nothing is wrong - what are you scared of?
So starting on Thursday of last week our school held its annual mamiya day and weekend out door trip to yellowstone and the beartooths. Basically our photography program hosts the mamiya camera corp. and they bring in tens of thousands of dollars worth of cameras including some 25-28 megapixel cameras. They provided us with as much film as we want, which includes slide film, 120 color and bw, and polaroid backs.

I am in love with those film cameras.

thought i'd share.

actually I only shot with that camera once for about 5 mins, but I should have my 120 film processed by the end of the weekish.. I am not allowed to process bw film yet apparently. My intro to photo class is doing digital first for some reason while all of the others are developing and printing already.

big news!

the 120 film that is being processed will be submitted to mamiya for evaluation. If they like a shot or two they just might get it published in some sort of magazine/book or website! I am not sure if any of my stuff turned out yet, but what a way to start out a photography resume!

it should be done developing tomorrow sometime.
