all the supplies you need to get started doing your own self-developing (oh, plus a digital timer- forgot that!)
Yachats, Oregon. The light gray rock is old mudstone, the reddish-black rock is overlying basalt lava. The little knob of light gray rock in the red-black lava? Probably stirred up and mixed into the lava as it flowed over. This is called "breccia." The cave is probably developing along a seam of loosely congealed breccia. Cool? Cool.

In the 1950s, LeTourneau Inc. developed several overland trains, essentially oversized semi-trailer trucks that could travel over almost any terrain. Their intention was to be able to handle logistics needs without being dependent on local road or rail systems, allowing them to operate in back-country areas. Following a demonstration of the VC-12 Tournatrain, the US Army had three experimental units built with an eye to the requirements of building the remote DEW line, starting with the TC-264 Sno-Buggy.
Impressed with the results of the Sno-Buggy, in late 1954 the Army Transportation Corps asked LeTourneau to combine the features of the Tournatrain and Sno-Buggy into a new vehicle. LeTourneau called the result the YS-1 Army Sno-Train but the Army knew it as the Logistics Cargo Carrier, or LCC-1. The LCC-1 combined the wheels of the Sno-Buggy with the power system of the Tournatrain to produce a 16x16 vehicle with one locomotive and three cars capable of handling a load of 45 tons in total. The control cab was itself articulated into two compartments; a heated driving compartment in front for the crew of three, and a rear section containing the 600-hp diesel engine, generators and fuel tanks. The cab also sported a powered crane on the rear.
In spite of starting the project before the VC-22, the LCC-1 required much more customization, and was not completed until January 1956. After testing at the factory, it was handed over to the Army in March, and continued testing in snow at the TRADCOM proving grounds in Houghton, Michigan. After acceptance, it was sent to Greenland, and then traveled around the north for some time, making its last cargo run in 1962.
The LCC-1 eventually ended up abandoned in a salvage yard right behind Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska. Today, the LCC-1 now has a permanent site at the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, Yukon.
My first self-processed roll - we'll all see tomorrow how good it turned out, I promise. I can't wait to start scanning, but I must - going out for the evening.
This design was more costume based, similar to that of drag costumes or even costumes for stage. It is designed almost entirely out of feathers/brush strokes, and has a gradient effect created by using various ratios of Quink to water.
This is my second attempt at stand developing XP2 Super in Rodinal 1+100. It's only the 3rd roll I've ever processed myself, and the second roll with the Hexar AF. Most of these are quite contrasty as they were shot in my lunch break in full midday sun.
XP2 Super rated at 200
Founded in the 1830s and developed during the mid-19th Century as a major port for riverboats, Cairo was once considered to be one of the most important sites for urban settlement in the United States, due to its location at the confluence of the Mississippi River and Ohio River, which are the two main branches, by volume, of the longest navigable inland waterway system on the North American continent. The city grew rapidly during the early decades, but due to the city’s late start in development due to its flood-prone location and issues with land companies, the increase in importance of railroads, and various other economic factors, the city never reached the lofty ambitions that its founders and early residents envisioned. Nevertheless, by the time of the US Civil War, the city was a major river port, and became home to Fort Defiance, a United States Army fortification, which was located south of the city proper at the present site of Fort Defiance State Park. After the Civil War, the city continued to grow, eventually becoming a regional center with a population of over 15,000 by the 1920s, boasting a significant business district along Washington Avenue, Commercial Avenue, and the side streets between them, with theaters, hotels, restaurants, shops, department stores, and other amenities that drew in residents of surrounding towns and rural areas.
However, after World War II, racial tensions began to mount in the city, which had a high degree of racial segregation, and in the 1960s, these tensions exploded into violence between the city’s White population, which owned most of the businesses and property in town, in addition to holding disproportionate political power in Cairo and Alexander County, and the long-neglected Black community, whom lived in substandard housing and were not allowed to patronize many of the town’s White-owned businesses. Riots broke out in 1967 in response to the mysterious death of Robert Hunt, a Black man, while in police custody, and again in in the summer of 1969, when the White Hats, deputized White private citizens, clashed violently with the Cairo United Front, whom represented the city’s Black community, demanding equal treatment and equal rights. In 1970, activists picketed outside White-owned businesses, which were boycotted by the city’s Black population, leading to the demise of much of the town’s remaining commercial enterprises, with White business owners often electing to close up shop and move elsewhere. In the wake of the unrest, and due in part to other economic and social factors, most of the town’s businesses closed, with economic activity shifting to other towns and cities in the region, leaving the downtown area a fading relic of a bygone era.
Today, the town has shrunk to 1,500 people, with vacant grassy lots and rubble from long-demolished buildings lining many of the streets, including the formerly bustling Commercial Avenue and Washington Avenue. Cairo is a ghost town on the river, and despite its important location, has been forgotten. Fort Defiance State Park reflects this in its present condition, with dilapidated facilities, and an overall lack of visitor amenities, which is, in part, due to the state of Illinois giving control of the park to the struggling city of Cairo in the 1990s, which lacked the resources to properly steward it. The state regained control of the park in 2014, but it seemingly has been overlooked, and very little has been done to significantly improve the visitor experience. The Mississippi River and Ohio River, which are two of the most significant features of the United States and have massively shaped the country’s history, demographics, and economy, gave rise to many communities along their banks, many of which had aspirations of greatness. However, many, like Cairo, have since faded into obscurity. Today, Cairo’s only claim to fame, besides its sheer level of abandonment and urban decay, is that it sits at the junction of the two largest branches, by water volume, of the Mississippi River system, waters that fed the growth of America’s civilization, industry, and population.

I often feel like there is a bit of fog over the transition from film to digital...
It's a Digital Darkroom... really
