Crap camera, take two. (image heavy)

Life is too short to worry about any of the stuff mentioned here. Keep on shooting. There are many websites to choose from when I feel to do some interesting reading, and this site has many forums to choose from, so no single posting ever annoys me for any reason.
 
You know, I can sometimes get into shaking my head over the flightiness that Ms. Stephanie all too often exibits (especially when I feel myself turning in Mrs. Grundy... 😱 ) Someother very good people I know here have real problems with her because of it. But even as I shake my head, I know d*mned well that I'm gonna end up doing something similar, just, feeping, because... 😀

Myself, though, I like the energy. I like the ideas. Keeps my own frigging shooting from being just another f*cking "Kodak Moment". WTF? I don't care what the other idjits think. I just want to see many images from that J-3... 😉 And I got my own reasons for that statement <LOL>

Fit's my old punk mentality to a fricking "T". And I'll keep doing what I can to help her keep being who she is, photographically. Even if it is a mosh pit of ideas... 🙂

'pep's signature pretty much states it all. When someone identifies themself as a Smartass, it's hard to take anything they post seriously.

Brian,

I understand the signature more as an ironic anticipation of the response he expects to get from certain folks here, I'd say his comment is definitely meant serious tho and leaving aside the aggressive ground shade it contains indeed a lot of valid points.

I have doubts if Peppo is really male, he/she sounds a bit like an female teacher
or personality trainer, maybe a military instructor ?
"WTF are you doing here !!!?? CON-CEN-TRATE !!!") 😀
And there are significant elements that point out a specific female annoyance. 😉

Pepponia !! Confess !!!! 😀 😀

It is a pity that he(she) (peptonio, that is) uses an aggressive tone, because, there are valid points in there, i agree on that. Even if one gets annoyed or bored because of what he thinks about somebody's behaviour, should try to keep civil. Otherwise, the effect of his words will be exactly the opposite of the desired one.

Hey! I don't pick up any female characteristics in Peppo's posts - just plain testosterone-backed aggression 😉

Seems you have no clue how much testerosone can be in a certain type of female military trainer?!
Some must have balls like apples. The "built-in" type, somewhere inside. 😀 😀

As to the images...Stephanie, if you are interested in using a crap camera very ewfficiently, i recall a person called S.Liu on photo.net who used holga and pinhole holga cameras with colour transparency obtaining some excellent shots. I think he was the most succesful exploiter of camera defects without going too "artsy-fartsy". One recognizable "trick" he uses-used is to choose as subject a bright large coloured something in a dull background. No need for sharpness, low distortion or such exotic stuff.
 
I got (by mistake) a crappy looking plastic camera called Nicca. It has a fixed focul "lens" and maybe has three speeds. Should be crappy enough to get interesting looking crappy photos.
 
Just so you guys know, I don't take any of these photographs seriously...it's me learning how to use the camera and how to develop the film I'm using with the camera. Thought I'd show them to show my progress is all.
 
Peppo, why not say it nicely with some tact? No one deserves to be harangued here. You wouldn't talk like this if you were face to face with a person (at least I'd hope not) so just because you're sitting at a keyboard, this does not give you licence to be nasty.

Bertram are you refering to 'nads of bronze? Yep wimmen have 'em too.

I once worked with a woman named Jarell (yeah, I know it sounds like aSuperman name). Anyway, she was once 86'ed from a bar in Virginia forheadbutting a guy in the nose for making a rude remark about her genderorientation. She was only 5.5 ft. in height. He, reportedly 5' 9", wentdown, broken nose and all.

She had the fabled 'nads of bronze.

That's balls of steel. 😛 I have balls of iron. 😉

I think one of the things that makes this place as good as it is has to be the diversity of the people who post here. I like the diversity.

Oh, and just so you know...I started with one film and one developer and used that almost constantly for six months. I'm pretty confident with both D76 and Diafine and regular development of most films. I'm testing out Rodinal now for slow films with the intent to also switch to it for faster films to get the grainy look that I like. I'm also experimenting with slow films because I want to see if I really want to stay with TMX as my go-to 100 ISO film.

So yeah, experimental...but not insanely. My stand development stuff is going to be put on hold for a while.

Wow !!! Yes, this comes quite close yet to my imagination of what Peppo(lina) is in real life ! 😀 😀 😀
