identity project (yes, again)

Still kicking around far too many ideas. I actually spent hours looking at websites on Brownie cameras (the best resource by far being here, when it decides to be friendly and load)... and I want one. And film. How fecking awesome is it that cameras from a hundred years ago still work perfectly?
(Only trouble is - the earliest ones had photo sizes of 2 1/4" square. I can't even-- there's no way I could compose images that small! Though on the bright side, it'll be perfect for a website - it'll force me to actually crop things. ^^; )
(Also, they only had six exposures to a roll of film, at most.)

Actually, the Brownie I *really* want isn't the oldest, this one was produced in the early 1930s, but it's *gorgeous* and it's art deco and I adore. <3

Hooray for Kodak! \0/

Luckily my photo of the gravestone in Pioneer Cemetary that's going to figure into the story has the names visible (otherwise I was going to have to walk over there in the snow and the cold and things..and I like snow, I'm just getting tired of being cold). I'm going to go routing around in the microfilm over in Reed this weekend, I think.. I've been curious about it awhile anyway. Plus, I need to scrounge for any info I can on the old campus..or the old version of ours, need to sort out where the campus was around 1900. -_-;

Creating and discarding a lot of background things for the characters.. thank goodness I have good sounding boards (read: a best friend who'll listen to all of my ramblings and help me out *g*), cos otherwise I'd end up with far too many clichés.

I *must* be tired out this week, I typically avoid even slight clichés like anything... x_x;

On the bright side, I have a pretty awesome layout worked out. \0/ (Here's hoping the required things to include are pretty flexible.. I really have this worked out pretty thoroughly, and I know it's something I can feasibly do. For once.)
