Of all the things I know
I understand almost nothing

The house...


...my grandparents lived in, 45+ years ago. They were on bad terms with the whole family, I was twelve when I learnt they existed! And went there to ask. From then on regularly. Rusk and cheese, canasta. My step-grandmother was German, cooked "Rheinländisch". In the summer, tea on that tiny balcony. Nice memories.

Efke R100 in the 1950< Ferrania Ibis, and Jeroen: thanks for the AM74 (6min 1:7)

7 opmerkingen:

  1. No thanks, AM74 is very well suited for the classic films. Unfortunately, Amaloco now is vanished, and not all the products are available. Rollei RHS developer should be a good alternative. But then, Good Old Rodinal is the better choice I guess!

  2. Rodinal is perfect for careless old men. Developing film while drinking absinth.

  3. Oh, and about the picture: These houses, they have character! Photographing this, helps to keep the memory, although you have no memory problems I believe :)

  4. It's more a curse than a gift, alas!

  5. I found out recently though, that Rodinal and Fuji NEopan don't mix. Very disappointing.....because I lost photos as a result.

    Glad you got to know your grandparents....

  6. I'll ask Jeroen - he is a fotonicus (!?) Maybe Neopan is C41? (B&W but colour-chemics)

  7. PS - I had a look at the neopan data, and did not see a reason why Rodinal wouldn't work. It takes everything, HC110, Microphen, all the normal stuff. So...?
