It's been awhile...

Ok, why have a blog if you don't post on it? Here's one more attempt to get it going again...

So my little debaters did really well this year. Yea! Two of my little CX pairs went to state- yea! I won't bore you with more details on their manifold accomplishments.

With our good results this year, I've been motivated to go to "Debate Camp" this summer. Being rediculous and doing nothing normally, I'm going to stay for the extended month-long session rather than the typical two-week deal. Or at least that's the plan.

Blogging isn't the only thing I've neglected. I haven't been throwing pots since late October. I started throwing again a couple of weeks ago, now that the debate season is over. I think I really need to invest in an airconditioner for my garage/studio. Made a nice pitcher with several darted areas. I'm hoping it turns out well and keeps me motivated. The handle could still pop off or crack and then I'd be totally bummed.

My argyrotype chemicals and 4x5 film arrived last night. I'm pretty excited to give it all a try. The photography teacher let me borrow the darkroom this morning to load some film, so I'll try some pinhole exposures tonight. Still waiting on a drum agitator to arrive to process the film without having to shake it by hand the whole time.

I'll post some photos of the pitcher if it makes it to bone dry with no major issues.
