Yesterday

So besides going to the flea market I also decided to develop 7 rolls of color film. I like developing color film because it is sooo easy. I have to say I have a Jobo color processor which makes it a lot easier. It takes roughly 15 minutes to make one run. And since I can develop 5 rolls at a time it took me (including hanging up the film up) about an hour to have them ready and clean all up. You don't have to worry about which developer to use or washing for half an hour to get rid of the fixer. After the stabilizer it is simply a matter of hanging the film to dry.
I still have some films to do but the will be done later this week.

Flea market

Today I went to a small flea market. I love going there, always hoping to find the jackpot. I didn't find my jackpot (a good graflex press camera) but I did find a really nice Polaroid 1000 camera with a polatronic flash.

I also found a Olympus pen ee-2. I already had one but this looked a bit better. Both cost me 5 euro's each. Made my day.

Darkroom

Below are 2 photo's of my darkroom. Currently I am in the process cleaning it out so I can put my new enlarger in there. Will it fit in there? Yes barely but it should work and I will have a nice little space to print some photographs. But first the cleaning needs to be done!

Durst enlarger l184

Last friday I went to Rotterdam to pick up an enlarger. I had to take a trailer with me to move it to Maastricht. It weighs quite a lot and it is big. About 2 metres tall and about 160 kilo's. I put it in a storage box because at the moment I don't have the room for it at home. So I started this weekend to clean out my room. When that is done I will take the enlarger to put it into it's final destination. Hopefully it will be in working order for Art academy starts on the first of september.
I am so happy with it. I'll post some pics later.
