Alright, so I have four prints done and they look amazing! I finished them in four hours (only an hour per print...damn fast for me, even if I was using RC paper!) last Sunday, the 18th. Definitely four hours well spent.
Unfortunately, I probably won't get a chance to get any new pictures from the cruise night at K-Mart, since the weather is supposed to be pretty crappy this weekend. I do have another shot on Tuesday, since there's a cruise night at the Culver's off Lake. Anyway, I think I have enough shots already developed to finish the project now, I just would like a bit more coverage in case something doesn't work.
My plan this weekend is to get into the darkroom to print as much as possible. There's some other stuff I need to get taken care of, but I should have plenty of time to get in and knock out some more prints.
Tally so far:
2 prints of the '57 Chevy I saw in Monte Vista
2 prints of the early '60s Chevy I saw in a neighborhood near UCCS
Due up:
The Chevy sedan delivery
The late '40s Ford
The '58 Chevy
The GTO (possibly)

'57 Chevy
I have my first five photos! Finally!
Like I said last week, I went to Durango to visit my girlfriend at school. No luck there in trying to find anyone willing to let me take pictures of their cars (they have a car club there with some really nice looking '20s up to '70s cars and trucks), but I wasn't there long enough to contact anyone. Anyway, on my way home yesterday, trying to beat the big storm that dumped tons of wet snow across Colorado, I saw a '57 Chevy sitting on the side of the road next to a bank. I was contemplating stopping to snap a few photos for about a block (the speed limit is only 25 through Del Norte, Colo. so it was a long block). Once I got a block-and-a-half away, I finally pulled off, got out my Holga loaded with the Adox film and hoofed it back to the Chevy.
It was in okay condition, the back end was pretty worse for wear, but other than that, a very nice subject. I'm not sure if the photos will turn out very good, since it was overcast and 50 ISO film is so slow it requires a lot of sunlight to get a good exposure. But, if I expose the rest of the roll under the same conditions, I could develop it as though it was 100 ISO...things to think about.
