developing in the dark
[posted at 09:42 GMT]    

I was just loading another six rolls to my developing tanks. In total dark and while moving in dark space and only feeling with hands I remembered when I did the same thirty years ago in toilet in house of my parents. I had only some towel under the door and one hanging over side to filter light out. It was necessary always wait for two, three minutes until my eyes accommodated to dark to see where the light leak is. Mostly under door or through key hole. I had that feeling again. Even now is cloudy and rather chilly I felt like that time in the middle summer when house was hot and sharp July sun was beaming under door through the towel.
I am happy I had such a nice childhood...

Next six

I just finished developing next six rolls. And yes I like it I like that special feel when you take film out of the fixer and you look at it. All this two hours of work for bit more than 200 images, I like it. My daughter Ema was watching me today as I was developing films. She asked some questions and than she said: "You know dad, you are surely only father from school who does this" :-) I like it!

What to say, sometimes one makes juts picture which one likes at the time and there is no connection to anything. This one I just like from purely compositional point of view and it gave me feel of space and freedom.

Every time we are at holiday in village or city and passing by the church we go in. We look around in quiet place and mostly we also burn some candles.
