Journal Nept's Journal: a new hobby 2
Well...I've found a new hobby. It sure beats working on my computer after a long day at work. Here's some photographs I've taken:

SF is only a little ways up the road from me (Menlo Park) and since this whole area is as boring as heck, I find myself spending more and more time in that city. It's just plain fascinating.
I don't use digital cameras. I can't stand them - they're just not good enough yet (except the hasselblad Dfininity - 16 megapixels and only about ~$20k) and way too expensive. I use a Minolta Maxxum 9, a top of the line 35mm, very underrated by a lot of people, but an excellent camera. I'm starting to shoot with high speed film, Ilford 3200 Black & White, Fujicolor Super HG 1600.

the film part is slow, the quality isn't up to par with the $600+ file/neg scanners, but is still surprisingly good.
