JANITORS

i am not impressed with the janitors at our school. this is the second time they have ruined a photography project of mine. the first time i was taking the film from the camera and into the daytank and you have to do this in complete darkness otherwise it destroys the film. so as i was doing what you do in the dark, the janitor opened the door and destroyed my film in seconds. this time i was in the dark room and painting film emulsion on a rock (liquid light, you paint it on stuff so you can develop pictures on it.) you only have one chance to do this other wise it gets ruined. i had been working on this project all day, walking out of classes to do this. and between a 5minute gap of me walking from the darkroom to 260 and back, a janitor walked in the darkroom and turned the light on and ruined it. FUCK. luckily for me the paint was still wet so i scrubbed it off and now it is drying in a locked cupboard in the darkroom.

  2. ohhhh boy, if that had happened to me, i would have RAAAAAGED. in the University darkrooms there are all sorts of locks and signs, so i've never had that happen. you should probably just slap a sign on the door next time you have a project like that.
