True Procrastinator
It took me 8 months to develop a film. Yeap... I was postponing it for a long time and finally got it done last week.
I took almost 20 rolls of pictures during my Kilimanjaro trip; well the trip was on last year June. And by mistake I used a black and white roll. The place I gave the other rolls for development doesn’t develop black and white pictures. I kept the roll for almost 8 months and finally got it developed last week.
It was a pure mistake at that time to use the B&W film, but looks like it turned out to be pretty good. Here are some picture from the roll.

Everest
Watched Everest on DVD, this was filmed in IMAX format. I have seen this movie in IMAX before, I really enjoyed this movie so I decided to rent it again. It sucks to watch a movie in the TV which I have seen it in the IMAX. There is no effect at all. But I enjoyed all the other commentaries and the making of the Everest. Apparently they took the IMAX camera all the way to the top of the world. I don’t know why anyone will ever think about something like that. In a IMAX format to take a movie for 90 sec you need film which weights 10 pounds. Well the movie was a short one but still I can’t imagine the things they (I am sure they hired lots of sherpas) have to carry to the summit. Well if you get a chance to see this movie in an IMAX theater don’t miss it.
