so, fuck walgreens. never, never, never again.
i ended up getting a full refund for the three rolls of film that turned out so shitty on disc. i took the negatives so maybe someone can develop them without ruining them. or maybe i should just learn to develop my own fucking film!
so at least i know it's not my camera. the most awesome part was when i came in for the refund, telling the clerk in no uncertain terms that their digitized images can suck my dick, he said "okay, we can test if it's actually the film or if it's just the digital image by sliding your disc into this computer here and printing out a trial photo from it.." DUH!!!? what you're going to get is a print of a shitty digital image, dumbass. ooh the public.. the public.... i should never go out in public.......

Let me get this straight ...
They develop the negs and put the images directly on CD ??
Don't bother with learning to develop Color negatives ...
It's a pain in the neck ... B/W on the other hand was fun !

yeah they have options like "CD With Two Prints" "CD Only" and all my photos were ones I just wanted to email to my friends so I just got the CD (and the negatives, thank fuck).

samps, have you ever done any 19th century printing processes like cyanotypes, vandykes, et cetera? it's pretty easy to make a negative (whatever size you want since they're contact printing methods) and print it out on plastic magic... and the chemical recipes are pretty damn simple too. i love people who still make photos oldskool style. digital is great and all, but there's something about the negative... and negs carry so much more detail.

playing with potential hazardous chemicals? i'm all over it.
seriously.. it sounds daunting. maybe when we get our own house and i can devote a basement to mad scientist experiments/darkroom/gimp closet.

it's really not too difficult. for example, cyanotypes only require two chemicals easily obtainable, two light proof bottles, an eyedropper, and a foam brush. you can actually order papers precoated with cyanotype emulsion from freestyle.com, too. but that's a rip off. anyway, when you get a house hit me up for the recipes.
i've been feeling more domestic and desirous of home ownership lately... mostly so i can go nuts with paint and plaster and really make a stamp on my environment.

Cool pics, JAC. For a guy well into his forties, you're not showing too much wear ... or at least you're wearing it pretty well!

The smiles are diffucult for me to conjure. It just feels so fake to me when you're expected to put one on when you know the camera is aimed at you. Catch me unawares and my smiles are not unbearable, but I can't stand to look at myself "smiling for the camera"...
