Path to Nowhere
Did not do well with picture taking today. I burnt through 8 exposures before finally getting one that I was okay with.
The bad thing about the Instax is that it insists on flashing. So my indoor photos were getting blown out from the flash. I tried to soften the flash with some wax paper, but then the exposures were too dark. I went outside and shot in full sun...over exposed. Trying a shot in the shade, yeah, that seems to work. Grrr! I guess I get so aggravated because each shot costs money. Not like digital, which I think of as free. (At least I got the camera for cheap—$6 at Goodwill.) I know I need to embrace my mistakes, accept them, learn from them, and move on. And I guess that's what this daily process is for, taking me forward along the path.

1 thoughtful people had to say...:
You sound like my son! He has been working with film this summer and is learning how expensive it can be when you get a roll back with nothing good on it. He has always been in the digital generation so it has been good for him to see how it was done in the "old" days :)
