TL-120 with Ilford Pan-F processed by DR-5. I miss DR-5, just about everything I ever sent them came out looking amazing.

Jim Harp “Double Trouble”

Jim Harp – Double Trouble
Photographed at the Air Power museum in Farmingdale NY, October 2019. TL120 with Vivitar 285H fill flash. Ilford Pan-f, DR-5 processing. DR5 suggests rating Ilford Pan F at ISO 20 so this was probably a half second exposure.

I used to travel to Upstate New York quite frequently. My friend Erich Hadfield has over 250,000 78 rpm records piled up in two barns about 20 minutes apart there. After I purchased my TL-120 I started taking it on my record buying trips instead of my Realist. This photograph is one of a series of shots of an old abandoned boarded-up school house. On the side of it is a large pentagram-type star. I was drawn to this school house because of all of the history, memories and stories it contains. I tried to imagine what this place was like when it was operative and thriving. I like the depth between the viewer and the school house, but I’m not crazy about the soft foreground grass. I’m considering re-mounting this one in a cardboard landscape mount (if I can get my hands on one) and masking out as much of the soft-focus grass as I can. I shot this on Ilford Pan F Plus, and it was processed by dr5. I shot the roll at whatever ASA his site suggests for this film.
