Tet

A sample of what it looked like in central HCMC for Tet.

Last night I went into central HCMC to see the area that they decorate for the new year. The pictures aren't the best because it was nearly impossible to take a photo in the sea of people moving at me from all directions. Seriously. I have never seen so many people in one place. It was crazy. The thing about it is that I barely had a chance to enjoy it all because I had to keep moving which is kind of a bummer. 

I'm really not in the mood to write or narrate my experiences thus far, but I hope to feel a little more prolific later. 

   

Eh.

Don't judge. 

It was my first try.

And the film was expired. 

The sad thing is that I tried to write down all the settings I used for each shot, and now I can't quite figure out which is which. Ugh. Oh well. I'm just going to have to let go and have fun with it. I did learn a few things though:

• I need to hold still while shooting!
• This camera needs a lot of light. 
• I need interesting things to shoot instead of just wandering around my yard in order to test things out.:)

I doubt that I will have any time this week to test out another roll before I leave for Vietnam, so I guess I will just wing it. I have 5 more rolls of expired film that I'm just going to use up. Whatev. I will probably buy a few new rolls, but I don't have a ton of money at the moment.

5 more days until I leave!!!!!

This is my year! But.....

.....I still need a plan! Not to worry, not to worry. I have decided that I still have time. I know that the new year has already passed, but I realized that I'm celebrating two new years! I get until February 3rd to figure out exactly how I'm going to make this year amazing! The best part is that I will have lots of extra time to reflect and plot because I will be traveling. What else am I going to do on an 18 hour flight?
