I saw the sun

[eub]

I saw the sun and I put off shaving the right half of my face, stuffed color film in the camera, threw on shoes, and went out to take a picture of the tree across the street. This is the one I keep forgetting to shoot each day before the sun sets, and before it loses its leaves for the year.

Then there was another colorful tree up the street, and a tree around the corner that I blitzed through half the roll on, and sagging jack-o-lanterns, why not? Maybe sometimes to spend film like water makes everything beautiful, or maybe it's the other way around.

I notice that the more I shoot, the more beauty I notice.

So if I ever start really needing to roll my own cartridges from bulk, the world will be gorgeous

Does this work with infinite digital "film", or does that spoil the effect, I wonder?

I've seen some pictures taken with a digital camera that are totally gorgeous and breathtaking. But I must say there is something about using camera and film.

and it opened up my eyes.

i think everything IS beautiful, and when you have enough film to capture the majesty of it all, you take advantage of it.
