Welcome Back.

Well after I was done with my English class a few semesters ago I kind of stopped blogging and I don't know why because I very much enjoyed it. So I have a lot of blogs to upload still from a long time ago that I typed up but never posted... So here we go!

            I have been testing out my Minolta and it is AWESOME! I feel like such a nerd to be interested in this kind of thing but I don’t care. The funny thing about this camera is that since it’s so old there is dust in the lens, so when I look through the view finder it looks as if I’m looking back in time. It looks like an old 60’s or 70’s film when it looks all grainy. By this little personal effect, I think it gives me a different outlook on my subjects when I focus the camera for a new picture.

            All my pictures show a good progression on how much better I get with using the camera. The only thing I lack is a scanner to get the photos onto the computer. It’s hard to share them without the internet these days. Who uses mail anyways? Bills… Out of convenience and cost I will probably end up using my Sony DSLR. I can easily upload my picture to the computer and I don’t have to spend money for rolls of film or pay for them to get developed.

            For me I guess it can just be a hobby of my hobby. It’s more of a challenge to operate so it makes it a little more fun to work with and I can get into developing my own film. Developing is a very interesting thing to be able to do but it’s something that has to be done with a lot of time to spare. So I guess it’s not always the perfect hobby for a full time student with a part time job.
