Salut,

New post? That's right, I finally developed a roll of film that I'd been carrying around for the last month. I got all my chemicals and essentials, however they sent me the wrong graduate which meant I had to guess at the amount of developper to use (two teaspoons seemed about right...).

400TX
6 mins in HC-110
2 30s stop boths
7 mins in fix
1 min wash
1 min hypo
10 min wash
1 min photoflo
everything at 68F

The results? Check it out:


At first I thought I over developped, but the highlights were fine, it was just that I had no shadow detail...scanner issues? who knows.

Ok so like with all stories, I'll start with teh beginning:

Dave finished with school and came up to DC for a couple of days before heading out to Paris.


He wouldn't be my brother if he didn't have at least a little attitude ;)










Metro to the airport. Felt like I was in the middle of nowhere (which I was).









Standing around waiting for the bus to Dulles.




Sunday afternoon at work...Get. Me. Outa. Here.





Mo was in the neighborhood..and then there were two.





We left work and hit up G-town mall for a bit. Cool.





Mr. Kazoo. This guy was rocking out at the end of this alley with a kazoo and guitar and I just had to take his photo (Mo made the introduction). Very cool.









Fast forward three weeks: national gallery of art.






The french impressionists were what I wanted to see. There's also a small gallery on early east european surrealist photography. I had weird dreams that night.




Wardrobe malfunction? Janet Jackson wasn't the first...





Ladies and gents, my kitchen sink:
