This is what Ray does when he's not driving the rig. Loading a couple of rolls of exposed film into the Nikor developing tank in the light-tight changing bag. Must be hard work, considering his grimace!Four rolls of black & white film, 120, taken on an old Rolleiflex and his brand-new Holga plastic wonder.
First roll out on the road. Negatives from the Holga look better than expected, and these from the Rollei are excellent. 
On closer inspection yet, there is much rejoicing! Negatives portend many happy hours in the winter darkroom (our bathroom) at home.
Here is Jeremiah's question: "How can Grandpa work with his eyes closed and yet trying to do something inside that dark bag??" :-)
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are fantastic. The Mucho Lake is beautiful, more so with you in it!
Lots of love from us.
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteMoxie received your postcard and was very excited - it's now in our fridge collection :)
We follow your blog, even if we don't comment.
Love,
the Evans
I want to spend some time in your dark room with you when you get back. I:m remembering how much fun it is!;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you will extend not only the trip but also your sharing of it by posting some of the photos after Ray's had the chance to print. A Holga, how terrific and what a surprise and delight those photos will be!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun this is traveling with you!
