Oldest house in the cove

Oldest house in the cove
I'm just getting back into developing my own film and, as usual, I'm

not being very careful. This was a several-years-expired roll of

Legacy Pro 100 film which I shot nearly two and a half years ago, left

lying around in the meantime and finally developed this week. I

wasn't very careful about spooling the film and thus left some

undeveloped patches. I wasn't careful about the developer, its

temperature, its agitation, nor its time. I likewise wasn't careful

about fixing, aggravated by the poor spooling, so I have some

silvering areas on this roll. That's the greyed-up bits at the top

here. But through all that, I get an image I like.



This poor old house is not being looked after and is going to

collapse, if it doesn't get torn down.



This was shot in the Rollei XF35, a camera I do not like much. It is

nowhere near as robust and solid as its sibling Rollei 35s (like the

35TE I have). But do not blame the camera for the faults of this

picture. They are entirely faults of the photographer / darkroom guy.

Yes, it is a kind of magic. :) No matter how imperfect the pictures, I am amazed that they are there at all.
