• In answering the question of whether you’d like your photos with less apparent grain or to be developed quickly, Kodak’s Mic(rodol)-X was firmly positioned on the “I have time for anything except for visible grain” side of the house. As the developer of choice for long-since-discontinued films like Panatomic-X and…

  • When I woke up on Sunday morning, the sun was out and the birds were chirping. At least, I assume they were. We had the windows closed and the air conditioner on because it had been quite warm; the heat continuing to accumulate into the walls of our concrete building…

  • One thing I wanted to do after Saturday’s development disappointment was to confirm that my D-96 wasn’t the culprit. There was no reason it should have been: it was recently mixed and I had only used it to develop three other rolls at the time (it’s good for 12). Like…

  • Friday and Saturday called for clouds and that is by-and-large what we received. Although I am very much in a mood for slide film, it ends up looking like a sad blue mess on overcast days, so I decided that I would give some Lomography Berlin a try. As is…

  • Since the clouds rolled in on Thursday morning, I decided on a roll of Tri-X and the Canon for my little walk. …for which I decided on wearing my little wedge sandals. Like I did on Wednesday. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, it was on this walk that my…

  • In fact, the weather was so pretty on Tuesday, that I stopped to load another roll at the corner of Somerset and Kent so that I could continue. I was going to run my grocery errands at Hartman’s Massine’s but since I wanted to keep walking, I ended up instead…

  • After having exhausted my C-41 chemistry and finding a bit of sun in the forecast, on Tuesday, I decided that it was finally time to mix up an E-6 kit and expose a little bit of reversal film to daylight. Since I overbought during the pandemic, I have a number…

  • When I woke up on Saturday morning, I was feeling pretty good. I didn’t know that I would: I’ve often needed to take a good rest after getting out for a longer time and since we were at Vegans Who Snack on Friday afternoon, I wasn’t certain whether or not…
