Nothing new on camera

Unless something shows up on the film camera; I got no artifacts on the digitile camera during the autumn equinox. Needless to say, film has to be sent away for processing so I have no way of knowing whether or not something could have been picked up on film. I have, in the past, picked up artifacts on both the digitile and film type cameras. But As I got nothing unusual on the digitile camera during the equinox I feel pretty certain nothing will come through on the film either. If anything does; I'll report it here. The village idiot is tearing down a historic structure here in the village. Built at the very end of the 18th century, the frame rowhouse had to be one of the oldest structures in this pre-civil war town. At first, the owner complained the structure obscured anyone seeing his wonderful ultramodern garage. When that didn't go over well with local history buffs he changed his story to "The house is dangerous because it is eaten up with termites". Hiring local Amish workers for the demolition, he was going to have the structure down and gone in 3 days. That was three weeks ago and the structure is only half demolished. The workers have had problems bringing this structure down because of its extremely tough construction (no termite damage has come to light yet). Saying its the best built and strongest structure they have ever encountered, the workmen actually marvel at its construction. Being Amish they know good construction when they see it. History, once demolished cannot be brought back. This is the second historic structure the village idiot has destroyed. Soon everyone will be able to see the village idiots eyesore garage so at lest, he, I suppose, will be happy. This village is unique in that most of the main part of town was built prior to the Civil War. That uniqueness is slowly being whittled away by uncaring, ignorant, individuals who are distroying it.

Autumn Equinox photos shot

I tried taking photos as the Autumn Equinox came in (a little after 11:00 am, September 23). I used the digitile camera and no artifacts appeared on the pictures. I will make a new attempt around midnight using both digitile and film cameras. Otherwise the house has been unusually quiet. This is the begining of the seasons when the house typically acts up. I guess time will tell. Halloween is coming.

Film from camera back

Whatever the smokey artifact was that showed up in three of my digitile camera shots did not come through on the camera using regular 35mm film of 200 speed. I still do not know what caused the anomaly. The film shots were abnormally dark. My wife has made a joke of the many pictures that I have shot of those stairs since one shot showed what might be a "ghost-like" head of a woman (A lot of debate on whether its a face or not). Because of these many shots I have a really good expectation of what a picture of those stairs should look like. These pictures are much darker than they should have been; however, I realize there could be several possible explainations. I would think that my next most logical date for trying to photograph something unusual will be Sept. 21st. tomorrow., the autumn equinox. But the next best date is Halloween which is fast coming.
