Brag.

According to my photo teacher, I am on a roll. Though I didn't like this week's photos as much as last week's, I still managed to pull things together and make something good. To everyone who had to listen to me whine about symbols and metaphors: I'm sorry. Next time, just give me a smack and tell me to stop thinking and start listening to myself.
Another thing that makes me happy: I feel like I have finally gotten good at black and white processing and printing. I have actually been doing those technical things like testing the temperature, consulting (and understanding) the development times chart, and doing leader fix tests, when before I just poured in the chemicals and agitated away without bothering. As far as printing, I have been a machine, producing masses of quality work with very little fuss. It has all become so fun, instead of being a headache. And! I have been turning my research skills toward class, and have been able to teach people new techniques and help correct problems. So exciting.
