title: konica big mini

i finally got some of the pictures from my konica big mini printed. i love them! the tone they all have, that cool greenish-blue! the glory of analog (well, sort-of analog)! the photo-processing guy couldn't say enough about them, too. but i think he may just have wanted to see some good ratings on the customer service survey. you tell me what you think:the full set is on my flickr photostream (see the link at the side). i forsee a lot more of these film scans in the future. let's hear it for outmoded technology! hieperdiepiep! hoorah!

title: a cool thing!

during the town yard sales in the beginning of this month i found a waterlogged strip of 35mm still negatives sitting by the side of the road. i noticed that not all of the images were washed away, so i picked it up and shoved it in my backpack and forgot about it. the other night i was bored so i went through my stuff, and lo and behold, there were the negatives! it was around 2 am and i was already in bed, so i just grabbed my old powershot, opened up my cell phone, and used the screen to backlight the film. with my camera in macro mode i could capture the negative, then i inverted the colors in photoshop. results?
i almost crapped my pants when i saw the second one (figure of speech, people). why are children so scary?

there is one other surviving image on the strip of negatives--i think i'll use my same über-amateur method to capture them. i like doing things that way. post soon to follow!
