This winter was blessed with very few precipitations, so I had high hopes that it wouldn’t last as long as I remember it does in Ontario. However, Spring in Madison so far has been a little gloomy. The weather was dreadful and it was colder than everyone wished for, with plenty of snow, wind and rain. So this week, I opted for two indoors events to take the weather out of the equation. 

The first one was a Scandinavian Spring dance that my family and I were invited to by a friend who was playing. And the second one was a small exhibit of Student fashion I went to in anticipation of the fashion show that took place on Friday 22 at the Masonic Center. I had planned to go to the runway show, and I had my tickets, but booking a baby-sitter for the evening proved an impossible challenge, so I’m glad I went to the exhibit on Thursday because I had to renounce attending the show on Friday. 

I don’t trust university building to have good light, so in both cases I loaded my Nikon F2 with high speed black and white film rolls, and I pushed them pretty far. If you’re going to have grain, you might as well go all the way, right?
