D76 Popsicle




Oh yeah, Julie's ratting me out.

In the middle of the chasing around to move the film from the drum to the trays, I forgot I had left a beaker of D76 in the freezer while trying to bring it closer to 68 degrees.

About three hours later, Julie finds a frozen beaker of developer with a thermometer sticking out of it. I never knew you could freeze this stuff.

The black layer of dektol in that tray has been there for a decade I think. It couldn't be any more permanent if I had fixed and washed and lacquered it to the tray.

I feel it adds to the character of my equipment.

It's kind of like having an old, familiar coffee mug with permanent stains inside.
