I shouldn’t have looked up dressing tables and found them to be only about $90 on Amazon.. my brains sparking with ideas. In order to get one I need money and in order to get money I have to work, and in order to work I have to not be dead tired and thus sleep take me!

I really need to start developing my Jack and Jill’s Mischief series.. and Freestyle or B&H better get some more 4x5 Velvia 100 in soon or we’re gonna have a problem…

What to do.. what to do.

Just developed a sheet of film with Caffenol for the first time, that was fun I hope it scans well-ish.

I used Caffenol C:

  • Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals
  • Arm & Hammer Washing Soda
  • Vitamin C
  • Distilled Water

It’s Acros 100 dev’d for 17 minutes.. it’s a night shot and still super thin but hopefully it’ll scan half decent.

Yesterday's Large Format Don'ts

  • Don’t forget a lens when shooting
  • Always check the weather patterns.. a wooden camera in the rain = not so great

On a side note my Nikon Nikkor W 150mm F5.6 S makes really freaking sweet bokeh. Thank you guy in Japan for the awesome deal and like two day shipping.

Large Format Don'ts

Don’t forget to close your shutter before you take the dark slide out.. Why isn’t the shutter going off.. Oh.

It will easily turn your 2 second exposure into about a 10 second one.. not so great.
