Works great with Fuji FP100c!

As you probably know, the rollers were of particular importance and emphasis at Polaroid and all but the very cheapest cameras used very well-machined and precise stainless steel rollers, same as found in a 405 or other later film back. When used with the three Fuji packfilms, even the simpler old Polaroid folders produce sharper images than ever - especially when used with FP-100c. As I recall, Polaroid Pro Vivid was nearly the same.

The Benefits Of Being Friends "1st".....

I'll just cut right to the point... Everyone thinks dating is dead and we tend to settle for the 1st person who shows us a ounce of attention because we've had our heart broken or the in the event of being single for so long the one person who claims to be interested we feel the need to become "attached"..

"Wrong"....


That's where the art of "Dating" comes into play.. it gives you the opportunity to date people without all the extra baggage and it allows you to get a feeling of how you would get along with said parties. I'm sure you won't find out everything there is to know about your mate through dating but by being friends 1st you do eliminate a great deal of minor things that could be stumbling or road blocks into a blooming relationship... I suggest people who intend on being serious with someone hold off atleast a month or two before fully becoming committed in a relationship..

___________________________________________

So many people miss the whole thing of being friends and jump right into something..Learn what the other person likes and have fun.. stop making everything be romantic.. Go out, have drinks, visit social lounges, sporting events.. It's amazing how people only vibe and have similar likenesses when the bedroom is concerned.. I'm by no means excluding sex but if your looking to build something with someone push all the bs aside and know the real person... I'm so serious and I know because I've had it happen to me.. felt like somebody was the "one" to only realize the feeling just isn't there and instead of alot of sexual attachment it's best to just bow out gracefully...

Old Film Processing

Monobaths A1 and A2 have produced such low fog and good results on these ancient, 20-25 year old exposed films that I feel confident about processing even older black and white negative film, so if you have a roll or two, send them along.  I'll process it for free - with no guarantee that anything will develop - and scan them in here for research purposes and for fun, and I will send you the negatives. The older the better!

Regressing.

I’m the girl who does not care
If I’m gaining weight or losing hair
If my husband has a damn affair
I simply wimply do not care.

My boss is aloof & my colleagues are mean
Stuff in my fridge are turning green.
Not a single shirt is clean
I’m not bothered. I don’t care.

My boyfriend tells me I’m a mess.
I’m the cause for my parents’ stress.
My friends all like me less & less.
It breaks my heart. But I don’t care.

I know squat about corporate law.
Cigarettes are rubbing my trachea raw.
I cook bad enough to inspire awe.
I know I should, but I STILL don’t care.

So I turned fifty last week
So I’m getting wrinkles on my cheek.
So strangers tell me I’m a freak.
Do I look like I fucking care?

And my writers block is here to stay.
So the one thing I had has gone away.
And my first poem in months reads like juvenile crap.
And it doesn’t rhyme, by the way.

Verichrome Pan in Monobath A2

I bought a "vintage, exposed roll" of Verichrome 127 film from an ebay vendor in England who retrieved the roll from an old Yashica 44.  One frame was exposed, but the rest, sadly,  are blank.  Here we see that the image was exposed sometime after 1983, as that appears to be a 1983 Nissan Sentra, right hand drive, in the image.  Uploaded here as a larger, clickable file, so you can see it in a little more detail.

Verichrome pan is a dye sensitized thin emulsion film - though I am not sure what they mean by "thin".  The base + emulsion measures exactly 0.004".

Interesting scene of an English semi-detached, perhaps on Easter or some occasion, with the family out front.

Just processed this morning, and scanned-in minutes ago. 10 minutes at 75F in Monobath A2. 20-30 year latent image!
