It's very dry right now in L.A. 
I have nose bleeds 4 times a day.
Some guy keeps punching me in the nose.

That's a stupid joke-


All kidding aside, I recently started using D76 instead of Rodinal
and noticed that the film was curling more than usual. I thought it
may be some strange combination of developer/fixer, but they do get
pretty flat after a few days of stitting. Just not as flat as when
I get them from the lab. Maybe I'll press them once they're dry.

Thanks,

feli
