    He lives on a hilltop on the edge of the village, there are no neighbors next to him.

    The marks are consistent with the orientation of the image, if that means anything. Very nice images!
    I'm using Arista.edu which is Foma 400, and I get lines like that, in both 5x7 and 4x5. Not sure what's up with that.

    My tolerance of film defects has waned significantly over the last year, or so. And I'm not sure this is a film defect... just sayin'

    I'm not sure it is either. But I have heard 2 other people mention lines on their Foma negatives that look basically like that. And I get them too. It's a little weird. Something to do with their cutting process?

    I just want absolutely perfect, defect free negatives. Is that so wrong??

    If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right.

    Re: April 2012 Portraits

    I was in Myanmar last month for the elections, and spent six hours on March 22 following Aung San Suu Kyi while she campaigned in her constituency. The fellow with me was shooting digital and video, but being perverse, I took only my Ikeda Anba 4x5 and a cell phone. During the day I shot twelve sheets: six color and six black and white. When I returned to Bangkok I immediately burned up my film scanner, so these were scanned on a cheap combo-printer scanner. These are the best of the black and white (the transparencies will not scan at all).

    Suu Kyi is normally smiling and waving on the stump, but here I caught her in an unguarded moment, looking like the campaign was taking a toll. She is 66 and a bit frail, and a day or two after this she suspended her campaign due to exaustion. (hand held, guess focus, Shanghai 100 developed in D23 in a hotel bathroom)



    What looks like a portrait of a an NLD campaign volunteer is actually a missed shot of Aung San Suu Kyi (entering the frame at the right). I was shooting my Ikeda Anba handheld, guessing at focus and framing, and got this a half second off. Had I had the 135mm on, instead of the 210, I would have got it.



    And here is one at the rally. She is a great speaker, very charismatic.

    Damn, talk about a missed opportunity.... were you seriously trying to cover the events professionally? Why were you there other than coincidence?
