This was difficult stuff to go through and edit. I took these pictures on my last day in Walnut Creek. This was the last time my older brother was lucid and coherent. Soon after we left, his condition deteriorated. He has since cut off all of his hair and spends most of the day sitting with his eyes closed. I'm glad that I was able to see him and be with him when he was still the brother I knew and remembered. Still, viewing these pictures and editing them has been far more difficult than I imagined. http://www.400tx.com/2006-33.html On a more positive note, this is TRI-X developed in 777. If you are anything less than elated with your current B&W developer, do yourself a favor and try some of this. When people ask me to describe 777, the best I can tell them is that it does to film what Dektol does to prints. It develops them just the way you want them, and it is easy to use. And it doesn't die in the bottle. I don't think I'll ever use anything else for TRI-X. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com http://400tx.blogspot.com/
