develop my own photos
fun. 1 year ago

it’s very fun and exciting.
i spent a week making prints and matting them (black and white), and i had a great time.
it’s hard to learn at first, to remember all the times, and the order of chemicals.
i had a really hard time with the film, and i don’t think i’m very good at it.
it was an awesome experience though, a real rush to know that i was making my own photos.


have my own darkroom
how much is it? 1 year ago

is it really expensive?
how much did it cost for you?
i have room, in my basement, with a lot of small rooms, dark with no windows, but i want to know how expensive it is for chemicals, enlargers, and such.


learn Mandarin
yeah. 1 year ago

it was a lot easier learning it growing up.
i know all the basics, i can communicate fairly well with other mandarin-speakers, but i find it’s hard for me to understand some more specific words and figures of speech.
and my grammar is just plain horrendous.
i think if i’d concentrated more on it while i was a kid, it wouldn’t be so hard to talk to more advanced (native) speakers.
i speak it at home, but i speak chinglish, and fill in words that i don’t know with english.
and i can’t write it.
i know my name and like 12 more words.
i should have paid more attention when i was younger.
if you’re learning it now, it’s definitely worth it.
it’s a fun language, but you really have to concentrate on getting your pronunciation right.
you can’t keep your voice monotone, or neglect to roll your tounge when it’s called for.
i’m taiwanese, and we tend to be more casual on our pronunciation, so i can’t understand chinese people well.
