my goal!

That I have yet to start on is.... to take one roll of pictures a week. Yes, I still use a film camera, I'm old fashioned in some ways, and that's one of them. I think there's a certain level of skill to take good pictures both digitally and with film. But digital almost feels like cheating sometimes because you can always alter stuff with it if you have the right software programs. Film seems more harsh and judgmental in the sense that, what you took is what you get, period! So, I've been kinda broke lately, but today's payday! Yay, so that means I need to make a stop to pick up some film. I've been thinking about heading over to Mare Island around dusk... I like old buildings and with some of the stuff they have, could make an interesting skyline with the sun going down. Also need to bust out my tripod and do some night photography again. The refineries should be an interesting setting for night time. My ex actually had that idea, so i owe the asshole some credit there, but he never acted on it. My mom says refineries at night make her think of a fairyland. Personally, they remind me of those little green guys villages in fraggle rock... you know, the things they ate.
