My Bob Dylan expired HP5 shots

In September 2009 I found a film can of mine with a roll of HP5 in it that was never developed. It was shot in 1978 at a Bob Dylan concert in Fort Worth, Texas. Ilford technical services guided me through the development process. We expected a heavily fogged result, but were surprised to find wonderful images that withstood the test of time. Ilford used my shots in the October 2009 PhotoPlus Show in New York City. Nikkormat ELW shooting HP5 @ 800 ASA in Ilfotec DD-X 1:4 @68 degrees for 11 minutes. Here is a shot of the original film tin with film rolls as I found it, and a French magazine article about the film rolls.

 

NOTE: The Ilford company's snap of the booth on the left generated the Canon EOS 40D EXIF data. I don't know about the rest of you but I find it ironic as hell that they used a digital camera ))))))).
