We went downtown to check out the “Taste of Africa” festival and while walking to the venue I saw this man trying to walk down the stairs of the Indiana World War Memorial using his arms. I think he was trying to climb all the way down, but kept falling somewhere around the mid-point. I was afraid that he might lose his balance and hurt himself. I just like the way his pose/body contrasts with that of the sculpture with its hands raised skywards.

Neopan 1600 is a personal favorite, though I rarely use 35mm. I tried using Delta 3200, pulled one stop. It was decent, but there’s something about the Neopan’s that I just love and cannot explain. Maybe it has something to do with 1/500 and F16!
Also, I just tried my first development with HC100, and it was smooth! I mostly use D76; have you experimented with many developers?
I like that exposure setting too but next time if I would dial back my development times a little, may be 12 minutes instead of 14 at Dilution H for the HC-110. I always used Ilford Ilfosol, but since I started developing my own film again I have been using HC-110 primarily. I find it to be very versatile and I can store it in concentrate form for a long time unlike Ilfosol which tended to go bad as soon as I opened the bottle.
