1. Messed up the focusing screen on my dad's Sears film camera
2. Bought replacement and returned it to dad
3. Purchase Nikon EM
-Based on list of film camera's the Professor recommended
-First day of class discover it had an automatic shutter speed and will not work for class
4. Professor issues Nikon FM with nice lens
- Took one picture and film will not advance
-Need newly issued camera for school
-Resort to using the EM so I will have film to develop in class
-Load film wrong=no film to develop
5. Professor issues Nikon FG
5 Film Cameras Later, 5 trips downtown, and 2 attempts to develop film; I chose to process this print of a shoe rack outside the shoe store during the farmers market. The professor said that it was more than adequate for the first assignment and I could use it for one of my final 15 prints. He said to work on it just a bit by trying a lower number filter to see if I could get a few of the darker areas just a tad bit lighter. It should be interesting trying to do so as this was my first print. It is a scanned image of the original so it may appear to be darker than it really is.
I did not realize when I took the picture that there is only one shoe in each of the boxes. Very clever technique to get patrons into the store in addition to thwart any potential thievery!
