I’ve finished my Graphic Design course.
This whole month has been insane. So many assignments to get done and hand in, i almost left my run too late and didnt finish them in time. I’m very relieved that didnt happen.
The annoying thing about rushing alot of my work is that it didnt turn out as i originally wanted. So over the next couple of weeks its my goal to redo my portfolio and get something im actually proud of. Not something that reflects many late nights and half assed rush jobs like my current one does.
I also plan to redo my horrible website and actually upload some content to it. I think it’s going to mostly be html though, no flash, as it shits me and im always worried that people wont have the latest version installed in their browser. I like designing websites, its the coding thing that frustrates me. I’ll be happy if i never have to make a full website from scratch in my entire life! I doubt that will happen though.

Havent been taking too many photos over the last month. Actually last weekend was the first time i’d used a camera in ages. When i finish the roll i’ll post them up. I’ll be pushing some 400iso > 800iso for the first time so hopefully they come out!

Whats dangerous??
Well, the fact that im borrowing a Mamiya RB67 from a friend and i might get attached to medium format photography…. Thats whats dangerous.
Its big and heavy and damn ugly, but when you look through that viewfinder its bloody terrific. They you ofcourse have the 120 film itself which i’ve always been wanting to try out. Nothing comes close to the quality of enlargements and fine detail from medium and large format film.
I dont know why im letting myself try this camera out. Its actually pretty stupid. I’ve been interested in the Pentax 67 for a while now, and i need another reason to spend more money like i need a hole in the head (ie. photography has already sucked enough money out of me).
so anyway, this is the camera. An RB67 “Pro-s” made between 1974-1990. It has the 120 film back, 2 lenses; 90mm f/3.8 and a 150mm f/4. Oh yeah, and no metered prism on this baby (an expensive optional extra).
I’ll give it a go in a couple of weeks. I have about 10 rolls of cheap 120 film i’ll try and burn though, then develop along side my regular 35mm film. Hopefully i get some half decent results.
