因为在神没有一件事是不可能的

I made a pinhole camera over the weekend using a template from this site. It took a few hours to put together and you have to buy a couple rolls of film (what's that?) before the fun begins. After all the work is done it is very fun. It gave me a new appreciation for my D-SLR.

Sitting there, counting in your head, wondering how long you should expose this shot for, praying that it comes out half decent. It's a good experience.

I highly recommend you go make one.

After I finished the roll I too it to a camera shop to get it developed. The told me it would be a couple days. Fine by me. So I walked there, very excited to see if any came out, only to find out they didn't develop them. Sure, they developed the film, but they didn't make any prints! They told me that they would be bad pictures so they didn't develop them!

Now here's when I sometimes get very frustrated with Chinese people. In America if you pay someone to develop and make prints of a roll of film they will do just that. Nothing more, nothing less. Here they looked at the film and didn't want to make prints because they thought the photos would look bad. I didn't pay them for their opinion of how the photos would turn out by looking at the film. So, trying not to lose my cool, I told them very clearly, "I know they look bad, but I gave you money for photos. Now you take these and make prints."

Can you believe it! The arrogance of it all...

I know the photos will probably be crap, but I can't tell what to change for my next roll unless I have this roll developed.
