Nice to see it, Bill, and also not to still have any of it. That sky seems threatening for more. May I suggest cropping out about half of the empty sky in number one (though this may be sacrilege to a Rollei negative)?

I have a rule of thumb, I only crop a square neg if I'm printing in the darkroom. Actually it was a brightly cloudless sunny day.

Another shot from the same day, my friend Lindsay enjoying a moment in the sun.

Thank you, I love what I'm getting out of HP5 and HC110 dilution B.

Bill,

Nice sharpness, beautiful tones. I love the portrait shot.

I put a roll of B&W in my Zeiss Ikoflex IIA on Sunday. You are inspiring me to take it for a walk.
