Update on the weekend: The peach festival was successful in that I took a lot of pictures. I'll develop the film tomorrow evening and see what I got. But other than that, I can't report much. I went by myself and did nothing but shoot, so I was oblivious to everything except potential photos. Including the very hot sun turning the back of my neck a dark shade of red.

My photography instructor and I are occasionally butting heads-- he wants me to print for 12 seconds, I want to print for 11; he wants me to cut out my test print and make a burning tool, I want to burn using my hands; he says my lighting was too poor and that my picture is flat, I think it's one of the best pictures I've taken. I'm learning a lot, but my most precious hours in the darkroom are the ones outside of class.
