Mosman Library holds an extensive, but incomplete, set of the Mosman Daily dating from 1917. The library recently received a donation of a bound volume of The (Mosman) Daily from January to June 1923. This volume has now been microfilmed as a means of preserving the original paper and allowing people to read the microfilmed copy.
Monty's Penguin - a local eating establishment that has been around for long time, a local breakfast hangout. I only ate there once, a cheeseburger. I just like the sign.

This was one of a pair of rolls of Fuji Provia 100 I forgot about and wound up spending ages, and a few flights, lost in some luggage.
I had no confidence in the rolls and had been itching lately to try out both cross-processing and Caffenol developer. I had found my guinea pigs. :D
The first roll I loaded on a Brownie Six-20 and developed in Rodinal and was... Meh. The negative was very dense and all in all a pretty grainy experience.
For this roll, I used my Yahsica-A and the 1 liter recipe found on the caffenol.blogspot.com site: 1000ml water, 54g washing soda, 16g vitamin C crystals, 40g instant coffee crystals.
The film was shot at the box speed of 100ASA, pre-soaked for 5 minutes to get rid of the purple dye, souped in caffenol for 15 minutes with 1 minute slow inversions at the start and 5 inversions at every minute. Kodak stop bath and Ilford fixer per label instructions.
I'd knew the negatives would be really dense (being color slide film and all!) and at one point I tripped over a post where someone suggested a 1+6 mix of household gel-type bleach for 30-60 seconds after the fix and before the final wash.
I played it on the safe side and did the 30 seconds but could have gone the 60 easy. The negatives were definitely less dense than the ones I processed in Rodinal earlier.
The negatives were scanned with an Epson Perfection V600.

Several photos from a small local music event. 3 different bands but I only stopped by for a few minutes of two of them. Took a ton of photos but only saving a few. Just saving to albums, no need to comment.
***************************
Six years ago, I was in Tuvalu, one of the smallest and least-visited countries in the world. Somehow, I never finished uploading my photoset to Flickr until now.
.
Tuvalu was definitely a unique experience. .
The prime minister and his wife were on the same flight as me from Fiji. And they were sitting several rows BEHIND me.
.
I ran into and had a conversation with the form Tuvaluan ambassador to the United Nations. He chopped open a coconut for me with his machete as he invited me into his house.
.
I had a long conversation with a convicted murderer who was only released from prison because 9/11 happened and the US was busy deporting criminals. He was currently working security at my guesthouse.
.
I almost drowned when I got caught in a current while snorkeling. An old man rescued me after he heard me yelling for help.
.
I was one of only two tourists on the island at the time. More than once, I met a local when they said something like “Oh, you must be the other tourist.”
.
I had a great discussion about books and education with two women at the library. One of them made me a seashell necklace and gave it to me as I was boarding my plane back to Fiji. I was nearly in tears as the plane took off and I saw her waving to the plane. I wish I remembered her name and had a way to contact her.
.
Speaking of people who made my experience in Tuvalu special, there was a guy named Eti. He was basically an “arranger” for me and the other tourist. He helped us find a guy and a boat (the guy who saved my life) to take us to a couple of the other islands in the atoll, found some guys to go with us to the local disco, and drank happy hour beers with us almost nightly.
.
It was definitely a FUN experience,... or at least that was the airport code (Funafuti: FUN).

As I was wandering around the Venice Pier yesterday, I noticed someone had tagged "locals only" on both sides of the pier about where the line up would be. Makes me laugh! Especially because the person who did it is probably some transplant from butt fuck nowhere Ohio that has watched Point Break one too many times! Oh well, at least the sunset was good!
