Prototype Photos

Prototype Photographs

This page contains images I have selected from my personal collection. All these photos were taken with a Pentax K2 FILM camera, thats right, I use film. Kodak Iso400 usually, and get the films developed by my local Kmart Kodak lab. I also get them to put the images on photo CD's which cost only $8 but you only get one film per CD as they fill the disc up with junk Kodak imaging software that I tried to use but it didn't work on my Windoze XP machine. Not to mention it installed parts I didn't want installed in my custom installation. Oh, and the CD only gives you jpegs so they might not be quite up to publishing standard.

NOTE TO OTHER AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS: I don't get good photos every time, generally on a 24 picture roll of film I have 5 or 6 dud shots, and one or two complete wastes of film. Shaky, too dark, out of focus or a combination of several problems (Usually I'm the biggest problem). Its just that I only share the photos I'm proud of...
