I have been shooting some 120-format film recently, and finally had the chance to develop some of it a couple of weeks ago. My Dad and I had a big film developing party in my parents’ basement. I brought out my new “film processing kit in a box” to run it through its paces. My Dad brought his stainless tanks. We had a blast. We developed something like six rolls of 35mm, and four or five rolls of 120. It has been a long time since I did that, and we had a great time. There was one old roll of Tmax 35mm that lost its emulsion in the tank. I’m not sure what happened there, but my Dad was loading that reel and said that it felt really brittle. It may have been heat-damaged or something. There were a few shots on there that were salvageable, but the rest of it was toast.
The shot above was taken during the Three Rivers Arts Festival in Pittsburgh. Jenny and I like to go every year and check out some of the music. We usually go on a Skyblast night, so after listening to lots of music and checking out artsy things, we’ll wander over to the city side of the North Shore across from PNC Park and watch the fireworks.
I’ve been using 500px for posting some of my personal work. You can find more of my recent medium-format black and white work here. Also, another one of my favorite shots from an earlier outing in Washington, DC (also testing the 500px embedding stuff):
