I mean they were practically pouring the developer into the fixer. I am sure the jury found it to be justified homicide. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
korik Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I loved developing film in school. (I have only done black and white, personally.) but I am not a good enough photographer to find it worth the time and cost. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluedragonwings Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The cost is a big reason why I stopped. Now that digital is getting to the point where I think it is starting to match film quality I am trying to get into it more. But it will take new skills with photoshop. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snao Cone Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I am dreading buying Christmas presents this year almost as much as I'm dreading receiving them. Giving gifts to kids is great, but for adults it just seems redundant as we can get our own stuff. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borkfork Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 No more Starbucks gift cards! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snao Cone Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I don't like giving gift cards. They're unoriginal, and you're just exchanging an exact known amount. The added value of gift cards is the incentive to get off your ass and buy specific kinds of items. I like gift cards to the local bookstore. A couple years ago, shortly after my move, my dad got me a gift card to a housewares store and promised to provide the transport. But I have gift cards I haven't yet used and don't plan on using because I never buy things from these places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elftober Country Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The thing about receiving gifts is that it really highlights when people don't know you at all. I seem to get some weird gifts from extended family, I'm still not sure why I would need a hat with built-in headphones Last year I restored some family photos and framed them for my mum and brother. It's nice to see them up on the wall when I go and visit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Tunbridge Wells Starbucks just shut down because they were losing money. Everyone used rival chains and independents I agree with gift giving being a stress. Our extended family decided to rationalise, as exchanging bottles was a bit pointless, so we only buy for kidlets now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Copal_0 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I grew up around photography, I always loved the smell of color chemistry. Hard to describe it but it's really chemically . Sort of like how I like the smell of gasoline and oil house paint. These days I'm either working with a hybrid process (C-41 and scan) or alt process stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snao Cone Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I know, that is so something you want in your life. The regulars in my ace meetup group really want me to buy a penis-shaped lamp. I have not done so yet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Homer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 A lamp-shaped penis would be so much more impressive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
