One year of university practically complete. DA account logged into after almost an entire year. Many plans for the summer.

In coming to college, I've really, really missed art and crafting. Today, however, I get to pick up my camera once more (I have hardly touched it since I stopped working as a student photographer) and head out into the wild world with my dear friend to snap a roll. And then, tomorrow night, we head into the dark room.

I am so very excited, albeit a twinge rusty. It's been a few years since I've used a darkroom, but I imagine it's like riding a bicycle, in the dark.

I've set aside the first week of summer vacation to clear out the moldy, spider/earwig/other creepy crawlies-infested room in my basement so that I may finally install the darkroom equiptment I've collected over the years.

On the other side of this makeshift studio, I am setting up a lampwork table or two, to finally practice the lamp working with the materials I got for graduation.

It promises to be a delightful summer, and since I'm transferring schools to a school in Chicago, I can leap home whenever I so desire to mess around in my basement studio.

Hooray.
