Interesting. But there was a trailer for a movie about Robin Bell that was circulating about 7 months ago (it's gone from Vimeo now) that was much more captivating then this. I agree with an earlier post: it appeared a little too dramatic, like she was dancing around the darkroom for the camera.
Thank goodness, though, that someone is capturing this stuff on video. There's a whole generation that doesn't realize that pictures can come from someplace other than an SD card.
Having spent five years living and working there, I had to cringe when the film was brought to her in those paper envelopes, negs all stuck together in a lump, and everybody handling them with their fingers. Brought back some nasty memories (I'm talking to you, PICTO)
I ended up renting a darkroom so that my negs would at least have a fighting chance.
I like the bleaching of the whites of the eyes; I used to dodge those, but I'll try the bleach method.
Anyone hazard a guess as to dilution?
actually I think she's using it as flattener since her prints are screen dried. interesting workflow nonetheless.
notch codes ? I only use one film...
