Bar Mitzvah at Woodland Hills

(May 6, 2006)

Bar (bat) Mitzvah is the holiest event that photographers will face. Even if I don't use flash, photography is not allowed during Bar (Bat) Mitzvah ceremony. I met the customer at the temple in Woodland Hills before the ceremony. Rabbi and Bar Mitzvah organizers setup a few mocked ceremony scenes for photography.

Bar (bat) Mitzvah reception is a heaven for youngsters and good party for grown ups. Today's party was held at Braemar Country Club in Tarzana near Woodland Hills, California.

They started the party with 2 Laker girls. They had a lot of activities and a lot of vendors (magic, psychic, tattoo, caricature, DJ.).

Film quality test

*FYI: as of 2008 I have stopped shooting with film. I have switched to digital.

I only use professional equipment, including film.
I test all my film, and I store them in refrigerator.
Both film and digital photography have their own elements that can go wrong. So, I test my film.

I buy films in boxes, each box contains 20 rolls of film.
From that box of 20 rolls, I sacrifice 1 roll.

I do a test shoot. I want to make sure if the films are good. If the test is bad, I would discard the entire box it came from.

Today, I tested 4 rolls of film.
They all seem pretty good.

--------------------
4 rolls of film & processing $32.00
Time spent = 2.5 hours.
