Developed my FIRST EVER ROLL of 120 film

Mystery 100 iso Lomography film too. I searched for development times, but ended up using a guesstimate based on Kodak 100 at 9.5 mins with D-76 1:1.

Observances: Film is too slow for my Holga on normal, sky shots are over and Ajax shots are under. Loading 120 onto reels is way easier than I thought it was going to be.

I have 2 more rolls left of the Lomo film, after those are done I don't think I'll ever use them again. First its totally overpriced. I was desperate to try my Holga with 120 film and it was a Friday (all main camera/film stores are closed Friday afternoons and all day Saturdays). Second I searched and asked around for development times. I mainly use the Massive Development Chart for times when I lose packaging. Third, I like using Illford.

Spring semester needs to start soon so I can go back in the darkroom and get printing.

I decided to make a photo album/journal/sketchbook using my Holga. I'm having a lot of fun trying things out with it, I figured I should just document it.

I got this perfect camera bag the other day at the Army Navy store on 8th Street. Fits my Holga, film, phone, pen and paper (oh and No Brain and Ajax the Doggy pins) perfectly .

Black and White with my Holga 120N

Shot two rolls this week of the snow and neighborhood on the Holga. It's been a really long time since I have developed negatives at home but even with our new smaller sink I managed pretty well. However when it came to hanging the film to dry I ran into a snag. We used to have a curtain rod that was movable that I could shift to the center of the tub, but now we have glass sliding doors. So what to do... I grabbed my Katana from when I cosplayed as Tashigi from One Piece and used that.

I have a roll of Illford HP5 in now almost ready for developing ^.^

I got a Holga ^.^

I've wanted one for such a long time, so for finishing the semester without going insane I got one.
I shot my first roll with it modded to hold 35mm film. Hopefully tomorrow I can have it developed (hoping that the snow will hold off till later in the day). I also have my eye on a Golden Half Camera, but I can wait for graduation to get one.
