Bitter/Sweet

Film photography is a bitter/sweet thing.

It is so fun not knowing what your pictures are going to turn out like until you develop them, but then again, it can be tough. You don't know if the lighting is the best or if you should change something like you can with a digital camera.

I love developing my own images, because if you don't like how dark a part of an image is you can lighten it up! But if there is a pole in an image, you can't just photoshop it out. You have to live with it.

Which can be frustrating.

For my last film photography assignment we were assigned to take some portraits of a person. I had such a hard time trying to figure out what to do and who to photograph for this project.

A t the very last minute, the day the assignment was due, I asked one of my girlfriends from my ward if she would be my model. She is 31 weeks pregnant, tiny and gorgeous so it wasn't hard to photograph her.

She was such a good sport! We took these around 7:30am, in freezing water and she was happy to do it! Thanks again Erin!

(I had the negatives copied onto a disc at Target. I don't have a scanner, so I can't scan the originals. So they aren't the best quality, but I wanted to share.)
