first things first, i must tell everyone about this!!! For my time-based art class we had to do a project of any kind involving time (so animation, preformance, sound art etc etc) this is what one chick presented.
- two cd players on the floor play twisted classical music
- she sits down and plays along on her violin to...
- a slideshow of every shit she took in the last two weeks.

i kid you not. shots of poo, in the toilet, with and without toilet paper, one with diarrhea, one some on her period. it went for two minutes.
this chick is very...outgoing. doesn't care what others think, speaks her mind, but isn't rude or in your face, just honest and quite content with her way of life.
it was...shocking. not the images themselves as much as the fact that she would actually do this. im just glad the images weren't accompanied with a smell.

as for everything else...i bought more film so plan to take more photos soon when i have some time, may have some fun photoshoots with friends. i am by no means a good photographer, and to me all of this is still me testing light values, shutter speeds apeture focus etc. then refining my developing skills (the best part).
in all honesty i use to think photography was...a lame form of art. i thought it was just so easy for someone to push a button and wallah! art! i still think that about digital photography in a way, but when it comes to the traditional stuff...it's so damn fascinating. taking the picture becomes only a fraction of the work. there are so many different contributors as to whether a photo suceeds or fails in the finish. and just watching the image creep into the paper as it develops is so...i can't even express it
i underastand how expensive analog photography and development is..im fortunate that my dad bought most of the equipment long before i was born. in a way it is a dying art, so i want to learn and practice it whilst the means to do so are still available to me
