Frame-A-Day 45: Library


45. Library, originally uploaded by jeffrey_knight.

One of the nicest aspects of where I live is the fact that we have a library branch within a short walking distance of my house. Growing up in North St. Louis County, a trip to the library always meant a drive, now it's just around the corner.

The number of people whom I have encountered in my life that do not ever use this amazing resource continues to astound me.

And that brings us up to date. As I've mentioned before, it's not scanning and posting the photos that is the hard part, it's the writing about them.

Frame-A-Day 38: Road Rider for Jesus

38. Road-Rider for Jesus

This photo marks the beginning of a new film stock: Arista Premium 400. My stash of Kodak Tri-X was running out, and I'd heard the Arista was the exact same film, just rebranded by Freestyle Photographic supplies. Since the film is just a little over $2.00 per roll, I bought myself what might be close to a year's supply.

This first frame seems like an inauspicious start to the new film stock. It's stupidly underexposed. In fact the first 6 or so frames all were. Some of those I can attribute to my own stupidity at setting the camera, but the rest? Halfway through the roll, I started metering at 1600 as opposed to the 3200 I had been using, and giving the same development times. The results are a huge improvement, and I can't wait to get to posting those.
