feel free to love, if that is all you need

My photography class was today!

My teacher, Jen, is cool. She's one of those people who wears all black and her hair is, like... beet-colored. Pinkinsh purple.

There are lots of cool kids in my class, a few really nice girls who I hung with cause I didn't know anyone else. And this really big guy who was like quiet and shy and sweet... and the short kid who he hung around kept running his mouth off and being a wise-ass. They were like Master Bomber from Mad Max... or um, Lexaeus and Zexion from KHII. Wow, neeeeerd.

The big guy was so sweet, though. And his name was like Benny or something adorable like that. I was like, WELL OF COURSE.

Anyway. We made pinhole cameras and took them out to take exposures... mine, like almost everyone's in the class, came out completely black. I think I left the shutter open too long @^@

But she gave us a demo on how a camera works with the classroom... the window was covered with this black tarp that had a hole in it, and when she turned off all the lights, there was a reversed image of the building outside the window, in color, on the wall!! It was super cool.

And she also gave us a roll of black and white film and we have to use the whole thing for homework, as well as keep a journal of what we shoot and other photography we see around us.

I suck with a 35mm, but I need the practice. It took me forever to get the lighting right and get the image sharp when I was just shooting a flower in my house. >_<

But that's what the class is for, I suppose.
