Be Our Guest

            Sands Motel in St George Utah.  Feels like 1955 all over again!  

Shot with Graflex Optar 90mm w.a. on Miniature Speed Graphic from the early 1940s.  Shot at 1/320 f/16.  Film is 120 Kentmere Pan 100 which I had in the wrong box.  I thought it was Holga 400 until I unloaded the film holder.  SO, since it is technically underexposed, I stand developed it in Kalogen a little stronger than usual 1:80 vice 1:100 and let it stand for 90 minutes.  Don't know if that mattered but all the negatives are gorgeous.  You would be proud to introduce them to your mother...  Fixed in Hypam Rapid 1:4 for 5 minutes again stand only because I only had a FR developing tank available and it is FULL at 600ml and I didn't want to mess with it.

The fixer is very saturated with silver but still doing its job.  I amlost wonder if there isn't a bit of chrome effect here from the silver because, as someone said earlier, the negatives are gorgeous..... 

This Kalogen is about 3 years old now -- still the first batch!  I think it gets better with age....
