In my earlier days, I experiemented
with a variety of B+W films and processes. My parents bought me an
Olympus OM-1 for HS graduation. I enjoyed the camera for many years,
using mostly a 28mm lens for my artistic work. In College I constructed
my own darkroom, a color head enlarger for 35mm work, a 4X5 condenser enlarger,
and a 4x5 viewcamera (pics to come...)
Most of my serious work
in college was done using Kodak 2415 film, developed in Ethol TEC.
Prints were made on Polycontrast F, using the color head's filters to adjust
contrast. Development for three minutes or more in Ethol LPD developing
agent gave the results you see on most of the displayed works. The
cover page with the elephant sign was on high speed Kodak 2484 at ASA 2000.
Print was made on Alfa Bromide #6. You'll recognize works that used
this paper right away as I post them. -Bob
