The lighting in the picture of Peter is all from his Apple monitor. I know I'll get good-natured scorn from digital advocates when I relate that I had to take emergency actions in the darkroom when I processed the SnowFeet negative. I have no meter sensitive enough for reading the streetlight illumination, so I guessed a series of bracketed exposures, but forgot about reciprocity failure. When I looked at the film under the green inspection light after 8 min. in Rodinal, there was barely an image to be seen, so I mixed up a tank at 1:12 dilution and gave the roll another ten minutes. This produced good density on two frames exposed at eight seconds, so it all worked out. I still enjoy the darkroom.
