another weekend at central terminal. nothing all that new to report about things actually seen. but good news about other things. first off, i’m pissed as hell at my stupid piece of shit pentax camera. 2.5 wasted rolls because the fucker won’t advance. first roll, i took maybe 10 pics, and it wouldn’t advance anymore cuz it was jammed. had to open it up, expose all those frames, start over again. that roll did finish and rewound, but i still only have half a roll. 2nd roll…never advanced. i was on picture 35 and it wasn’t stopping. stupid piece of shit. tried again with my last color roll, i really thought it was working that time. nope…and they had all my puddle pictures on it (there were nice pools of water inside with awesome reflections – took some on adr’s digi cam since my film wasn’t going to turn out). pissed. throwing that camera out. i think i might try to go back tuesday afternoon, see if i can get some puddle pictures. but we’ll see.
the good stuff. i got to talk to russel about all the things he doesn’t answer me about in email lol. the film reels. i showed him the one i took, and he seemed interested in where i found them. i said i wanted to bring the sign out to him cuz he needs to keep it before someone takes it. so i brought that out and he loved that. and i convinced him to let me do the official website. score!! while talking about doing the website, this lady over heard that i did web design, so she wants to talk to me about doing a site for her at realbuffalo.com (i think). about the real buffalo, that isn’t all snow and crime. so that’ll be really cool, and really good for me – having 2 major sites in my portfolio.
perhaps the best news, other than the website, is that russell is totally cool with doing an art show inside in the spring. he said we (brian and i) could even show/sell some of our photos of the terminal at the fundraiser on sept 20th. so i gotta figure out what ones i want printed to show, and where i can take them to mount them, and find out how we’re gonna show them. yay.
and we met jerry in person. he’s a cool guy. maybe some of his pictures turned out since mine DIDN’T lol. arg. still pissed.
