Getting a large format camera. Then those same freaks talked me into developing my own B&W film. So after hours in a hot, stinky, pitch black room tray developing Delta Pro 100 4x5 film and turning on the lights what did I see?

I will tell you what I saw, blurry images! Of course that could have been from the tears in my eyes once I saw the tack sharpness of the negatives, or maybe it was the awesome tones, or perhaps the thought of exactly how big I could blow these up with absolute clarity? Man, if you ever wanted to know what it takes to make a old man cry..... that will do it.

To those who did this to me, I hate each and every one of you (I already ordered more film and am off to get more prints tomorrow, damn you!).

Yep. We ganged up on him. Tied him up. Held him down. Twisted both arms. Forced him to do it.

I reckon his prints will put us all to shame.

Next????????????????????

Alan, eddie has some motor bases for sale at LFPF. That's the first step to daylight developing.
