52@52 Week 3

I shot a roll of lith film in the Rolleiflex 3.5 MX-EVS (made in 1954, 75 mm Xenar lens) this week. It didn’t come out very well. Many of the photos, including the one I wanted to use for my theme of aging, were oddly stained. I’m not sure what happened. I’ve done semi-stand development a number of times, but for some reason, Rollei ATO 2.1 film shot at EI 25 and Rodinal 1:100 for an hour didn’t go together very well. This shot, however, came out pretty well I think.

Maybe part of aging is accepting that you can’t control everything, and that sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned, but that the way they do work out can be pretty good anyway.
