For this month’s 10 on 10 (or you know, 12 on 10) we went to Williamsburg for a 3rd grade history trip. Inspired by the Intro to Film workshop I have been taking with Becky and Ryan, I took only my F100 (and my iPhone). I shot one roll of TMAX 400 which we then came home and developed in the kitchen sink, and scanned on our little office scanner. While shooting and developing film is nothing new to me (having my hands in that black bag, fumbling for the can opener, trying not to cut off my finger with the scissors, and making funny concentration faces while shimmying the film onto the reel is like coming home to a familiar ritual), films have changed some in 20 years, and scanning film is a completely new adventure. I am sure someplace like Indie could do a much better job with these (and some day I will send them my black and whites!), but for now, being able to shoot, develop and scan within 2-3 days time is the most satisfying thing for me. Second only to spending the day in a darkroom…
