WHAT I DID: I spent 20 hours finishing this lamp



Erica and I talked about how it has kind of a horror movie feel which is totally up my alley but not what my intentions were. We talked about how changing the colors of some of the bulbs might give it a more peaceful less creepy look. I might do this but i am going to wait until the feeling in my fingers comes back from

I received my polaroid film in the mail but still do not have a camera. I emailed joe to see if the school has any laying around and they don't. I checked kwanis and they didn't have any either. I read a forum online saying that for this film its recommended to get a polaroid 600 se which i looked for online and they go for like $600 on ebay. I emailed on thursday asking her questions about the process, camera, and books but haven't gotten a reply yet. Erica let me know that's there's another ip student who is also doing emulsion transfers and I intend on dropping in on her in her studio in the next couple days to talk to her and possibly have her show me the process in action. I got a few books from the library about photo transfering and alternative processes so while I'm talking to people and looking for a camera i have plenty to read and learn about this field.

WHAT I DISCOVERED: I know nothing about this and i have a lot to learn. i feel that even if my process is slow because i'm learning, it is important and exciting for me to experience and discover this.

WHAT'S NEXT: Learning as much as i can about this process from as many resources as possible: books, internet, people. Then trying it out because i know the first few times will most likely be failures. this is part of learning something new.
