No captions yet, but I think you'll understand it

If anyone asks, I might complete the obnoxious task of putting the captions in there too.

Lemme know what ya think.

This evening, I shot two-hundred-and-fifty-nine photographs. Actually, it was probably a bit more. I average 38 frames per roll. That makes it closer to 266 shots.

It feels good. I shot seven rolls of quality film in my quality camera with my quality lens, and I feel in my gut that I got a lot of quality shots. I felt it, that eeling of knowing what you're doing, of seeing the photographs that tell the story.

I saw the photographs in my head before I shot them. I shot a lot of crap too, I admit it, but I shot by reflex. I adjusted the settings and moved the camera to frame the shot so that what I saw in the viewfinder matched the photo in my head.

7 rolls of high quality film : $42 dollars
Processing 7 rolls of film : $37 dollars
Money earned from shooting : $0 dollars
Creating something I'm proud of : Priceless

(Corny, yes, but that's how I feel)

Look for the photos to be published soon along with my latest studio shots.
