“How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.”

I uploaded a new video on Monday. It's a new format I'm trying out - show the taking of the photograph and then the printing of the photograph. Please subscribe if you're interested in Scotland and analog photography.

Been doing some film pushing tests lately with certain developers. Just HP5 pushed two stops to 1600 for starters.
- ID-68 the classic pusher (Microphen?), not bad.
- Pyrocat semi-stand, impressive.
- FX 55. Push? What push?

I’ll bet there are unscrupulous sellers out there who would label their Tri-X as gluten free even when it’s regular Tri-X! Be careful out there! Some people will do anything to make a buck.
