Film Time!!!

Still rockin’ the darkroom. It looks like I’ve got some work to do tonight—time for some good tunes and get the timer ticking.

This load took a little longer than one night. I have too many film types to get it all done, but I did get the five rolls of 35mm done, and that’s a start.  My problem with the 120 film is that the development times for rotary processing are not as easy as for Kodak films.  Kodak has development times in grids for every conceivable type of development method and dilution for each of its developers and films (small tank, large tank, deep tank – with and without gas agitation,  rotary tube, and of course open tray for large format.  I’ll have to get into Ilford’s website to see if I can find something similar. Otherwise, I’m left with a time minus 15%, or so the basic Ilford developing grid says.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
