I understand almost nothing

The morning after

The 4Days-carnival is over, the DAR workers achieve the impossible: a clean city in less than 24 hours.

4 Days Marches Чаика


Not really a test, the Olympus film was in Eastman VSOP, and this Chaika film in fresh seventies Реактив, so let's not compare, just say that the little 1970 Chaika is not bad at all! Better than expected - like the weather this week.

Pontoon-bridge 2012



Tradition: 4Days-thursday: the pontoon-bridge near Cuyk. Always interesting, this year again the weather was friendly (I love pontoon-bridges in the rain!) but so were the girls who served coffee and a cream-muffin (whàt?!)



On my old ФЕД-2 was a younger Industar, I put the 1973 Ilford fearlessly in seventies Реактив.

Vierdaagse

First: the weather is not as bad as predicted. Second: this is the last film in the centenarian. Lasted almost six weeks, several films and what you see here is half frame (and 1973 Ilford) so chapeau, uncle Eastman!

My ± 1973 Olympus Pen only does 1/30 at F22 but I don't mind.

Be Unstoppable

4-Days Marches in Nijmegen, and the weather is sàd. Let's just hope for the best...

The Eastman centenarian I prepared over one month ago still works, but it's getting tired as you see.

In the ± 1970 half-frame Чаика II was 1973 Ilford FP.

The students? Give them a bottle of beer and they won't mind rain nor rubbish...
And walk, walk, walk.

Good advice?

I got this with some very exciting Tabloid developer from Burroughs Wellcome & Co.
I can't find a date, probably ± 1926, "for Gaslight Papers and Lantern Slides".
Not sure if I want grease on my fingers when handling film in the developer...

("Hazeline" still exists; I will explain the word Tabloid when I show the results of the developer test later, it's interesting.)

Cathédrale engloutie

There's a lot of building going on in my home town, the big church seems to drown. We can only hope for the best, (knowing that in the past....)

# La Cathédrale Engloutie, famous prélude from Debussy ± 1910, maybe just as old as the developer I used.
