The start of my weekend in a few pictures - about analog photography.

The whole week was too tough, even every day i promised to myself that i will develop this roll of the ilford FP4 after the workday, i was too tired every single evening. To do something that is very exciting in this emotional condition feels like a big mistake for me, so i delayed the developing process from evening to evening.
Finally i got to my first day of weekend and decided to develop the film before everything else i have to do today. Well, i still succeed to make my morning exercises and jumped the chemical process with all the positive energy. I cooked a black coffee with cardamom and dried cloves and got even more energy for the entire weekend.

The fixer was already diluted for my previous day of developing and only needed to get it to the 20C of temperature. Usually i reuse my diluted fixer 5-6 times, this Ilford Rapid Fixer is very economical (until you process it some Kodak Tmax 100 or 400).

Here you can see the bottle with Fixer moved from the fridge to the sunny window (on the left) :-))

I bought this Yashica T2 from eBay around 10 years ago,, but never used it due to the very rare battery Yashica used for this series of their Point and Shoot cameras. But two weeks ago my friend brought me this battery. I was happy to see the camera working well and with all the loud sounds of rewinding film.

Here some images from the developing process today and finally when i saw the results (still not scanned to publish them here) i loaded another roll of film - this wonderful expired in 1995 AGFA RPX 100

That's... fine art :) I like it, thank you!
Ah, by the way, I started to put cardamon in the coffee made in a pot after my travel to Jordan, I noticed the Bedouins put this spice as well and it is even more refreshing. :)

Cheers!

thank you Jesus.
I had such a joy to take a series like this with just reversed 50mm Canon lens making the macro possible.

Here I only add brown sugar to my coffee, and sometimes cinnamon, I don't know cardamom, I don't think it exists here, at least not under that name heh.
It's good that you were able to recover your energy and you were encouraged to develop the photos from your old camera.

Cheers!
