January, 2007

I developed black-and-white 4×5 film for the first time in quite a while the other day. I even had some negatives from the 2006 Rexburg Winterfest (the 2007 winterfest was this past saturday). Anyway, I’ve been scanning the negatives over the last couple of days. I’m pretty happy with a few. In fact, I’m now inspired to load up some holders and shoot some more. So, here are a few:

So, It’s really cold. It doesn’t seem like winters have been terribly sever since we moved back to Idaho six or so years ago. This winter though reminds me of the Idaho winters of my childhood. It’s been between 10 and 15 degrees below zero every night since Thursday. Highs have been in the single digits. The forecast looks promising though. Highs in the 20s by Friday.

Anyway, enough whining. At least television is good this week. 24 premiered last night, which was fantastic. The office has been stellar lately. American Idol premiers tomorrow (I’m not a fan, but Susan likes it). Also, I’ve been enjoying my fly-tying class and this is perfect fly-tying weather I suppose.

I managed to get out in the sub-zero temperatures last night to photograph. It was brutal, but the light and color were nice.

The faculty show opens this Friday night January 5, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the Spori Art Gallery. I decided to submit some night imagery from the past year. You are all welcome to attend if you’re in the area. There will be punch and cookies I’m sure. I’ve posted these to the blog before, but here are a few sample images that will be in the show.
