I use that same dilution for Fomapan. I find that it's easier to print. If I use 1+31 I spend more time with split contrast trying to get it the way I want.

My wife at her first ever book signing at an old bookstore.
Speed Graphic with Aero Ektar lens, 1/40 second. I set the camera on
an antique school desk for stability. I ran out of b/w film, and had to use
color. Behind me was a window to a cloudy/rainy sky. I'm colorblind, but it looks like each
side of the aisle was lit by different sources? Developed by local camera shop.

Good works Ootsk,

here some use "OOTSK - Urban Dictionary
www.urbandictionary.com
"Order Of The Sleepless Knights."

I used to live next door to an odd bookstore

He bought books by weight

Later we realized it was also a flop house for very strange folk

They slept hidden in the carrels

and we never saw them come and go

night critters

I was and am still strange

Rent was cheap, most tenants were deaf or worse

I just missed a big hunk of building falling on my pillow

My lady lit her hat on fire and didn't know it

I attacked and saved her huge Afro

Good old days

miss you Norma!

That name is from a Jimmy Buffett song, 'Gypsies in the Palace' and it does refer to
Order Of the Sleepless Knights, so good catch. I picked that name back when AOL came on floppy disks.

So good. Was this a modern lens or retro lens?
