i'm off...

[Mansi]

for my first photo gig!:mrgreen:
ok first a bit about todays shoot and then about me leaving...
i went back to the crafts fair to shoot some and carried my film camera so that i could play a bit with it over there since im carrying it as a backup cam for my gig and hadnt touched it in almost 7/8months! when i got to teh fair and took out my 350d to shoot i realised that i left the battery on the charger and home was 45 minutes away:er:
so then i got my film cam out and sharted shooting...
at first it was wayyyy wierd switching from a canon dslr to a nikon slr.. but i got used to it and loved using my first camera all over again....
the results (ugh just had them processed and scanned.. are pretty horrifying
so here goes.... shot on color film (after ages!!!)
hi keyish stuff (or so it looks on my laptop)

Seriously, Mansi, I wish my best pics were 1/2 as good as your "horrifying" ones. These are really great.

Good luck on the shoot...not that you are going to need it, of course

Can't wait to see the shots...of course I'm sure it will make me want to come and visit even more!

Oh, and most importantly -- HAVE FUN!!!!
