I don’t normally take more than one day to expose 24 frames of film, but here we are. When I look back at my photo-making adventures in previous years, it turns out that it’s to be expected: by mid-July, the heat sets in, the magic of the high season fades, and it’s just punitive sun, drenching humidity, and sweat, sweat, sweat.
Hardly a recipe for the wide-eyed inspiration of just a few weeks previous!

On another note, I think that I am quite safe to conclude that getting the most out of T-Max Developer eludes me. No matter what inversion approach I take, those whites are invariably hot. In more shady scenes it seems to be adequate, but by gosh, I’ve never used another developer quite as stubborn.
