The average MIT graduate wants to work at Google or Microsoft, because it’s a recognized brand, it’s safe, and they’ll get paid a good salary right away. It’s the job equivalent of the pizza they had for lunch. The drawbacks will only become apparent later, and then only in a vague sense of malaise.

Lightroom duty, day 946
Rebuilt the entire website/portfolio thing. I’m slowly entering the commercial/for-profit photography world. Good times ahead.
On related news, I got rid of my last digital camera. It’s all film from now on.

Lightroom duty, day 883
I recently had a brief period of change where I decided to stray from the usual camera/lens/film combination. It was nice and fresh, but can I please have the original set back already?
(APX is unusable. Tri-X curls like a hurt child. Neopan is black-and-white with nothing in between. Delta is usable if you aim for 100% midtones and weird grain that reminds me of awkward virgin sex. And don’t get me started on lens that are too sharp… now I get why some are deliberately undercorrected: to prevent the world from looking too creepy.)
Boston, Massachusetts (nothing to say)
In case you’re wondering I assure you the rest of the Boston set is even more bland. Some rolls get exposed only to document the fact that I just wasn‘t in the mood.
