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...
