Written at 2:20pm

I got to work in the darkroom at 8:00am and worked continuously until 11:25am where I had to leave for a senior seminar. I returned back to Slocumb at 12:50pm and ended the day at 2:15pm. Therefore, I spent 4.84 hours on my senior project today. When I was working, I was in the darkroom developing my prints. I was very efficient today and was able to get a lot of work done. One of my goals for senior project was to have at least three prints to share for Wednesday. I have already completed this goal. As of today, I have four prints ready to display. Tomorrow I hope to see how many more prints I will be able to finish. Additionally, I will need to frame my work to have it ready for display on Wednesday.

  5/12/21 Wednesday Written at 6:50 pm Today I enjoyed a sleep-in and got to work at 9:00 am and finished the day at 12:45 for a total of 3.75 hours. I did not complete as many hours today since I had to end earlier for my Global Citizenship Concentration exit meeting. Today I did more practice rolling film in the dark. Once I was confident with my final product I rolled the film that was in camera. I did not take the next step in developing the film with the chemicals because the chemicals need to be changed. Since I could not develop the film I decided to take more pictures with the film I placed in the camera. I made sure to not take all the pictures I have in storage with my camera because I wanted to take more pictures of my family when I got home. I have attached an image of what camera I am using down below. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I can start to develop my film.

  5/11/2l Tuesday Today I started my senior project work at 8:00 am and finished at 2:15 pm for a total of 6 hours and 15 minutes today. I finished all the film on my camera by taking more pictures. I wound up the film that was in the camera to remove it. I removed the film and put it away into my locker. Before I go ahead and roll the film with pictures on it I wanted to practice a couple of times. The rolling process takes place in the dark since the film cannot be exposed to light prior to chemicals. I practiced with different film many times in the dark. The rolling of film is crucial to how the negatives turn out. I have to make sure there are no tears or wrinkles in the film. Since I haven’t practiced this skill in a while I wanted to make sure that I have mastered it before I move onto the film from my camera. I also loaded a new roll of film into my camera for future use. Once I finish rolling the film from my camera I have to mix chemicals together and then do a procedure. T

  5/14/21 Friday Written at 2:05 pm I got to work today at 8:00am and started with taking more photos. I got a new camera today because the lens on the camera I was using broke. I took pictures all morning and completed another roll of film. At 12:35 I took a lunch break and returned to work at 1:15. Today I did not feel the need to practice rolling film. Instead, I went right into rolling and actually was able to roll two films in a short amount of time. I put the films together in a large canaster because I hope to develop them together for a speedier process. I ended the day at 2:20pm which means I worked for 5.66 hours today. I have attached an image of my new camera down below.
