Round the Bend

Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/4.9; 1/100 sec.; ISO 200 (B&W and contrast by Gimp)

I suppose I must be a bit round the bend really. Toward the end of last year I embarked on my retro photo project “Soggy Pictures”.  The idea was to put a 36exp. B&W film in my old point and shoot Yashica T5, wait for a rainy day, and paddle about town taking pictures of rain soaked subjects. The project proved more difficult than I first thought because the weather was far too pleasant. The expected downpours never really came, and if it did rain heavily, then only at night when I was tucked up in bed or during the day when I was in the office and the camera at home. Well, last night I did actually finish the film and this morning I sent it off to be developed. I hope to have it back in the next couple of weeks.
I have now told the world to expect the results in about two weeks time, but have absolutely no idea if the photos will be any good.
Dull days, a bit of rain, and I can’t even remember what I actually took pictures of!
Imagine how silly my project will look without any usable photographs. Imagine how silly I will look, having this huge build up with nothing to show for it. Well I’ll just have to keep the old fingers firmly crossed for the next two weeks or so… I must be round the bend 😉
