You can see them at: <http://homepage.mac.com/abridge/PhotoAlbum7.html> The thumbnails may, for some reason, not render right but the larger images seem to be okay. FlowerPower1969 - comes from a Kodachrome slide I found in my dresser drawer. It was taken the spring of, well, 1970 as it turns out, not '69 but whose counting at THIS distance. I think the colors held up well. It was taken with my first Leica, a III? I bought at Brooks Camera in San Francisco for $200 with lens. It lasted until it fell overboard off PARCHE in Charleston, SC Monsoon-storm - was taken Labor Day weekend in south-eastern Arizona. The light was low and behind me. I stopped to take this picture because the telephone poles and reflective road markings were glowing. This is Tri-X at 400 in XTOL. It was my first or second run in the Jobo processor, done 1:3. Coast - was taken at the mouth of the Thames River in Groton, Ct. I liked the contrast in textures. Same processing etc as above. Standing out - a 688i submarine stands out to sea on the Friday after Labor Day. I don't know which one she was. It's difficult to photograph a black vessel and reveal much. I'm not certain if this one is Tri-X or TCN and I don't have the negative in front of me right now. Either an M6 with 90mm f2.8 or an R8 with 100mm APO. I still have a lot to learn about how to process film in the Jobo and get the contrast I want. Ah the joys of learning. Suggestions and comments most appreciated.
