Only 3 more days

I'm running out of time. Okay, rereading that sentence, it probably sounds like I'm about to die from a fatal disease. And maybe I am, because once school starts, the summer-happy part of me will probably die.

But anyway: Since I'm running out of time, I'm feeling a little guilty. I haven't done nearly enough photography this summer. Mr. B will probably kill me when I get back. I mean I've shot about three rolls of film - over two months. I'm ashamed of myself.

Of course, I have an excuse: I was away a lot of the time, and my camera's batteries died, and I couldn't get the right kind anywhere except Newtonville Camera.

But forgetting excuses for a minute, I definitely could have tried harder.

Also, in my last post, I decided that over these last few days of freedom I will try to spend more time outside. For once, I'm actually going to do what I said. Right now, my family and I are going to Nantucket beach with Andrey's family and a few other people. And guess what, not only will I be spending time outside, not only is this the perfect opportunity to finish the last 60 pages of Uncle Tom's Cabin, but I can also do an experiment!

Let me explain. I'm almost out of Ilford black-and-white film, and I need to shoot. I NEED to. So, I'm going to get color film from CVS for the first time. I've never shot with color film before! Not for artistic purposes, anyway. I am EXTREMELY excited.

Well, time to run - I'll post the results of my experiment when I get back!
