Day 62 again


--Tragedy of the day / lack of photographs explanation
I had dropped off a roll of film over two weeks ago when it takes one week to develop. After a few times of going to pick up my film and it not being ready, I grew skeptical.
Today, I went with Mom to pick of my roll of film, which had photographs from the snow to cool broken bikes to old documents on the street to Greg’s visit in Florence.

Today, I finally received an envelope with
- a letter of a short apology in Italian from the lab the photo place sends black and white film to
- my roll I had shot of now blank film (that they accidentally exposed --all 36)
- and a new roll of black and white film to make up for it.

The man who gave this to me didn’t quite understand why I was so upset and confused, and didn’t think that the ruined film was a big deal. I don’t think my questioning and upset qualities translated well to him. So, I won’t be developing more film in Italy, but I will save my rolls until I get back home. Aka, sorry for the missing black and whites, but they will be posted in May!

It’s an odd thing being a drawer and a painter, and having 36 little pieces of art burnt out by the light.

Don’t worry, I’ll keep on shooting as much as ever! 
You will just have to check for the b&w's in May!
