One might wonder why the Y is in focus and the G out of focus. After a day of grading 20+ essays, like I did today, I tend to feel G-like: a little out of focus myself, wondering why (Y) I spent the whole day inside (and not, say, out taking photos with my Polaroids).

The Spectra SE was a gift from my sister, Amy, given to me on Jan 1, 2012, so it's only appropriate to start with a photo of her.

This is one of the only photos that came out on two rolls of Rollei 400 IR film using an Eastar120 twin lens reflex camera with the 72IR filter attached to it using a bit of creativity with gaffer's tape. This was metered at 25ISO. Don't recall the shutter speed (and, of course, I didn't write it down). Most of the photos were underexposed as I metered them at 50. Next time I will bracket, bracket, bracket (and take notes).
