That looks great. You got a much smoother grain than a lot of shots I’ve seen with that stock. Most of the time it looks like sand. How did you develop it? And did you expose at 125 because of the age of the film or because it was part of the processing plan?

Meanwhile new court docs contain gruesome details about more trump-Epstain rapes of little girls and not a word of it is reported. Just the debate. The press is just like it was in Germany starting in 1933.

The way magats can mentally translate the fact that America’s enemies all want trump to win into proof of their fear and respect for him is the kind of thinking that can’t be counted on to last without getting rid of the Department of Education, in case you’re wondering why they want it gone.

This snowy winter I shot a roll of TMY with an orange filter and I really liked the tone. Red if you want harsh contrast but not my thing. The much ballyhooed yellow I don’t get. Green can help lighten green foliage, which can be okay. Try ‘em and see.

I’ve been waiting for the professor to revisit his defense of Alito in the flag matter, which was based on Akil’s having had dinner with him several times, liking him, and having heard that Alito displayed no favoritism to his own son when coaching his Little League team.

Whatever you think about Biden, look at the New York Times. They are unabashedly cheerleading for him to drop out. We should never again think of the Times as a liberal or even a neutral paper. The NYT takes sides when they want to. When they don't take a side, that's a choice.

Was just in a thread with @peterdurst.bsky.social about old school Kodak infrared film, sadly no longer in production and without anything comparable. Here’s some. M6 and a 50, and to tell you the truth, this might have been without a filter.

I wish him luck. The stuff is so sensitive to background radiation that unless it was stored in a lead bag in a fridge it might not work out. Roll of the dice. I bought some along with some Technical Pan recently and it was a complete mess.

I tried a roll of Rollei IR last week with a B+W 090 and didn’t like the film enough to think about continuing with it, though I’ll probably try some more. I only had Rodinal on hand, maybe that didn’t help.

May I ask how you meter with that film? I tried some recently, though just with a 090, and got wildly varying results.

Yes, he’s good. My concern is that he’s almost entirely unknown outside of his state. In a country that votes for celebrity (and look where that got us) that would worry me.

All Biden has to do in his speech tonight is dust off the announcement Obama made on the night he nailed bin-Laden with the appropriate substitutions.

If the shoe was on the other foot, trump would have the justices rounded up and given the choice to resign or be shot today and simply pardon everyone involved. All perfectly legal now.

Drop every fucking magat in your life. Paying for sweet little old magat grandma’s nursing home? Cut it off, let them wheel her into the gutter. Paying for fascist kids in college? Stop. They’re evil. Married to a magat? Feed them the wrong mushrooms.

Biden would now be wishing his rights to publicly announce an investigation and detention of corrupt, felon-abetting Judge Aileen Canon. Old Dems do not fight. Hand the reigns to the next generation like Pelosi did.
