Photography

Photography is something that's interested me for a while. I can't claim that I'm any good at it, but it keeps me entertained and out of trouble. I've been known to use various cameras, but right now I'm pretty hooked on the one below, given to me by my dad (well, the body at least). It's renewing my love of 35mm film (the alternative being larger film, not digital cameras... although the digital point & shoot we've got did make a nice picture of my camera).

I shoot almost exclusively black and white film, and develop it myself in the basement. Developing film yourself is cheap and easy, and it's not hard to do a better job than a professional photo lab. Well, to be fair I'm probably not doing a better job so much as processing the film to my own liking, which a lab would probably do if I explained exactly what I wanted. But it's fun to do it yourself. You can see some of the results, such as they are, right here. I don't get around to printing/scanning nearly enough of my photos.
