I'm still on a high from last Saturday's Witch Project shoot with my Lomomanila groupmates. I couldn't wait til the weekend to get my bws done, so I joined Lianne today and we went to Studio 58 in Makati to get our bw rolls processed (2 rolls from her LC-A; and 2 rolls from my Holga). I also had my slide film cross-processed while we were there.

We turned in our rolls at 10:30 and the lab guy told us our bw negs and contact prints will be ready for pickup by 4pm. But my xpro would be ready in a few minutes, so he told us we could wait for it. (left: Chiyomi and I -- photo by Lianne)

After 15 or so minutes, he came out with a strip of green negative. Haha. Looks like I'm getting reddish shots again, I told Lianne. We excitedly went to Glorietta to get my xpros scanned to a cd while we had lunch at A Veneto.

After an hour, we picked up my cd. I got a peek at some of the shots when the Fuji girl checked if the data burned correctly. I saw one shot I instantly liked and was relieved.

We checked all the shots as soon as we got into Lianne's car. Fortunately, I had my laptop with me! I couldn't contain my excitement.

We had several models that day, but my mind was set to shoot a lot of shots of Chiyomi. I'm glad I have shots of her that I really like.

CHIYOMI
 
 

Of course, there were other models, too. I'd have loved to shoot all of them but there were more than fifteen of us taking photos, it was a little hard to get model time.

I like this shot of Che, the pixie model.

I hope to God that I get some nice shots from my Holga. I'm so anxious. I'll find out tonight when Lianne picks them up for me. She's supposed to send me a message after she checks my contact sheet. I hope she'll say, "Ian, they're nice!" instead of "Ian, puro black."

Hahaha. Stay tuned.
