damn you, slide printer! beer makes it all better.

yay!

my printer has arrived! i still don't have directions or the transfer kit (just some supplies that make it easier to do.) i got a regular 3x4 base and a 4x5 base. the 4x5 film comes in sheets and each one hates me more than the last. it took about 30 minutes of internet searching to figure out how to load the sheets, then how to expose them. i paid a tushie-load of money for a box of 20 sheets of polaroid 59 film, and i screwed up about 6 of them tonight. i stopped. the 3x4 film comes in packs of 10, so you just load the pack and you can use it for a while. i need to practice this weekend....the light, ugly, washed out prints i made tonight will just be practice. why are they so light? did i underexpose?

here is a pic...


also, i had three cans of beer from amsterdam...long story, but i didn't buy them...someone gave them to me in the airport in philly after we got off the plane. i had the last about a week ago...yum.
