Gravity
it's national poetry month, I will try to mix my film photos with poetry...here is my first.
camera: Canon Canonflex RM
film: expired Fuji Superia 200
Monochrome Sunset
sun slowly lowers
herself into the ocean
hugged by waves
like saturn hugged by a rainbow.
i stand on my head
so the sun does not set,
inverted perspective
allows me to see the sun rise
sun dives into the ocean
light penetrates waves
prisms separate color
it paints the sky.
colors blended
and not divided
a beautiful sight
my lens is colorblind
FEAR. THE. SPEAR.
long story short...we [SDSU] haven't been invited to Schools for Fools for the last 3 or 4 years. we were actually put on the wait list to compete, and were informed a school dropped out in February, giving about a month to mobilize and practice. that month of work definitely paid off, because SDSU ended up winning the entire jam! below are the battles:
vs UCLA
vs UC Berkeley
vs University
of Washington
vs UNLV
[Final Battle]

Found Film
i'm still fairly new at developing my own film. i had a roll of found film i was going to wait to develop when i started doing color. i've done google searches to see the effects of b&w chemicals on color film, with really nothing concrete...so i thought, WHY NOT...
the verdict: processing color film in b&w chemicals yields b&w negatives...[the negatives themselves come out brown]
