woman, sunshine

Photobucket

this is off the first roll of film i ever took. my high school journalism advisor also ran an enviable darkroom, and i would longingly eye the people going in and out everyday, working their photochemical magic. i finally talked her into showing me how to develop film one day; she gave me a roll of tri-x and told me to go off shooting. as i was in the backyard zooming in on dried pieces of squash my mother came out raving and asking what i was doing. i pointed the camera at her, she waved her hand over her face.
