Pentax 645N SMC Pentax - A 645 Macro 1:4 120mm Exp Delta 100 DDX 1+4 07/18/2022
This is my fourth roll of 120 Ilford slow speed film that has had this mottling problem. Ilford has acknowledged the issue and replaced three rolls of FP4+ for me that had the same issue. Information on the issue can be located here:
- www.ilfordphoto.com/statement-120-roll-film/
I'm not going to bother Ilford with this roll as it has been in the refrigerator for a while and is past the use by date. I purchased these rolls in late 2020.
They are all worth the same.
I took the same picture back in September 2017 and was the first picture in my "Green Estate" series using Lynch's 5 elements of the city descriptors. Since then this play area has been described as being like Chernobyl in the UK National press.
For context behind the wall is the River Cole and the Cole valley, to my right is a fairly new housing estate and a magnificent ancient oak tree that deserves TPO (Tree Protection Order) status (there are no TPOs in North Solihull), and over my left shoulder Bacons End Bridge (a grade 2 listed foot and road bridge from 1764).
This whole area is due to be flattened to provide road access to the Simon Digby field for a new housing estate.

As 2019 closes, thoughts of new beginnings stream anew, meandering; encountering obstacles; redirecting. The path forward is unclear, but the water will find the way.

"Node", a 102 ft. tall pubic art sculpture by New York artist Roxy Paine (1966- ) at the Yerba Buena/Moscone MUNI (Municipal Transportation) station in San Francisco, California.
"Node" is the tallest freestanding sculpture in the city. The stainless-steel form reaches upward from a 5 1/2-foot-thick base reminiscent of a tree trunk. From there, it curves as it extends upward gradually tapering until it's just a quarter of an inch thick at its peak. The sculpture was intended to function as a way-finding landmark for the station.
These nodes, placed along the upper level platforms, mark where the streets above lie. Each one is lit up in a different color, marking 45th to 48th street with shades of green, blue and purple.
Node 1, the first element of the International Space Station to be manufactured in the United States and the first to be launched on the Space Shuttle, is unloaded in its container from an Air Force C-5 jet cargo transport at Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility runway on June 23, 1997, after its arrival from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The module was then transported to the Space Station Processing Facility. The Node 1 module was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-88 on December 4, 1998 along with Pressurized Mating Adapters (PMAs) 1 and 2. The 18-foot in diameter, 22-foot-long aluminum module was manufactured by the Boeing Co. at MSFC. Node 1 functions as a connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the International Space Station. It has six hatches that serve as docking ports to the U.S. laboratory module, U.S. habitation module, an airlock and other Space Station elements.

'Although Oscar Newman’s seminal Defensible Space was a decade away from publication, it is clear that Brooke House provided a sense of communal surveillance to a city centre otherwise devoid of population after closing time, allowing Basildon to avoid a situation where its centre could become a ‘nogo area’

This beautiful wasp was visiting a nest every 15-30 minutes, but I never saw it bring prey. It did excavate the nest hole some. I was able to set up a tripod and stake out the site. The wasp was slowed, perhaps, by the slightly cool weather--70s (F)--on a cloudy summer day. Happy Wing Wednesday!
