Small update from Paris: [link]

Writing right now from the Centre George Pompidou. I'm really enjoying Paris, but it still feels like so little time until the 30st April, when I have to go back to Zurich.

UPDATE: My newest blog entry is online. I got my earphones today too, so now I'm really ready for Paris.

Heya. Paris is only two days away now. So I'll be soon gone until the 30st April as you probably read in the comments of my most recent deviation. I finally got my new lens and I already shot one roll with it to test it. Dropped it off at another lab, which I haven't been to so far. Because the first one I've been to was actually really fast (20 rolls of Tri-X in half a day), cheap, and the negatives were really good. But the way they act was just a big turn-off. They've got that 'normally-we-only-serve-professional-photographers' attitude. The second one was really nice though, but the negatives had way too less contrast. So, now my earphones replacement has to arrive in time, then I'm completely satisfied.

Not much happened here. Planning to make a scrapbook with all my prints in it for myself. I'm being pissed right now at UPS, because they somehow don't get managed to deliver my lens. Stupid company. You better use FedEx than UPS. Trust me. But actually, that wasn't the reason I'm writing this journal entry...

...because today's the birthday of the well-known ^equivoque. She's putting so much effort into DeviantART, and is one of the most-dedicated persons here. So go over to her page and wish her all the best!

Haha. I totally forgot, there was someone else on dA having birthday (ich hab mir ne notiz gemacht!! Nur vergessen nach zu schauen, pfuiteufel). It's ~Sugarman! Go take a look at his gallery and...erm...tell him not to drink too much on his birthday (probably too late) OHU!!

I got the three rolls back I mentioned the last time. You'll find my blog entry here. So I've been to the darkroom again, printing some photographs. And guess what was awaiting me there...hundreds of free printing paper! There are loads of Ilford MG IV pearl and glossy printing paper. That was a nice surprise! I also found out, why the contrast still was way too high when I used gradation 0. It's because I accidentally bought fix-graded printing paper. What a way to start!
I applied last week for economics at the university of Zurich, starting Sept. 08.

Two prints again from my last sessions:
