I sold off the rest, it’s just way too expensive to develop and I couldn’t afford to develop the other 15 I had left. I don’t miss it at all, especially the blah slow 100 speed of it, I think I’m gonna start using 400 (Portra 400NC) for a while until I get sick of that. To develop this, I tried a new place at Yonge and Dundas called ‘ElPRO Photo’. It’s a mom and pop kinda place, but while their developing is really cheap, the scanning is pricey. I’m deciding whether I should figure out a way to scan negatives myself (film scanners? flatbeds? software? so many choices, it’s daunting and confusing). Or maybe I should take the advice from John and ask instead for (5×7) prints and just scan the ones I like (do 5×7 prints scan well? honestly I have near zero experience in using a decent scanner)?

Looking over this last roll, I realize that my main problem is that my pictures feel so ‘distant’ there’s not enough close people and joie de vivre in them. That’s something I definitely gotta work on. I’m moving out soon, so I’ll probably be talking about that next!
