Well...it's official; I'm not scanning negatives anymore. I sold my negative scanner and I've decided that since the print is my final destination for photography, then I wouldn't do the intermediate step of scanning the negs. I'd check them out via a loupe when necessary and do the printing but that's it, not scanning. I'll scan the prints to post sometimes though, and here is my latest. I took it with my Olympus Trip 35 while driving home one night.
 

I'm starting to learn how to print color; I'm using Jobo tubes on a Unicolor roller base at room temp. It's actually getting easier for me after the last week or two of fumbling around.

This is Afga Vista (I think) printed to Fuji Crystal Archive Luster paper. I wish you could see the print in real life, it's much better than this.

WOW RP, how you've progressed, I think back only a short time and you had never loaded an M6, or processed a roll of B&W.

Now you're printing colour.

Awesome journey for you, well done.

Gary is right, great shot Wayne. I also like the cemetery series a lot, esp no. 2.

Earlier I posted a photo and wrote of my habit of spending time in graveyards.

Just outside of Madison, Indiana, is one of the Indiana women's prisons. On a hillside, facing the prison is a small graveyard that was used to interr inmates. Exact dates the yard was used are not known to me, most of the cast iron grave markers bear no identification other than a number, and a set of initials...no names or date of death. However, there are some graves marked with stone markers (presumably placed there by family following the burial) that do give name, date of birth, and date of death. From these markers I was able to determine that the latest known burials were in the early 1930's; and range from the 1920's. This would have been the age of John Dillinger (a Hoosier, himself,) Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, the prohibition era, and the great depression. The cast-iron crosses suggest the era: they are rough, simple, and durable, the sort of thing that should last through millenia...and probably will. While the graveyard has, apparently, recieved no internees in the past 80 years, the state does still maintain the yard. The galvanized Identification tags, approxiately 2"x4", are affixed in the middle of the crosses with sold rivets that are of the same durability as the crosses, themselves. It would take considerable effort- and possibly rage- to successfully deface the markers. There is plenty of evidence that such effort and rage was triggered by the actions of these mothers, daughters.....grandmothers, that lay her, at rest. The photos were taken with an ancient Voigtlander Brilliant (Focus) TLR that includes an uncoated 75mm 3.5 Skopar lens. Film was Fuji Across 100 film. Film was developed, as usual, in a 1/50 Rodinal dilution.

Thank you, Wayne. An intriguing tale which sets the mind wandering.

Gotta be honest, I can't quite recall what the heck it is/was, or where, possibly Orana Park, Christchurch. Possibly.
