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.

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.

This photo was shot on an unusually sunny and warm winter day on Kodak Gold 200 in 135 (35mm) format. It was developed and digitized at home by yours truly. This is part of my continuing quest to achieve the best results possible from film at the lowest possible investment of production time and money. I'm not there yet, but I am quite happy with the improvements so far.
Technical information:
Camera: Canon EOS 3
Lens: Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
Film: Kodak Gold 200 (at ISO 160)
Developer: Bellini C-41
Digitized with a Canon EOS R5, a Sigma 105mm macro lens, the Valoi 360 film holder, the CS-Lite light source, and a copy stand made out of an old Durst enlarger.

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.

The old Tottenham Hale was an area of low rise and mostly well laid-out buildings.
The new Tottenham Hale was explicitly designed to reduce the proportion of social housing in Tottenham - as set out in Haringey Council's 2017 Local Plan policies AAP2 and AAP3.
Following the deselection of 22 social cleansing councillors in 2018, the two successive subsequent council leaderships have rowed back somewhat from that earlier objective.
This is inhuman design, with bad overlooking, a loss of privacy, and the exclusion of many homes, especially those at lower levels, from adequate access to direct sunlight.
The turning point of planning policy in the wrong direction came with the National Design Guide of 2014, which scrapped such previous standards as the 'seventy-foot separation rule', which originated in the Tudor Walters Report of 1918.
In the last ten years, developers have been taking the mickey with ever-denser designs, and they will continue to do so, until they are stopped.
For now, let's leave the last words with Tudor Walters, 107 years ago:
'Medical opinion is unanimous as to the importance of allowing plenty of sunshine to penetrate into the rooms; it is in the winter when the sun is low even at midday that its light and warmth are most valuable. This should be considered when planning the distance between houses facing one another.'

Today it is Luke, Nicky and I. Thank you both for letting me take your photo.
Nicky is the one that got me involved in 365 in the first place!
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'm not entirely happy with this shot. The original image is soft resulting in lots of sharpening artefacts. I'm not sure whether that's due miss-focus, the Nikkor 50mm lens on the Bronica, diffraction from shooting at f/16 or problems with digitising the film.
