A recollection of days passed

I haven't been able to update this much because well, I'm lazy.
So now I have to make up for it.

I'm guessing around the 25th I was able to get some really good pictures to come out. The filter and eye adjustment seems to be working well. Anyways, I acquired two, wet and pitiful creatures out of a dumpster and was able to capture them in there poor state. see below---

And then! Just as I was about to pull out another nice shot...my camera jammed.
Oh well...It looks sweet

Then, a few days later I attempted to manipulate the 600 film. It was a frantic process. I had to take a shot, pull out the film, cut off both sides, put the image in crazy hot water, and wait for it to develop some. After that I took some blunt tools and tried to push around the emulsion. It wasn't working like I had imagined, so I got frustrated, as this picture shows..
But being a little trooper like myself, I tried again. With more patience this time. And I came out with this piece I call the "Tomato Manipulato"

After that exhausting work I went to try out our new microwave that finally replaced ours from the 80's
That was the coolest light show ever
