  1. Might Change My Workflow

    This is another in an endless line of posts about getting photographic film developed. As usual the main theme is that I am an impatient asshole. Consider yourselves warned.

    When I first started mailing film off to a development lab I was sending it to a place in New Hampshire. The lab is close enough that I could probably drive to it and drop it off in person. It’s a little too far to do as a spur of the moment, off the cuff kinda drive, but it was close. When I dropped the package in the mail it was usually at its destination the next business day.

    Then I changed labs. Instead of shipping to New Hampshire I was shipping to San Clemente, CA. All the way across the country. The service was a little cheaper, and to my very ignorant untrained eyes the end result looked a teeny tiny hair’s width better. Was it actually better? I don’t have a clue. The question was, does the slightly lower cost offset the extra 4–5 days of travel time to get the package of film to its laboratory destination? At first I thought yes. Now?

    My plan for this summer is to shoot film once a month. Last year I was trying to go out and take pictures of stuff any time the sun was out in the early morning on the weekend. It got the point where I was sneaking out of the house 2–3 days each week. That was silly. This year I am going to blitz for one weekend, weather permitting, each month and that will be it. This month had an extra day because I needed to test drive my new camera, but outside of that I plan to stick to once a month.

    Next month I think I am going to go back to the lab in New Hampshire. Hell, I might even drive there. Probably not, but if I can find some excuse I might. At the very least I will compare prices between the two labs directly and if it’s even remotely similar I am going to go with the faster shipping turn around time with the closer to home service. 

    I dropped four rolls of film in the mail on Saturday. I don’t expect them to get to California until Friday. I am generally a patient person and that wait should not bother me… but in this case I am completely impatient and it does bother me.

    Damn it, I am such a freakin’ nerd.

  10. Results come late.

    Effort comes first.

    That’s the part most people hate —
    working without immediate rewards.

    But that’s also where real builders separate themselves.

  14. how dare the rules apply to me

    (original said ‘work’ instead of ‘wait’, but I sloppily replaced it while complaining about having to wait for something)

    So @ kay posted a public message asking for ppl to send in songs about celebrating or accepting people who are different.
    So I replied with a couple of youtube links.

    ...and then she blocked me before I had change to add the names to them, what a deeply unpleasant, intolerant and self righteous person she is. Reminds me of some of the teachers in my comprehensive school, all preachy but no compassion.

  28. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something: the strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock; the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    The Life of Friedrich Schiller, Part 2 (1825)
