I envy you, for your film use. I wish I could devote the time and money for film and processing. I love the way film comes out over digital.

You live in Pensacola right? Do you have your stuff in any gallery?

Ill have a few pieces in the PJC Aug 3-9th Paris & Spain show. If ya have the time, stop by, there should be a nice collection of Photos. I can't wait to see everyone else's photographs.

Yeah, I think I will always use film for as long as they make it. I'm trying to get a Nikon D80 to make it easier and lest costly for paid jobs. I've shot a few weddings recently, and I'd like to ditch the film and processing costs and make more profit. But I'm sure I'll always use both.

I do live in P'cola. I work at Barnie's Coffee in Cordova. I'll definitely come check out the show at PJC. I'm actually a Photo student there, but I took the summer off so I haven't kept up with what's going on. What's the Paris & Spain show about?

Yeah, I remember you from Barnies. I used to work at GameStop, came in there a lot. I too took time off. Had to take the Spring off, and then accidentally the summer too. Missed registration, couldn't get the classes I wanted. Getting back in there this fall, although no real photo class - but they are Photo AAS classes.

Mrs. Vanneman took a group of students and friends to Paris last year, and again this year. I guess its a collection of works primarily from the students, but a few teachers pieces will be in there too.

So you're a photo student. I heard about Mrs. Vanneman's trips. Do you get to go? I took a similar trip with a teacher named Charlie Schuler from the humanities dept back in 2002. We went to Italy and Switzerland. I was really thrilled with the history and culture over there. Been trying to go back ever since.

I'm becoming a photography student. I was only taking the photo classes previously as electives, although my past 5 electives have all been Photo degree courses. So this coming semester I'll more or less be an official photo student.

I went to both Italy and Switzerland when I was about 10. I don't remember much, I've always wanted to go back to Italy though. Paris was great, but I'd really like to take the money for a trip to Paris and spend it backpacking across Europe for a month or 2.

Mrs. Vanneman and her husband get to go on a lot of trips, I guess she is finally starting to share the experience with these Paris trips. The first trip was just 2 weeks in Paris, the second one she did a week in Paris then a week in southern France.

If I go back, I'll have to schedule some Hostels and train passes. Half our money before went to hotel - which when you are out nearly all day, and come back to shower and sleep, I don't feel the need for the expense. Maybe a day or two here and there in a hotel, the rest in hostels is fine for me.

Maybe next summer - I planned to try to go back in 2 years after that last trip to Paris last year. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
