I AM A FUCKING INTELLECTUAL

So today I start really working on my portfolio

I have 9000+ digital photos go to through, and hundreds upon hundreds of 35mm Black & White negatives.

I’m realizing, for one thing, that I’m not really using light room to its full potential. I use the editing features heavily, but I don’t tag any of my photos, they’re just all imported into folders. Some by date, some by event name, it’s totally random.

I have a week to organize these photos, and do all the post-processing. It’s the largest project I’ve ever done by far, and I haven’t given myself enough time to do it. But I’ll manage.

Luckily, I have the *entire* week off. I’ve rented some darkroom space tomorrow, at Print Space, so I should be good to go. I have 6 hours there.

I know NOTHING about digital printing though. Any thoughts? I just need to have everything printed up 8x10. The negatives I’ll be printing myself.

Are 35mm point-and-shoot cameras better than cheapo digital point and shoots?

This just occurred to me: Could 35mm point-and-shoot cameras possibly be better than cheaper, e.g. sub $200 digital point-and-shoots?

All 35mm cameras are, no matter how crappy, “full frame”.

Maybe the worst of the worst film 35mm cameras are terrible, and I’m sure single-use cameras are as well, but what about old 35mm point and shoot cameras that have real (and by real I mean glass) lenses.

Any thoughts?
