Request please? May I have the photos you took at the wedding? Please? I'm assembling a scrapbook for L&T and would like to get as many photos to pick from as possible. Would you pass this on to anyone you know who was taking photos and give them my email address? Please? ladi underscore lavinder at yahoo dot com.

And let's get together soon. Do you have plans on Saturday the 27th? We could give you a ride to [livejournal.com profile] chesuli's party if you'd like. :)

I'm not sure when I'll manage to get the film developed (I guess I should mix up some chemicals and do the BW myself, though I haven't developed TMZ myself yet), so I don't know whether I'll be able to get the film ones to you before you finish assembling the scrapbook. I'll try. (If I can scrape together the money for processing, I may hit you up for a ride to the lab ...)

I only shot a little on digital, because I figured so many other people would already have the digital side of things covered, but I'll send what I shot. If I can remember how I split videos into individual frames before, I'll check whether anything from the cell phone is worth separating out. (As I probably mentioned, the most I really expect to get from the cell phone videos is enough to make animated icons.)


Do you mean the 29th? If so, I probably oughtn't go because I have a gig in PA the following day that I'll need to get up early for (and be in condition to walk around a large site), but I'm Very Tempted to go anyhow, especially with a ride already being offered, because it's been so long since I made it to one of her parties. Count me as a maybe, leaning toward yes but still weighing how much I trust my body.

I think I might have some $$...How much do you expect processing to be?

We usually stay at [livejournal.com profile] chesuli's parties pretty late. Having said that, if you decide you want to go, we can leave if the body complains. I know how that is. Just let me know.

***handing you spoons and hugs***

Whoops, didn't mean to let this response get so late...

I've gone through the digital photos and tweaked contrast and such (there's one where I really hope somebody with a better camera got a similar angle). Right now the ones worth showing anyone are in GIMP .xcf files; is that good for you, or should I save them as jpeg (or something else)? And: email them (what address?) or put 'em in a temp directory on the web and just email the URL? (About 30M in xcf, will of course be much smaller in jpg.)

Lab costs: if I drop off everything, I think it'll be ~$100 (very rough approximation) for develop&print (it's not a cheap lab, but he does good work), less (uh, about half?) if I get contact sheets instead of individual prints; 2/3 as much in either case if I get around to developing the BW film myself[*] ... are you looking for prints or scans? I don't remember how much this lab charges for PhotoCD with developing (I've got a price list around here somewhere but can't find it at the moment), but if you've got a film scanner, or scans from prints will be enough, or you plan to work with prints anyhow, then I can skip that part. (I do plan to put these rolls at the head of the queue for when I get some spare cash to spend on them, regardless of what help I get in that department.

The lab I use is up in Charles Village.

One roll, by the way, is rather experimental and may or may not wind up having anything useful on it.

Party: I shouldn't go -- based on how I've been feeling this week, I shouldn't tempt fate -- but I'm feeling more and more tempted to go the more I consider it. Seeing [livejournal.com profile] sjo this week and realizing it'd been long enough since the last time I'd seen her to forget how much I liked her voice, reminded me just how seldom I've gotten out to be with friends the last several years. Let me try to find out what time I'm going to have to leave the house Sunday morning.

[*] ... with the caveat that when it comes to printing from the developed film, I am an utter novice.

When I get the rest of my Pell refund (I got almost half but it went mostly to accidental overdraft charges), I'll let you know. If it's around $100 or maybe even slightly more, I can do that. I can't do $150 if it gets up that high. I should get the rest of my Pell money soon.

For the digital prints, if you can convert them to .jpgs that would be good. If you can zip them and email, that would be convenient. Downloading from web directory is easy enough for me too, if that would be easier for you.

Re: Party...Offer still stands if you want to go. But please don't hurt yourself and push too hard.
