My brother Sévan visited for a few days, so he sat in from of my new and big PS& synthetic meniscus. Softest lens I ever tried, so I have to be better on exposures.

A couple of friends who visited me at at art show I have on right now. I was demoing large format cameras (a bit non-sense since I'm so new to it) and loaded up some HP5+ to shoot friends as they came by. Happy with the look of the shot but the developing left a bit to be desired - there are lots of strange patterns on the negative, presumably from the development. I hand rolled this in a Jobo Expert tank and expected much more even development.. Perhaps it's flare from the Ektar?

Oh, the people background were unfortunate - there was a big birthday party for a 3 year old going on..
