Assignment 1 Journal

So this assignment was difficult because all of my better images were ones that I didn't shoot on both rolls. And I am very bad about printing images I don't like. The ones I used weren't in amazing focus so when they were enlarged it just looked horrible. I think I'm trying to focus on things too closely, which is how i like to shoot most of the time, but i need to change that a little to get the best images possible out of my film camera. But I loved loved the small images because it was in great focus and you couldn't see all the little things wrong with it. Printing the 2 images 6 times was very difficult to keep them as similar as possible because I needed to change filters and time a lot and it took a while, but i think they are pretty good and close now. Comparing the two rolls, I didn't see much difference at all, except perhaps a small difference in contrast. I had forgotten how much more time film takes, and how different the images look and how you have to work with them and keep trying until you fight the perfect print. But I'd also forgotten how much i love just being in the darkroom, and forgetting everything else I need to worry about, and just focusing on my images. It's great and I'm excited to be back!
