I shall have to assemble a small album of these; they may be of slight interest to those few cranks, reactionaries, flat-earthers and eccentrics who, "in denial" of, and unable to "handle" modernity, persist in using film and doing their own processing. With the real ale aficionados, the people who don't watch television, prefer open fires, keep free-range hens, continue to write letters, refuse to use the self-service checkouts in supermarkets, attach some importance to the correct use of apostrophes and don't own mobile phones, they are among the very best people in our society. Never mind. They'll all be dying off during the coming decades, leaving future progress unopposed.
This was from my one and only attempt at "stand" developing. We are in Oxford Street on Tuesday 20th September 2011. The film was Rollei Retro 400S developed in "Rodinal" (actually Adox APH09) for an hour with only thirty seconds of agitation at the start. I failed to record the dilution, but it was probably 1:100. Well. You can see that mysterious dark area in the sky. Now what caused that? The fault extends through the upper part of the closest tree, so it seems to be a fault associated with the highest, rather than the lightest, part of the photograph. In the other frames, the problem is mostly confined to the top right-hand quarter of the photo. Apart from the sky the photo looks reasonably OK.
Five short years ago only one of the passers-by appears to be using a mobile phone. How unimpressive Oxford Street looks these days. Divested of its traffic and furnished with subtopian "street furniture", is this the main "popular" shopping street of a world capital ...or the high street of ...I dunno, Swansea?

Sometimes memories are not at all like the actual event, yet they are what stays with us and eventually become reality.

I love my Cuisinart Food Processor. It works really good and doesn't leak like my old Kitchen-aid one did!
"i pensieri seguono il filo sottile delle ore
lo spazio ingoia il resto.
(intanto
le partenze sono i piccoli drammi del quotidiano
ma basterà seguire il sentiero per fare ritorno)."
Let it run the duration of Kirlian Isles III (by The Flashbulb off the album Kirlian Selections) and saved out prints every 100 frames. Also saved the camera view into a 100MB video.

Its not super interesting. I actually like the first couple tests more than this one, but I decided to go ahead and post it with the video so those that are interested can see more of the process. This image is the end product of 34 overlapping layers.
