Why, thank you! It's my goal in life to be a photographer.

Well done, then, do you develop your own..?

I mostly do digital. I've done traditional developing before, and it's wicked fun, but also wicked expensive, and I don't have my own darkroom (though I wish, wish, wish I did!). I wish I could do more!

Dark rooms can just be a room with black plastic over the windows and a dimmer light bulb... nothing much that you could do abou the expense, though... a lot of high schools have darkrooms, you could ask them if you could use one of those...

Yeah, it's not so much having the space, but not having the equipment. And in any case, the high school I graduated from (ie--the one in my town) no longer has their photography labs. I should know; I took basic photography in 11th grade, and then came back to take advanced in 12th, and discovered that they'd stuck me in digital. When I asked why, they told me that they'd gotten rid of the labs. Where did all the equipment go, that's what I want to know.

A lady came into my work yesterday with a fox tail on her keychain. I asked her if she got it at Faire, and she said no, but that it was her pet. I ^_^'d.

For reals? I hate things like that; like how they used to sell those "lucky" rabbit paws. I think it's really sad.

Well her pet fox died, and so she--instead of having the whole thing preserved, settled on just the tail.

That's...both sentimental and creepy. And I thought it was weird the way we had our old cat in the freezer for a few months because she died in the winter and the ground was frozen so we had to wait until the spring to bury her...

One of my uncles was a taxidermist so when his dog died he stuffed it.

Heheh... cool... I've never had anything stuffed, it would be fun to make your pet into slippers... I think I'll do that when my cats die...

He stuffed everything and would mount his fish when they died. He wanted to be stuffed too, but his wife had him cremated instead.

That would have been creepy otherwise.

Only... a lot. I mean, what the hell do you do with a stuffed person, anyway? Stick them by the door as a coatrack?
