On Sunday I loaded my pinhole camera with Kentmere 100 and went to the Albuquerque Veteran's Memorial where I met up with three other New Mexico film photographers. We got off to a good start with coffee and donuts thanks to Joe Van Cleave. I managed to. document breakfast, but the rest of my pictures there did not amount to anything worth sharing. That was not surprising as I never seem to perform well with the cameras when there are other photographers in the immediate vicinityAs I told Joe, I was reminded of the Optimist's Creed which I recalled from my childhood:Since I only used half the film roll at the Veteran's Memorial site I took the camera a few days later to Old Town to finish up the roll, and I had a bit better luck with the pictures.
I usually process Kentmere in PMK Pyro, but I decided to develop this time with Rodinal at 1:50 dilution. I thought it turned out pretty well, so I may try the same combination again.

Joe Van Cleave posted some nice work recently from his falling plate pinhole camera on the 35mmc website.
