exciting news on my home front. at least for me. i have a friend who takes pictures with film. they tend to turn out well so i thought i would give it a try. my dad has film camera so i asked him the other day if i could use it. he acquiesed. then he started talking about how one of his friends had given him a film camera when they had switched to a digital. i went and got that camera instead. when i asked him if i could have it (after all, he already has a camera) he said that i could!! it’s a minolta x-700. and it came with about a thousand dollars of equipment: a flash and a zoom lens. exciting!! i’ve been snappng photos and playing around with the f-stop and light button (?).
today i spent the afternoon walking around downtown. the annual arts festival was this weekend. i haven’t been able to go since high school. sadly, i couldn’t get anyone to go with me. so my dad came with. i wasn’t going to walk around by myself. i was possibly going to meet some friends, but only if we randomly ran in to each other. which we did. hurray. we watched some dancing, which was pretty awesome. walked through the craft tent, ate chicken on a skewer, listened to various muscians perform. i asked a few people what the thought of the festival because i’m going to write a profile on it for my english class. after we met my friends we walked through the regional art exhibit. there were some pretty interesting pieces in there.
and now it’s on to homework. you’re probably bored with this post anyway.
