B&W Film processing in the tropics. #filmphotography

Twenty minutes ago I took a one litre bottle of fixer out of my fridge. It was about 4 degrees C. I sat it on top of the fridge to warm up while I went and mixed up the developer and loaded the film on a spiral, reminding myself in the process how much I dislike 35mm film - give me 120 any day.

I just checked the fixer. It is now 25C. A 20 degree Celsius rise in temperature in just 20 minutes just in the ambient air.

I think I should be processing C41...

10 years ago today - birthday party

Jung-chul_kids


7th February 2002. It’s hard to believe this is a decade ago. This school where I taught for a while in Shihwa used to have a party each month for the kids that had birthdays that month. The kids would sit there in their hanbok, wearing crowns, surrounded by treats like pizza and fried chicken while we sang Happy Birthday to them.
