are the pics from your blog with your coolpix? they look really good, some look like they're from
a DLSR. and what did you use to capture the blood moon - I would be shocked if that's with a point and shoot?
film is so much fun! I spent years processing black & white and color as well and countless hours in the dark room. is there a cc college by you with a b&w class? that would definitely get you motivated. or even just taking a vacation to an area completely different from your current surroundings can inspire you. and definitely get some Polaroid film, it's a lot of fun & you could even just take fun snap shots of your friends and family
