Gritty and Ugly

Those are the words I would use to describe my latest attempt at developing b&w. It was 1230am last night and I wanted to load the film before going to bed, so I doused the lights and fumbled around in complete darkness trying to load the film. It didn't take. Tried again..and again...and again until I finally just jammed the end of film in, wrapped it around the canister,
and just hoped that the film wouldn't crease or crumple. Guess what, it did. Problemo numero uno. I finally developed the film this afternoon, however I forgot that I had pushed the film and therefore most the shots came out under-exposed. The result?

That's what happens when you don't load the film correctly. Sleepy + impatient = mistakes. Whatev, I used photoshop on the worst, and the rest of the roll actually turned out well.


mmm...gritty.

Ah Crystal...this frame would be a lot better if i didn't completely destroy this end of the film and underexpose it.




I was taking a light reading when I accidently took a photo. The strange thing is it was perfectly developed and scanned beautifully, the tones were all correct. Oh and the place I eat lunch happens to be dead center...wtf.
