dodge and burn

img_5694.jpgJust got back from my second evening in the darkroom and it’s getting pretty fun. I took a new roll of b&w last weekend and had the roll processed in time for today’s class but I was a dummy and left it at home. *sigh* So we printed some of my negatives from 1995, which didn’t come out too bad. I guess I’ll get to play with the new negs next week. We spent a good 2.5 hours in the lab printing and processing. We’re just getting the basics down but I’ve already dodged and burned some of my photos to make them look a little more interesting. Fun fun fun!

Props to all y’all

It’s National High Five Day and I certainly gotta give it up to the members of our *isofosho* Flickr group. We’re on our third theme, “Lemme See Yo’ Ride“, and the first day of voting has gotten off to a good start. We average about 20 submissions each time and the photos have been really interesting. It’s so neat to see everyone’s interpretation of the theme.  It’s also fun to see which ones get voted for and why. So, here’s a *high five* to all my fellow photogs!! Keep ’em comin’!

If you wish to join, just log in to Flickr with your Yahoo! login address and ask to join our group. Some just submit photos, some just vote, some just watch the action, and some do it all! Come play with us!

Let’s walk to dinner!

Uh, that’s something you don’t normally hear in suburbia but that’s what we did tonight.  Jes and I went out to dinner with Jay and Nikki (our neighbors) and we walked there.  In New York City it comes so naturally but in a city where BMWs and minivans rule, it’s another story.  Luckily, we live close to a number of decent restaurants so we walked down to Lucca Cafe.  They serve tapas-sized dishes and a large selection of wines.  My favorites were the pappardelle and butternut squash ravioli.  We also tried a reisling and a pinot noir that were both pretty good.  Dessert was a banana cake with dark chocolate and a key lime mousse.  Yum yum.
