CWC Pics

[Dr.Research]

My HS photography we developed our own prints. We were discouraged from wasting the paper but I don't remember there being any specific limits. Dark room was going but due to size constraints only about ten people were in at a time.
Did CWC develop those prints? I have trouble imagining him successfully developing the film and the prints.

I took photography in high school too and we had a pretty nice dark rooms, enlargers, cameras to borrow, ect. We only had to pay for paper if we were caught wasting it. I think my entire class could fit in the darkroom but some of the enlargers were shared.

My darkroom had a paper near the chemicals that said how long to let the paper stew in it for. Generally by the end of the year everyone could just go with their gut about how long to leave the stuff in and how to adjust the aperture and lighting. Although I'm sure we all know Chris would never develop that basic sense that comes with everyday practice.

If you could win PSN trophies for doing photography and getting good at it, you'd be shocked at the level of potential Chris has. But since photography is a real life activity who's only reward is the satisfaction of being creative and knowing you do a job well, I have trouble imagining him successful.

I love this 360-degree-view of the manchild's lair.

This way, you get a comprehensive idea of how crammed full of toys, anime memorabilia, vidya, hedgehog crap, LEGOs and other stuff it is. In the course of the years, it probably deteriorated further, more toys and dirt and dust piling up, the windows becoming blind, etc.

I like especially how he printed "Christian Weston Chandler's Video Games" on the racks holding his vidya, like a little kid would:

I see Chris is a fellow Bubsy fan.

Yes yes, I like Bubsy.

 

[Artard]

That panorama shot is so incredible.

The only thing I don't like about it is it should have a green haze, like the videos. Sort of like the cinematography of '70s dystopian movies like Soylent Green.

I love the (ugly, to me anyway) script font. How very chic.

Yes yes, I like Bubsy.

That's Ulillillia's game too right? Is it two player, I'd love to see them co-op. No I don't want to subject the innocence of Uli to Chris.

Look at that room, and people say he has no hoarding tendencies. And that's just the walls, can't imagine the floors.

All those stacks of VHS under the desk and tv.

And of course the infamous Sonic totem creeping behind the transformers, gives the final creepy touch.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

I love the look on his face when he's walking into the room in that picture. Like he's all "Who let you in here?" to whoever took the picture.

I'm surprised you were able to read that much from his expression, most of the pictures I see of him he's making that "dull fish" face.

 

[Butta Face Lopez]

You wouldn't be surprised if you knew me.

I'm kind of surprised there's a window unit in his bedroom. Did 14BC not have central air?

That's the tragic thing, Chris has shown basic competency at many things, and it's clear that like you say, if he put his mind to stuff he could have a lot of potential. But he has absolutely no motivation to achieve anything meaningful, he just wants to accumulate more PSN trophies, vidya gaems and sex toys.

As I recall, in my photography class we all chipped in, and paper/chemicals were bought in bulk.

I remember there was one girl who, looking back, strikes me as the small female version of Chris. Completely socially inept, but also incredibly selfish. About once every couple of weeks, she would turn the lights on in the darkroom for some mundane reason like looking for her bag. People would always get mad at her for ruining their pictures, but it didn't register. I wonder if Chris ever did that.

Considering the level of disrepair the house was in, even if 14BC had central air I doubt it would of been working properly.

If they had an AC, I'm willing to bet that it was clogged with used packets of ketchup. That just feels right.

 

[Seattle Trip to Neverfree]

It saddens me to think all that went up in flames. What a waste.

And of course he picked the gayest font.

When all this stuff caught fire, there must have been a remarkably high release of toxic gases - it's mostly plastic crap, a lot of it made in China where health regulations tend to be lax. So, when the fire spread to Chrissy's room, there may have been a miniature version of the WWI Somme Battle in Branchland Court.

You meanto say it wasn't a toxic environment before the fire?
