The personification of time in a timeless classic. Sagely subtle, pastelly perfect. Echoes of a circus, neglect, time's ravages on material and the passing of eras. Wonderful.

Thanks, Phil. I used your stacked diptych format, so that it would read more cinematically.  Passage of time, as you commented.  The toxic grain of ADOX  really gives the images an “artifact” look.  The ripped screen on the window in the bottom image is from the WWII Red Cross headquarters ( facility) in Hanapepe, abandoned and disintegrating. It’s the sort of thing that Eggleston would shoot, along with every other photographer who comes to Hanapepe.  I would be willing to wager odds that none, however, would be armed with a Thambar and ADOX. 

 Cheers, Rog 🎬

Hi Steve, I don't know if there's an anti-halation layer. Here's Kodak's specs sheet though I don't see any mention of it there. I've got some 1000+ images shot on this emulsion but only the following are on my public Flickr, still perhaps they help to show how the film behaves.

I think I see a bit of haloing here:

Philip, it's interesting to learn that 5222 (Double-X) does not have a remjet layer. Does this mean the film does not have an anti-halation layer? 

From your experience does the film produce halos around bright light sources? If so would you mind posting an example or two?

I don't think I've posted this image here before. It's in my photobook, which will be presented at Offprint Paris 2019 held at the École des Beaux-Arts concurrently with Paris Photo, on 7-10 November. I've lucked out in working with what I call the Hollander Dream Team for the collaborative effort of publishing this book, comprising a photobook designer/editor, a hand bookbinder and a lithographer — all three at the top of their field in the Netherlands and internationally, having together produced many prize-winning photobooks. See my LUF thread, Photobook Publishing and its Discontents.

Usually street photographs taken from the back don't work well, but I feel this one is an exception. Also, as the various versions of my book progressed I found, increasingly, that I had to come to grips with how street photography works: much of it may appear meaningless unless you find that you've engaged with the subject in some way or that the image has some immediacy. In the market for contemporary phonebooks, the feeling is that street photography, generally, has become a spent force. I found that my book worked better when street photography was not the only, or the major, genre in the sequence of pictures.

I still have my Pentax auto 110 system from somewhere in 1978 but recent acquired a Minolta 110 zoom mark II and had some fun with it using Lomography Tiger 200 ISO film. Picture taken in Bruges (Belgium) earlier this month.

I would certainly be in the market for an ADOX Toxic Grain Dowser, if such an animal existed, but for the time being, the ultimate "dowser" is LUF because if it weren't for your awesome ADOX NYC street photography, I would be more than lukewarm clueless. Thanks so much for sharing. And, thanks for your generous comments. I thought you would get a kick out of my "poor man's" 6x17 pano that isn't a pano.

Wow, your poor man's panos are a lesson to the "rich" pano nation!  Bravo!

So here's an example of movie film stock where the Rem-jet layer ended up on the emulsion side of the film (for reasons unfathomable to mankind).

 

MP, 50, Vision3 250D

Please be advised that these pictures have no pretension to being artistically valuable or technically perfect. Furthermore they also do not encompass the full magnitude of possible incompetence available to mankind when dealing with domestic development of movie film stock that is backed by Rem-jet. Purely for illustrative purposes!

Love it just the way it is.

And here an example whereby the Rem-jet layer has mainly been remove, however the last mechanical step of wiping the non-emulsion side with finger or cloth or the like has been omitted. This cleaning step can be performed at a later stage so not all is lost for this negative.

(Long live the schmooz...)

I think one has to really think hard to bring out a storyline in this photo, which, for me, is one in which the panels of photos represent a giant myriadic mirror reflecting the faces of the girls whose backs are facing you.  Perhaps a title can help draw the viewer's mind to this storyline (as much as a title really shouldn't be necessary)...?  I also think the blown highlights inside the booth should be brought under control better b/c this is where my eyes want to immediately go, which interferes with the contemplation of the photo's story.  I would struggle as mightily as you can to restore the detail in the photos inside of the booth b/c they connect to the eyes of the girl in the front.  I am sure it is there in the negative.

Coming back a couple of times to this diptych with its intriguing setup .... a fragile construction of decomposed fabric held together by a seemingly solid thread...but , the sky gives it away,   Atropos is waiting already to cut this thread and all will fall apart. a rather desperate diptych you show us here, Rog. Thank God, we are all relaxed and fortified by weeks of sun and beach and  fun... So a bit of reality won't do us any harm 😐
