I don't often see chickens, but this little honey was running around a local barn. I popped on five textures. Four from skeletal mess and I can remember where I got that post card texture. I downloaded it years ago...

110 year old camera, 51 year old film, 16 month old home made developer.
Post Card format 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch negative. The picture is not important, this is a test of exposure and development of this old film from 1971. Kodak RAR 2490 rapid action film box speed about ISO 64. Shot at ISO 6 from Ansco 1912 #3A folding camera. Developed in 18 month old Kalogen developer about 1:90 dilution, stand developed for 60 minutes. Water stop, fixed with Ilford Rapid 1:4 for 4 minutes. All at about 70 degrees F.
Kalogen was originally a replacement for Rodinal in/during/after the first world war when Rodinal was not available in the US/UK. Instead of para-aminophenol as the primary developer, it is essentially synthesized from the metol in the formula. (I'm finding it to be more active than Rodinal in comparable dilutions)
Distilled water (50°C) .................. 750 ml
Metol ....................................... 13.5 g
Sodium sulfite (anhy) ................... 180 g
Hydroquinone ............................. 53.0 g
Sodium hydroxide ........................ 35.0 g
Potassium bromide ....................... 5.0 g
Benzotriazole, 1% ........................ 80.0 ml
Distilled water to make ................. 1.0 l
Obvious A LOT of chemistry but that is because it is a concentration. Rodinal is essentially para-aminophenol, Sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide. So this is only slightly more complex.
Weigh out the Metol and sulfite. Dissolve a pinch of the sulfite in the water before adding the Metol. Dissolve the other ingredients in the order given. A precipitate will form upon the addition of the hydroquinone which will dissolve upon the addition of the sodium hydroxide.
Transfer the solution to a 1 liter glass bottle, stopper and allow it to stand for 2 to 3 days. A small amount of impurities will precipitate out and the solution will become lighter in color. Filter the solution and transfer it to several small (2 to 4 ounce) glass bottles and label. When prepared correctly the solution will be a clear pinkish tan color. (My first batch is slightly yellow clear and there is a mild deposit on the bottom. I shake it before I use it.)
After 18 months mine is still a bright straw yellow color.
When stored in nearly full and tightly capped small bottles, the stock solution will keep for months at room temperature. Should any crystals form due to storage at low temperature, they may be redissolved by warming and shaking the bottle.
I used to live down the street from here. And part of it was chasing 5 Fulton (bus that goes downtown) to go to work. Hmmm, I wonder why the memory of chasing the bus sticks out. I could think of better and happier memories but I love the Bus chasing memory best. LOL

Yes, this is another spot in San Francisco that has been photographed a million times.

What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words in papers, words in books
Words on tv, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace
Words to make the fighting cease
Words to tell you what to do
Words are working hard for you
Eat your words but dont go hungry
Words have always nearly hung me
What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words
Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

This, and the next three images are beautiful giant-sized "old-stock" post cards that are currently available at the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society located on the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona. If you have an interest in trains, history, or just want to be agog in the presence of gargantuan machinery, a visit to their display area is a treat. Open the second weekend of each month, and everyday during the L.A. County Fair.

Another post card from our family archive. I don't remember why I did not scan the back of this one.
Both of my grandparents went to the U. of I. in Champaign. So my hunch is they took the Illinois Central quite a bit.
I usually rode coach buses back and forth from the Chicago area when I went there. But once I took Amtrak. I was surprised how efficient the run from Champaign to Chicago was: fast and no time spent on sidings. In other words: very un-Amtrak.
Piccadilly Circus post card 1953 with several London transport RT family buses in view as well as many other classic British cars and commercial vehicles.
If anyone can translate this to English it would much appreciated?
From the address appears to have been sent to family in Austria.
This is from an album of 51 WW2 German Army photos. Very few are actually named.

Following the horrific 8 hour massacre of 132 school children in Peshawar, the Tehreek-e-Taliban quickly "claimed responsibility" for the murderous attack.
Claiming responsibility for murdering helpless children is not something to be proud of in any religion.
I deeply respect Ashraf Ghani for clearly stating that this act was contrary to Islamic beliefs.
As a Christian, I was taught that Islam was the "Religion of Peace".
This despicable and cowardly act against defenseless children has sickened me to the core.

I nearly always refrain from making religious or political comments in public forums but this sickening and cowardly act has motivated me to do so.
What "justification" is there in any religion for the mass murdering of children?
