Yesterday midmorning found me in the West End for the 2015 edition of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. This year, I joined a group led by Brian Anderson, with special guest Ted Forbes* of The Art of Photography podcast/youtube fame. I’ve been watching Ted’s podcast for many years, now, so for me it was sorta like …

Harmon films – Kentmere 400 (1)
I had a bit of a problem with the LC-A… it wouldn’t wind for some reason, so I stuck it in the dark bag, opened the back, unstuck the film, wound it back into the canister a bit, shot through to where I figured I was on the roll, and only then did I research …
Harmon Films: Ilford FP4 Plus (1)
Results from the Kentmere 100 were a bit disappointing, with blown highlights and clumpy grain. Both, of course, possibly the result of the 24℃ temperature or some other development issue. I followed times and temperatures included on the box for the FP4 Plus, though, so let’s take a look and see how it held up.

Road Trip!: Eureka to Springfield
After the easy trip to Arkansas and pleasant visit with Mom and other family, Hana and I headed out to Springfield, IL to visit an old friend and former professor and check out where I did my undergraduate work.
Expired Ansco, meet R3 Monobath (4)
The Ansco was/is a beautiful film. I’m glad to have another roll to shoot… I think I’ll stick it in the freezer for now, and use it for something special. And the R3 Monobath is an excellent, easy developer. I look forward to using it again… I should probably pick up a couple of rolls …
