These were snapped in July, 1973 and for once I appear to have abandoned my favorite Kodak emulsion in favor of Ilford’s HP3 processed in Agfa’s high acutance developer Rodinal, diluted 1:50. Disclosure: TriX was better.







All on the Leica M3 with 35mm and 90mm Elmar lenses, the negatives ‘scanned’ with the Nikon D800.
