Yeah, we had a blast! One fellow from PN showed up, and another guy just walked up with his vintage Pentax ME Super and started chatting - we all walked together for awhile. It was a great time!

We missed your red dress.....
But your wife is a joy to talk to and she seems to take the "widow" part real well.

AGGGH!
disaster sturck last night
I was developing the 3 rolls on Foma200 I took that day, 1 in a single tank and 2 in a double.
They were developed with 5 minute difference one to the other in order to process then at the same time.
Rodinal 1+100 for 20 minutes was the plan (water at 75F)
Th double tank was filled first, then the single.... but for some reason betond my understandong only the single tank came up with images... the film in the double tank was completely clear. Just like if fixer had gone in first!
ARRGGHHHHHH anyways, just wanted to vent

My sympathies! I have, and I am sure most here have had, similar strange happenings. Judging from my own past experiences: Either the fixer did indeed go in first, or the batch of developer for the second tank didn't get mixed, and it was water only.
Of course, there are always the photo gremlins to consider.
Again, sorry to hear. I know how disappointing something like that can be.

Very sorry to hear it, but it could be that any shots you took of my ugly mug have thus been removed from any danger that anyone might actually see them - a blessing done for the public. Just a thought!

The funny thing is that I mixed the developer at once for both tanks
I didn't even bring the fixer bottle out until I was in the middle of the development... as a just in case measure
This maybe a better explanation of what happened....
