[Leica] Divided D-76, and the lower 9th ward

[jsmith342 at cox.net (Jeffery Smith)]

I'll give it a look. I just developed the two rolls (they are hanging to
dry). I was in a bit of a panic to get both rolls developed while my
mother-in-law was upstairs. If she is in the kitchen, I ultimately end up
just chucking the rolls in the trash...she is a complete menace when I'm
trying to develop film. This time, I screwed up by rinsing between solution
A and solution B (I got frazzled when I discovered she put away my funnel,
who knows where). I hope it doesn't have too much of an effect.

Jeffrey, has anyone mentioned the divided D76 technique John Brownlow wrote 
about a few years ago? There might be something there.
