Got a few rolls of film back from Ritz:

I ride my bicycle with camera in tow. I notice a sign upon a fence. My ride stops then, for a photograph.

I hold my hand straight and let the shutter blink. I think:
Why does the shutter need so little time
to read a sign which states,
“No Admittance”?

I sit up, Polaroid in hand,
excitedly passing the minutes.
I do not know why, with such a clear sign,
I felt surprised at all.

The whites of the photo turned to grays of the photo, and by the time it was done, no photo developed at all.

“No Admittance”, I suppose.

I finally bought more 120 film for my Holga, 5 rolls of Kodak 125px. After watching the the 60s film, “Blow Up“, I’m quite inspired to take more photographs. It’s an expensive hobby though…
I took two classes this summer, an English course and an upper-division math class. My English grade was an A — tomorrow is my math final and it just might become my second failed college course. The first, fittingly, was also a math class. If I do fail, I won’t be bothered so much that I have to take the course again, but rather that I wasted (sort of) tuition money.

Deviantart has this neat page of photos of people taking photos.
