I’ve been out for a little while.

January 4th, 2012

I’ve been out for a little while.

I had my left hip replaced.  I’ve been having issues with it for a few months and it finally became very painful on a regular basis.

Here is what they took out.

I’m doing much better.  I am taking one class in the Spring Semester.  It’s a non-thesis class as I’m not sure how well I can shoot for class and recover and work and all that must be done in life.

Wow! Lots to buy for Experimental Photography (updated)

January 19th, 2011


Cyanotype

A cyanotype photogram made in my experimental class


Wow!  There is a lot to buy for this course.  I got most of my stuff from Freestyle and from Jerry’s Artarama albeit some of the items were difficult to find on the Jerry’s website.

UPDATE: You do not have to buy all this stuff in advance.  I have developer that is unused as well as a toning kit that is new in the box. If you live far away and shipping is going to take more than 2 weeks then you might need to over-purchase items.  My professor in this class offered a timeline for materials needed in the first or second week of the class.  I would have saved about 50 bucks had I know this before hand.


I’ll call the InkAid folks tomorrow and order the starter kit that is listed below.
