< wouldn't it be nice if the world was cadbury | posted at 9:04 pm on May 08, 2004 > so i've got that damn stagnant feeling again, a blerdy blerdy bler.my first published photographs went to print yesterday, but they suck, so that's annoying, isn't it? i am home tonight. can't really verbalise right now.
to buy list: unfortunately these items together will cost me a great deal of moolah, which i do not have. yesterday we did a test shoot for our creative techs film (you know, just a whole lot of bracketing) on the bolex, when i crept into my wardrobe at 2am in the morning to unload it, i realised i'd be exposing the non-emulsion side. fucker. well, it's really the uni's fault - they gave us double sprocketed film instead of single, if it was single sprocketed there wouldn't have been a problem and i'm not used to double sprocket so i loaded it wrong. ok yes i am justifying, but it also reduces our frame size, fuckers! there's no need for double sprocket on a bolex!! so today was a whole lot of lightmeter readings, pictures of cups (don't ask) and a colour chart, and since i didn't have a model, taking film of myself. yes, taking film of myself, last time i checked handheld 16mm film cameras from the 70s don't have those funky flippy digital LCD screens, so after elaborate framing i'm just hoping it'll turn out. then i fell asleep until i was VERY rudely awoken by next door's friend who told me in the most long-winded fashion that next door was having a surprise birthday part on the roof at 7 which i could give less of a fuck about and told him as much so. well, not really. i told him, 'couldn't you have just left a note?!?' i'd had no sleep this was at about 5pm so yes i was pissed off. yeah. those last five |
