After getting off work at the park district at 10:00am, I ran 13 miles in a misty rain.
After the run I ate a Jimmy John's sandwich, and then went to Meadowbrook with my camera. The day was gray and wet, a good day to photograph the female sculpture and the black field (Thanks for reminding me about this, Melinda!). I stood in the rain making 11 exposures of the sculpture from various points of view. As I was photographing a girl passed and asked if I was Larry Kanfer - what a joker!
When I returned home I developed the film. The negatives of the sculpture were exposed/developed correctly, so I will have a chance to make a few prints soon. I also developed a roll from my trip to Door County this summer. The Door County film was Tmax 100, and the sculpture film was Ilford 100. The Ilford requires a longer development time by 2 minutes, so I gambled and developed the 2 rolls together. I was curious to see how the Door County film would take 2 extra minutes of developer. Fortunately it looked good, so I need to make a note that if I want some extra contrast in Tmax negs, 2 minutes extra time won't blow the values to black.
The night tree and road print I made yesterday had dried. The stains on the bottom edges did not disappear upon dry down, so I will be trashing the remaining blank sheets.
