I had a Minolta SRT101 that I bought before we left the States. I started out shooting both color and B&W film, but the color slide film was bought from a camera store in downtown Arak. It was several years out of date and stored in the store's front window in the bright, desert heat. It was also developed in the same camera store, probably using water from the jube (sewer) that runs through the middle of town. I was so disappointed with the results that I put the film away and never looked at it again. I continued using B&W and developing it in the bathroom with chemicals that I ordered from Freestyle! I recently got some of the old slides back out again and decided they might be worth archiving, if nothing else. They have a kind of pointillism that I actually like. Maybe it needs to be more abstract? The actual film name is not right because it was not listed, but it is Agfachrome of some kind. http://www.pbase.com/image/133036443 Keep in mind that I have hundreds of these slides ;-) It takes me about a day to remove all of the dust and scratches.
