I shot slides, but I'll have prints made later when I get them back. I'm happy enough with print film, it has advantages, a greater exposure latitude than slides and it's very forgiving when you overexpose, something that slide film is not, but since most local print processors are spotty, I occasionally get back prints that superficially look good, but the negatives are crap. Most people get their prints and never use the negatives again, never blow them up or scan a section of a negative to make that section into a full size photograph. So nobody notices sloppy spotty (as in little spots on the negatives) work. So nobody complains. So there's no incentive to do better. So you've got to be careful.

Odd day, odd week perhaps. I've had good energy and urges to begin new projects. This turmoil at the company with friends leaving and strangers arriving does get to me, but there are other times, and today was one of them, when the challenge looks interesting and the world seems filled with possibilities. Or is that just some more of the ebb and flow? One day you're up and another you're not? Was I this way when I was younger? Yeah. Probably. I just didn't write it down or think about it. Too many sugar donuts for breakfast in my thirties and forties, maybe, except I don't think I ate sugar donuts for breakfast in my thirties and forties. I don't remember what I ate for breakfast. Did I even eat breakfast? That's weird. Do people forget what they ate for breakfast during whole decades of their lives? I guess I do.
