Dark Room Prints

Dark Room Prints

The first roll

I did 2 prints of the trash can because the first one I did was underexposed in terms of the enlarger. The second was better. The third was overexposed in my camera so It didn't turn out great, and most of most other negatives were worthless as they were underexposed




Faces roll #2

All of these photos were also underexposed, I tried lowering my shutter speed and got some faint shapes, but mostly my negatives were white space, or what would have turned out to be black space on the print. The only workable shot I had was this one of Claire making a derp face.


My camera manual said it had an auto detect for the ISO of the film, so maybe that isn't entirely true or that function has since broken because for some of my shots I had the shutter speed at the lowest speed, or longest exposure time it could do.

Reading a Photo #4




Anton Vaganov / Reuters
The atlantic photos of the week 4/1-4/7


1) Look at this photograph for a moment. What observations can you make about it?

The person is covered in blood, obviously a victim of some attack

2) What interests you most about this work of art?

It's suggestive in that it doesn't show a face or any real background, just a person covering 
their injury with their jacket, which is also covered in what appears to be blood.


3) What do you think is happening in this photograph? What else could be happening?

I would have to say this is probably from the St. Petersburg attack as that were the most recent in this wave of terror. It might have also been stabbing of sorts somewhere.
