an update!
In no less than 5 days I will be on a plane to start the most stressful and yet fun time of the year for me- my school’s annual 9th grade school trip to Nebraska. This year we will be bringing 280 fourteen and fifteen year olds to the Beef State for 10 days. Arriving a week early with hopes of getting the final parts of the trip prep tied down, I will also be hitting all the thrift stores, stock up on Nice Clothes for Teaching at the banana-reepa (as past japanese students called it) and taking some photographs. I want to shoot as much as possible but I still have not gone through the negatives from last year’s trips in June and December yet. That is something that needs to get done.
Starting to pack tonight, and I’ll be gosh darned if I have not spent part of the evening debating on taking a Pentax 67 with me. Once the kids arrive the time to be messing with such a bulky camera vanishes, but the draw of those big sexy negatives with all their detail is something I can’t get out of my head yet. Is it worth the weight? Will I bring it or not?
Oh to have such troubles.
have a safe trip and have fun with your cameras.
say hello to your mom and friends there:)
