there is nothing quite like developing and printing your own film. i think it is the same reason i love the typewriter-style fonts; it makes me feel closer to the writing process. and being so intoxicated with the idea of story, i want to be as close to the process as i can get. it is the same reason why, in my first black-and-white photo class, i loved creating my own sloppy borders.
so, with the help of my good friend mark with his photoshop skills and my wonderful wife with her behind-the-lens skills, i developed the next step to my look.
i hope you enjoy the new, light version of the blog. i also wanted to share the new sloppy border i came up with, after mark showed me brusheezy.com, a sweet resource for cool brushes, textures, and borders, that work with photoshop.
i may not be spending hours in a dimly lit room in front of an enlarger, but with the advance of technology and my new tools, i am doing my best to respect the process. enjoy.

Loving the new look! Did you get my email last week? I just wanted to check because the last time I tried to email you (before Christmas) it got bounced back. I didn't get any delivery failure message in my inbox this time but just wanted to check. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletedude, awesome! the new blog look is cool.
ReplyDeleteGabriel, I can so relate. I took my first film class last semester and learned so much. I hate to admit that before the class, I wasn't evem sure about the whole ISO/aperture/shutter speed/etc thing. *blushing* Anyway, I didn't actually "develop" the film, but I did 'process' it on the enlarger and went through the entire chemical process with it and it does give you a great sense of accomplishment - and a WHOLE LOTTA RESPECT for the film world. Anyway, nice new look!
