#Kentmere

Bought some film and chemistry today. Renewed my stock. Let's see how long it lasts.

- #Adox HC-110 developer (made in USA, packed in Deutschland). It can be stored up to two years, but the bottle is not too fresh, unfortunately.
- Adostop powder for making stop bath.
- Adofix II powder for fixer.
- 5x 120 #Foma 200 retro
- 5x 120 #kentmere 200
- 5x 135 #fomapan 200 creative.
Yes, the cheapest film available. But honestly I had great experience with foma 200 before. It gives right contrast and grain up to my taste.
I'm new to HC-110, curious what will be the result.

Today, in a sleepy pink suburb somewhere between a forest and a river, I drove past a woman standing with an “ICE OUT” sign. This is Tom Emmer’s district - a Republican stronghold. I honked. A few cars behind me followed. Nothing dramatic. Just recognition.

And it made me realize something. I can’t recall any large-scale MAGA protests during Biden’s presidency. Yes, there was January 6, an attempted insurrection at the very end of Trump’s term, but even then, they failed. Not because they didn’t show up, but because there simply weren’t enough of them.

For years they’ve been telling themselves horror stories about us. That we’d take power, destroy them, indoctrinate their kids, turn everyone transgender, erase their world. They were afraid. Truly afraid. And still, they didn’t come out into the streets in any sustained, collective way.

That’s the part that gives me hope.

It turns out MAGgAt's energy works best online. They complain, they posture, they rile each other up at rallies, but when it comes to actually showing up for something real, they’re strangely amorphous. People without shared values don’t mobilize well. People driven by fear don’t last long outside comment sections.

Meanwhile, someone stood on a street corner with a sign. Someone else honked. Others joined in. Quietly. Naturally. Without needing permission.

Viva la #Minnesota.

Black-and-white photo of a snow sculpture showing a simplified human figure leaning forward and pushing against a large geometric block of ice. The sculpture stands on a snowy riverfront, with a frozen river and bare winter trees in the background under a clear sky.

I've been busy today - first time I've developed the films in one day and two films in one tank! Scanning will take longer though...

Morning on Padre Island. Gulf of Mexico, Texas

There’s a weirdo who periodically drops into my comments to “correct” the name of the Gulf of Mexico. The confidence is impressive. The grasp of history, not so much 🤭

American settlers didn’t arrive on empty land. They moved into Mexican territory and proved unable to do even the bare minimum required for coexistence: learn the language, engage with the culture, or accept the end of slavery. When adaptation failed, annexation became the workaround 🤷‍♀️

Long before that, this region was home to the Karankawa and Coahuiltecan people.

But sure, keep correcting geography. There’s something very fitting about historical ignorance delivered with absolute confidence 🤭

Early morning scene on Padre Island, Texas. A wide sandy beach stretches toward the Gulf of Mexico under an overcast sky. Gentle waves roll in, and the shoreline curves into the distance with no people visible. The light is soft and muted, creating a quiet, empty coastal atmosphere

Black-and-white photograph of a large wooden troll sculpture made from reclaimed materials. The troll has an open mouth and expressive face, with several children standing and walking around it for scale. The sculpture is installed along a paved path in a park-like setting, with trees and grass visible in the background.

Snow art in Stillwater. This is how #Minnesota says things. Especially to ICE ;)

Snow sculpture of a large rectangular block with the words “SNOW BALL” carved into it, sitting on a snowy ground with scattered snowballs at its base. The winter environment and distant landscape are visible behind it

I'm not sure if there is something like the perfect roll of film. But the one I shot at the start of the month is perfect in almost every way.
I shot #Kentmere 400 at ISO 800 in a beautifully lit cemetery. Every shot is a keeper and the development was a blast. I had no issues with water residue or dust on the film.
Plus: I got to shoot my #Leica in beautiful weather and had a lot of fun.

🇺🇦UA: Ранкова кава на Падре-Айленді. Кавʼярня з контейнерів, ніби тимчасова, але явно тут надовго. Всередині фотографії з подорожей, дуже впізнаваний настрій дороги, пилу й зупинок. Місце приємне, спокійне, без зайвих прикрас.

Їхня версія колача мене, як українку, трохи збентежила. Колач все ж таки від слова «коло», з цілком конкретним сенсом і формою. Тут же я отримала мафін з сиром та беконом в середині. Дивно, але смачно. Тож обійшлося без образ :)

Black-and-white photo of a small coffee shop made from stacked shipping containers on Padre Island. The building has open container doors, a drive-thru sign, and a round coffee shop logo on the side. Overcast sky, empty surroundings, and a quiet coastal roadside atmosphere

Small cushioned stool leaning against a large street pole on a cobblestone sidewalk, with several newspapers scattered underneath; blurred cars and buildings along the road in the background.

A black-and-white photograph of a river in Des Moines with a large arched bridge spanning the water. Bare trees line the riverbank in the foreground, and low city buildings are visible beyond the bridge. The bridge and sky are reflected in the calm water under an overcast sky.

Erste #Filmentwicklung des Jahres #2026: Der #Kentmere 400 von gestern, den ich hier in steinaltem (zwei Jahre!) #Microphen, das sich bereits #gold verfärbt, auf 800 pushe. Funktioniert noch immer, wobei die Einstellung der korrekten #Temperatur durch einen temporären #Defekt im #Thermometer erschwert wurde. Ist ja nicht so, dass im Winter eh nie die richtige Wärme aus dem Hahn kommt. Mit etwas heißem Wasser habe ich es übrigens wieder gefixt bekommen.
