An Update on my Youtube Channel

Hey did you know I’m a youtuber? A lot of people don’t, for some reason. Anyway, here’s what’s been happening over at youtube.com/savethecroissants lately. 

Be sure to like the ones you liked and subscribe! I mean, google has decided subscribing is basically meaningless but when you do it means a lot to me.

None of This is Art

This took me days to make. 

Effort ≠ Art.

First Shots Off The Reflecta

This Reflecta, for reference. This was such an old, weird camera. I couldn’t tell if the film was ready and loaded right, or how many shots I had left, the TLR viewfinder was washed out most of the time and apparently made before split focusing, I’m amazed any of these even exist.

Or: Why didn’t we hear from you over the summer and nine prints.

BW Film Rolls 1&2

    Way back in spring quarter I took my first film photos on a black and white roll. When I went to replace the film {in the original Starbucks in Seattle Wa.}, It wasn’t rewound properly and when I opened it the film got over exposed and I thought I lost all my pictures. Then I got home and realised I didn’t know how to process B&W film, so that roll and another one sat in my drawer until today when I learned how to process B&W film. It’s really not very hard. Here are some highlights and interestingly ruined pictures.

On Tardigrades

     SO back in may I enrolled in a biology class at the college near here, I needed the biology credit and man if biology isn’t half hard. It nearly killed me learning about chemistry and cell organelles, {Fun Fact: All of your energy is created by teeny tiny turbines in all your cells. Literally turbines. Anyway.}
     For the final part of the class I had to write a paper {4–6 Pages, double spaced} cited to APA standards with at least six references. The topic was up to me but it had to be biology related. I’d never written a paper before, and I’d never even heard of APA.

Time Travel

Hey! I got ahold of a time travel device but it only has the one shot left, so this is what I decided to do.

Pisa

Pisa is a lovely little college town in Italy, with a river and a hat shop and about as many little art supply stores as you would like, none of which sold my malfunctioning mechanical pencil. 

{It’s very difficult to get a Parker Jotter mechanical pencil overseas. Everywhere had the pen version, but whatever.} Pisa is not a small town, {You couldn’t amble the perimeter in a day, for example} but it wasn’t as big as Florence. We did everything in an easy day trip, and walked across almost the full diameter of the town just to get from the train station to the tower.

There’s a lot more in town than the tower, {or Torre Pendente as the signs will tell you} there’s even a lot more RIGHT NEXT to the tower than you’re expecting, including dad’s favourite church. 

Oh, before we start a word of advice to other pin buyers such as myself in the past:  There are a lot of cool pins in Pisa, but don’t buy them from the little tourist shop next to the tower.

Buy them from the street vendor guy on the way back to the train station, they’re about $1.30 cheaper per for the exact same thing. 

Learned THAT the hard way.

I don’t know who this is, but he’s got an awesome hat and a sword, so obviously he was d*mn lucky.
