So yesterday was probably the 2nd best day of my life. If you want to know what the first was...ask my wife.
I decided to go to a thrift store close to my house to sniff out some cameras. They didn't have much...a pile of cheap point-and-shoots, and a Yashica T4. I casually picked it up, shot a couple of shots around the store with the film that had been left in it, and then casually asked the staffer how much he wanted for it. He laughed and said, "That? $2."
Then I went to the darkroom at a local university. I've never been in a darkroom before, though I've been shooting film for a long time. A friend showed me around, and we developed 2 rolls of tri-x that we pushed to 1600. Both rolls just came out killer--and then we went into the enlargement room and started printing. Wow. Life changing.
We printed till 1 AM, and I printed some negatives I had posted here previously (Tri-X from my friend's wedding). It was definitely a memorable day
Anyway, here's my new Yashica with its "brother", the Contax T2.
And here are the prints we made last night.
I just had to share.
