With the help of yesterday's barber, Bobby C, I was guided several blocks away to a barbershop located in the basement floor of a large skyscraper in the middle of downtown Cleveland. Maria's Executive Barbershop is an appointment only, high class, full service barbershop featuring everything you could possibly want out of the barbershop experience. For one flat rate, you can: get a hair cut, shave, facial, shoe shine, or even just relax on the couch and pour yourself some Cognac. No matter what the service, Maria does it with a pleasing, professional demeanor.
As you can see, lighting was dim, and using the mirrors in the room to my advantage, I was trying to get the most out of the shot without going "too dark" with the super-wide angle lens.

Plastic barriers ready to close off the access to the Coast Guard station in anticipation of the Royal arrival.
Last of the "spotted films" - I will filter all the solutions today for another batch - and use my anti static gun to clean the Aerecon film and see if that improves the situation.
Looks like the Parrot took a chunk out of the cup. It was god that they were open - as this was on Jan 1 and everything else on Granville Island was closed!
Photographed September 2018 / Rolleiflex 'Old Standard' TLR camera with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 7.5cm/3.5 lens. Film was ILFORD HP5 PLUS metered at ASA 200 developed in PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 25ml B > 600ml, 7min 10sec @ 20*C). The negative (which is underexposed) was illuminated on a light panel and 'scanned' with an iPad mini using the Film Scanner app. against a medium grey reference negative. The image was processed & finished in Flickr. Even metering this batch of HP5 PLUS @ 200 ASA the shadows are underexposed I should have given another full stop of exposure.

This series is inspired by The Street of Crocodiles, by Bruno Schulz, whose young protagonist notices vagrants reading cracks in the sidewalk as though they were hieroglyphs that revealed some prophecy.
Mozart Statue in the Burggarten was erected in 1898 and moved to its current location in 1953. Vienna’s love of Mozart is seen in the monument’s prominent location just next to the Hofburg complex.

Shot on Kodak TriX film with Bronica ETRSi, Macro Zenzanon 100 PE, E-28 extension tube.
Developed in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 for 14 minutes, presoaked for 2 minutes.
Still one of the best 50 mm lenses around - though offerings from Voigtlander and Zeiss is nipping at it's heels. The Millennium version of the Nikkor 50mm f1.4 for the Nikon Rf is almost as good - but lacks the close focus of the Summilux Asph. This is at f1.4 and about one meter distance.
Well gushing really, it was pouring down at the time. Tries a couple this was at 1/15th I think and for me worked best.
Test root with Acros 100 in Pyrocat HD. The test root is interesting, it changes character depending on the weather. Pouring rain it goes dark grey, here it is drying in patches and in bright sunshine it looks like bundle of dried bones. I think there are about 260 conniptions now, films, developers,cameras and lenses. Did not know that I would use it that much when I started it 6 years ago!
Greyfriars cemetery and kirkyard. Another photo from my last trip to Edinburgh. I am not quite happy with this one - it was my last photo for that day, and I was quite tired, therefore it is not particularly well composed. I wish I had a better view of those tombstones, and less of those Martian probes on a chimney.
I developed this negative in Pyrocat HD 2+2+100, stand development for 1 hour. As a result I have an extremely contrasty negative with a lot of density. I think it will be a huge challenge to print this with silver gelatine, but may be just what doctor ordered for alternative printing. I noticed a lot of edge effects due to stand development, and I am not sure if I like it much, it makes the buildings stand out like cardboard cutouts against the sky.
The grain is not really there, it is just a scanning artefact when my scanner hits high density; but I noticed some strange streaks along the negative edges - this had never happened before with rotary development.
Conclusion: never again I would use the same development method. :)
Is it only me, or do others have this almost irresistible urge to pull out an apple in the bottom row?
I suspect that these markings are done just to make you believe that the city crews are actually going to so something, sometime.
I kept looking up too - but could not figure what held his attention. Sunny f16 and about 1/2 -3/4 stop under exposed.
Photographed July 2018 / FED-1 rangefinder camera with LOMO T-43 , 40mm/4 lens unit 'hacked' into an Industar-26M focussing unit. Film was FOMAPAN 100 bulk stock metered at ASA 80 developed in PYROCAT-HD. Negative was digitalised in a JUMBL scanner and image was processed & finished in Flickr. I note that this batch of FOMAPAN 100 would be better metered at ASA 32 or 50 ...there is barely enough shadow detail when metered at ASA 80 (probably because there's a very low silver halide content in the emulsion!)
Photographed June 2020 / Praktica VF 35mm SLR Film Camera with Carl Zeiss Jena ’zebra’ FLEKTOGON 35MM/2.8 lens. Film was KENTMERE400 bulk stock metered ASA 200 developed in sodium carbonate version PYROCAT-HD with added 4-aminophenol hydrochloride (PAP.HCl) 2.5ml A + 25ml B + 0.05g PAP.HCl > 300ml, 7min, 20*C). The negative was illuminated on a light table and scanned with a Pentax k3 DSLR and Schneider COMPONON-S 80mm/4 enlarging lens on a helicoid extension tube. The image was edited on an iPad mini using the Snap Seed application: full frame scan of entire negative area with slight trimming.
Steadier hand and stopped down to about f16. Some fiddling with sliders in LightRoom ti up contrast a bit.
Focus is on the closest branch of the plant. No problem shooting at f1.1 - O think it ended up going to 1/60s! Truly gloomy weather.

Memories of the Kutná Hora veteran rallye.
Shot on Foma 100 film with Bronica ETRSi camera and Macro Zenzanon 100 lens. Developed in Pyrocat HD for 12 minutes at 20°C.
On purpose I left the last couple of frames "on wiped". There was an amazing amount of dust stuck to the static cling of the film. Looks like an old pre 1900 negative!
Kate, one of the workers at SNO, holds out a transplant. I forget which vegetable it is, but I'm sure it's in my notes somewhere.
