After spending 40 dollars at Creve Couer camera in Edwardsville for developer, fixer bath etc.... I called Ed Crimm of STLPA.COM and asked if he would help tear through my virginity on developing 120 film. Ed had his own film company for awhile and so he had to get everything out of storage. Any way we are at his his studio on Hoodiamont off the Delamr Loop. He got everything mixed, conquered the first roll with results. I did study every move he made. I got in the black box, looped the spool, grabbed the steel tank and went to mixing. We concluded 70 degrees and 10 minutes would suffice. I am super duper stoked on doing this, crap'ola I get result. I am so glad that Ed was kind of enough to take time out of his day for schooling on developing film. I thought he said it was years last time he had done this, like that poof Jedi sense was there between student and master.

| The Negative from the first roll. |
I have shot many of 35mm film and always out for to be processed by someone. When I got this Imperial Reflex I knew this was a must do by hand. So my cherry got POPPED on developing, so hooked. The smell of the fixer reminded me of Maritz lab's in Fenton,Mo. My mom worked in the developing department for their film, huge giant machines with pools of chemicals. A smell you can't forget.

I took the negatives to Creve Couer Camera to be scanned, suck's that I must wait about week to get them back but hey, this project is coming along. When I get the Digital back, we post it up on here.
