isn't any different to develop than the cheap stuff. Unless, that is, you want Kodak finishing process over CVS regular or something...

Can't wait to see them when you post...

Well, this wasn't CVS. But I think they do need to use a different finishing process, or some such thing. I'm sure Mike could explain it to me. His response when I told him they had to send it out for that reason wasn't surprised, or anything, more "Oh, yeah, they would have to do that."

It's not CVS, it's Old Town Camera. I think they can process regular B&W, but not this kind.

No, you're right--the processing is completely different. I've developed black and white film, not color, because color processing is far more complicated with chemicals and not something they let students do. Which is my point--B&W is far simpler to do, you'd think they could.
Oh well.
I gave that up, I may do as much as playing with a digital camera and Photoshop in the future--being an artist is bad for one's health--lots o' fumes. Jim Eng would beat me if he heard I went back to a PHD camera...
