So Wednesday I found out I did my film speed test horribly wrong, but I figured out how to do it AND that I’ve been mixing my developer wrong for 3 years!!!  No wonder my negatives are so crappy!  So I reshot the film speed test today and will develop on Friday along with a whole slew of other things that are on the To Do List for Friday.  

Today I finally talked to Malcolm about the internship at the museum!  She really liked the work I was doing, but now wants me to journal persay everything I’m doing.  Kind of like a conservation journal.  Basically this should consist of high quality images (somewhere around the best 1/5th of the number of pieces I do) printed 8x10 and some context of what it is, why I’m shooting it, the provenance of the pieces in the group, and the condition of each piece.  Basically per group of images (a group being defined as things that are similar and from the same collection that I will be photographing) it should be between 1-2 pages and have about 5 images.  So I’m going to try to start shooting the pieces with my own digital - since I know how to effect the quality of the images so that I can print it out.  Plus I’m gonna try to take the laptop back to the studio area so that I can actually type the journal as I’m working on the pieces.  So all of this sounds super cool, but its gonna be so MUCH work!!  But she said it would be a great thing to have in a museum portfolio, so thats awesome.  Plus she’s gonna talk to some people in St Louis to see if I can get an internship of some sort in the Conservation area (which is what makes all the money in the museum world it seems like).  But thats all I can think of it is how I have to go back and do all this work on things I’ve already done.  I’ve finished one huge collection of diarams and models and yesterday I did a bunch of photographic plates.  So now I have to redo all that basically and check the files to get information on them.  The cool part of this is that I’ll actually learn (hopefully) why we have all this strange stuff at the museum archive.  Now I just have to figure out how to fit it into the rest of my schedule.
