from bad comes good

No pics with this; just a little story.

I went to pick up my first roll of the Ilford Delta 100 b/w that I had put in a week ago to be developed. Well, that was all I got, too. Development; no pictures just negatives. Needless to say I was a little upset. The guy behind the counter is trying to come up with some kind of solution.

He thought of one place and was trying to tell me how to get there when he looked up and smiled. In had walked the owner of that very same place he had told me about. To make a long story short, I took my negs over to the lab and will pick them up today with the pics.

I knew I needed to get serious about my photography and knew a part of that was using better film for the shots I wanted to sell. With using better film comes the need for better processing capability. I knew WalMart would not cut it anymore; at least not for me. So now, I have a found my local lab to use, a new friend in photography and maybe even a mentor.

This gentleman is a retired music professor and has been doing wedding photography for the last 15 years. He still uses mostly film and uses all Canon stuff for his 35mm. Can't wait to see what the pics look like. Will try to post some for critique tomorrow.
