Pitched detail of the Hiberus Hotel under the early evening sun (Zaragoza).
Architects: Martínez Lapeña - Torres Arquitectos, Barcelona (José Antonio Martínez Lapeña y Elías Torres Tur).
Developers: Zaragoza Urbana. Palafox Hoteles.
This horizontal-shaped building boasts a construction quite untypical for an urban hotel. Minimalist in many ways, it looks pretty cold for my taste, yet it neatly fits in its natural environment, smartly protected from the strong regional wind and the outside noise by glass and concrete walls, which are different in size to provide a unique perspective. // Este edificio horizontal exhibe una construcción bastante atípica para ser un hotel urbano. Minimalista en varios sentidos, tiene un aspecto bastante frío para mi gusto, aunque encaja muy bien en su entorno natural, inteligentemente protegido del fuerte viento regional y del ruido exterior por muros de hormigón y vidrio, que tienen tamaños diferentes para proporcionar una perspectiva única.

Bloomington architect George Miller designed this beautiful Queen Anne style house for Edward & Ora Gridley in 1885. Edward Gridley was the son of Asahel Gridley, a local land developer and attorney. The house was preserved by Alice Light McTurnan, whose family lived here from 1904 to 1996.
The Edward & Ora Gridley House is a contributing property in Bloomington's East Grove Street District. This residential historic district includes 43 houses and apartment buildings, 25 of which are considered contributing buildings. The houses in the district were built between 1855 and 1915 for many of Bloomington's upper middle class residents. Due to a building boom between 1880 and 1900, the then-popular Queen Anne style is the most prevalent in the district. Other popular architectural styles in the district include Greek Revival homes from the 1850s, Italianate homes built between 1860 and 1880, and Arts and Crafts homes built in the 1900s. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

It used to be a pub. The Sun Inn offered everything the traveller needed including accommodation and a beer garden behind the building. These days, pubs are being converted into residential homes and developers make sure that the yard behind is turned into accommodation too, rental or other.

On this stretch of the famous “Mother Road”—the primary US highway connecting the Midwest and West Coast from the 1920s through the 80s—the road is a pair of roadways—the now unused old road (where I stood to take the picture), which was washed out in several places west of Summit Valley by the floods of 1938, and the “new” road, on the left, built as the original road's replacement. As you can see on the hillside near the center of the image, an enterprising local rancher has cleared away the brush in the form of a “66” to commemorate the famous highway, across which generations of Americans migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.
One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.
For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.
Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.

i already love this film or the developer makes the difference.
No matter! how do you like the results?

Every time I come to San Francisco, there is some kind of smart-ass billboard along the highway ... "ask your developer," it says.
Ask her what? Whether Twilio is better than some other provider? Whether the cloud is here to stay? Who comes up with these crazy signs?
Fortunately, it doesn't matter very much ... by the time I come back again, this billboard will have been replaced by something else just as mysterious.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Nov 21, 2015
************************
In early November 2015, I flew from New York to San Francisco to take a weekend street-photography workshop under the tutelage of Eric Kim. As you might expect, I took gazillions of photos; but not all of them were specifically associated with the workshop itself. On the way out to San Francisco, I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone; and during the weekend, I took a number of photos that had little or nothing to do with street-photography per se.
I’ll upload the photos in dribs and drabs during the next several days, and let you decide which ones are sufficiently interesting to warrant a second look…
I've tested 9 programs for the purpose of processing challenging nightscapes and for preparing images for time-lapses.
