This negative had gotten wet at some point in its lifetime. You can see the mold that had formed along the edges attempting to work its way to the center. Lucky for me it never made it and this lovely face was spared.
In 1978, after 110 years of business, the Childs Art Gallery went out of business. Founded in 1868 by Brainard F. Childs (1841/1842 – 1921), Childs Art Gallery operated photographic studios in Marquette, Houghton and Ishpeming Michigan. Famous for his stereoscopic views, “Gems of Lake Superior”, Child’s Art Gallery went on to dominate the portrait business and win many awards. This Glass Negative represents the quality of their art form and I’m pleased to have it in my collection.

This originally was a very damaged and stained glass plate negative. I imported from Lightroom into Photoshop Beta and using Generative AI (Nano Banana model) asked it to 'Restore, enhance and sharpen.'
This colourised result wasn't exactly what I intended but it has done a pretty good job. I'm posting it simply for a view of 1910 in Angle. The stiff Edwardian collar is quite remarkably uncomfortable looking.
Chris will know what I mean.....
The museum staircase at Bolton Museum. Had a grand day out at the Triple Exposure Exhibition in the shopping centre. What a fantastic exhibition by three very talented photographers. It's well worth a visit! Check it out....
It's hard to be in a bad mood when you're standing in the spray of a waterfall. These massive water flows are set in some of the most beautiful locations....but it turns out that the spray itself might be what creates those feelings of happiness, not simply their awe inspiring beauty.
Researchers have found that negative ions, like the ones created within the spray of a waterfall, can "boost your energy, relieve stress, and create a more euphoric state of mind overall." The negative ions get in your bloodstream and form a reaction releasing increased levels of the mood chemical serotonin. They are also thought to attach to and kill circulating disease causing pathogens through the electric charge.
So next time you're out in nature, standing next to a thunderous waterfall, stop to breath it in.....literally.
Here, Sarah is getting negatively charged and positively uplifted at the base of Chatterbox Falls. The final section of the larger James Bruce Falls (2755 ft), Chatterbox Falls tumbles 120 feet in spectacular fashion, leaving countless negative ions in its wake.

Lubitel 2.
Ilford XP2 Super 400 (120) B&W film, cross processed in E6 chemistry (normally C-41 process).
Rated at 400 ISO then pushed by 1 stop in processing.
Not sure what the red colouring in some frames is caused by - light leak maybe?...not sure. The blue cast is from the anti-halation layer, i think? (The water from after the pre-development soak was blue-green).
Processed at home with Tetenal E6 kit.
For this series I shot a few 35mm rolls of KODAK Tri-X 400 of the model, Kela, then processed those rolls in D76 to use to wrap around her.
Next I shot her with a black backdrop using a Pentax 67 and 400TX for the “Negative”.
I then made contact sheets of the 35mm frames and changed to a white backdrop for the “Positive” using the P67 again.
Film galore!
