Back in the saddle!

Alright guys, the semester has begun and the initial "Oh my god I am so overwhelmed" has more or less past. (Except for Steve's paper and a final proposal for portraiture due this week) I am happily making images again.

New Gear as of yesterday:

105 mm f2.4 lens for my Pentax 6x7

10 rolls of Kodak 160NC 120 film

That's about all i need i guess. I just finished a roll testing out the new lens and I should be able to develop it tomorrow depending on how much snow Bridger Bowl gets. Either way I will be scanning negs this week and I hope to have a new image up by Friday. Keep an eye out this semester for images from my portraiture class, and i will try and be better about scanning in my alternative process work.

Forced Development

This break has been full of photography, but very little of it has been mine. I have started a new blog called Forced Development. It is an online photo gallery of student work. So far Jace Becker, Megan Dunbar, and Ryan Kirk have been showcased. My good friend Collin Avery's "Vend" series starts tomorrow. Check it out and tell your friends!

Well dang this break has been great!

But i am ready to start taking pictures again.
