Long weekend

This past weekend seemed longer than most, and I'm going to attribute that to going out on Friday night and then waking up "early on Saturday."

Friday night we went out to First Friday in Lancaster. All the galleries were open a bit later and there were quite a few people out thanks to the warmer weather. However, I wasn't all that impressed with the offerings. There were some reruns as well, which sort of made the trip that much shorter. There are still no real photographic exhibits downtown. The one example is a bunch of crappy photos of the Amish. Not that the Amish are crappy. No, the photos are pretty worthless. And they're of the Amish, which pisses me off.

Saturday morning I decided to take matters into my own hands and finally develop a bunch of black and white photos at the local darkroom. It was a lot of fun. I was glad I remembered so much. And still able to make a print with a simple guess of time and exposure than using something silly like a gradient time wheel. Who does that? Really? There was nobody else there, so that made it even better.

Saturday afternoon we ran out to the Main Line so that Maria could pick up some test materials from Kaplan. We met up with Ila and did some shopping at Target. Oh, sweet lovely Target.

Sunday was relaxing. Went to the gym and had some people over at night for pizza and good times. The weekend seemed nice and long, which was really nice. This week shouldn't be too bad. Maria's exam is a week from today, so she's into that something fierce now.
