Vacation has started, so I thought I'd write a journal.
I divided the subjects, which should be easier to read.

Vacation
Thats right, one week of vacation. Everyone around me has already had theirs, but because I study in the middle part of The Netherlands I get my vacation a week later.
I wont really have the time to relax, there's one big task I have to do for school which has to be handed in the monday after vacation. I want to finish it as soon as possible, lets see how it goes.

I also have to work on a client's website, this is actually quite hard because there are lots of connection problems. I need to make changes to the site itself, but I cant login with the same passwords she uses. So now I'm trying to login by using the exact same program (Web Builder 6?) and the exact same settings, maybe this will work.
She would also like some photos of the personnel, food, and people eating this food. But first we have to finish the website before we start on that

Street photography + Darkroom progress
What can I say... street photography is very fun to do. I take my camera with me every day, trying to look for interesting scenes. I read an article of another street photographer that said that your behavior changes while doing it, and I recognized lots of that. I walk differently (not this side of the pavement, but the other because of the scene), I sit on 'strategic' places in the bus/train, I stop taking shortcuts, and above all, I dont want to take the shortest route home any more. Its a great way to relax, just walk around and see what happens. Sometimes you end up with nothing, and sometimes you get great photos.

That brings me to the next point... I badly want to show these photos but I cant. They're all safely locked up in the rolls of film
Thats the price I have to pay I guess. But it will be all worth it. Somewhere next week I will meet again with the darkroom teacher, I will learn how to develop my own film. Once I know that, I can start using my own darkroom and get it all started.
In the meantime I bought a scanner, a Canoscan 8000F which is a great scanner.

Video - feature
If you have some time left (sure you do), then take a look at these three street photography videos. You dont have to watch all three of them, but take a look at the first one at least.
It's a very motivational video produced by two of my examples; Chris Weeks and Severin Koller. This will make you understand why I'm doing this, and what I find so interesting about this kind of photography.
