Crap

Most of this is crap, i have had a crap last 4 rolls, and it is reflected in the photos. Here are my problems:
- My developer xtol was screwed meaning i had some fun negs where it went:
Highlights (not bad)
Midtones(too dark)
Shadows (all black, not any detail at all, black faces)
FUN
- One roll got crunched by a spoool, youll see an example shot
- My lens flares like a bitch, to the point wheere i wanna swap
Anyway, all solvable… and i WILL SOLVE THEM
Here is some street photography (ALL TRIX):
Note the coffee cup like stain, thats where the spool crunched it

Heres a shot that was actually decent.
In a, i framed it too high and am no that good focusing a rangefinder yet kinda way
kidtrain
YUM, sunny and overcontrasty, with no focal point because it was sunny and i was shooting at f16 at 1000 of a second.

Believe it or not this was xtol developed trix that exhibited lots of shadow detail compared to my other stuff–>

here i remembered i have a wacom tablet. the rest speaks for itself. Photographers have interesting lives as shown in the image

ABOUT ABOVE IMAGE: real reason i took that was to test if my meter was off, i developed in lc 29 and it aint my meter, its the xtol.
Next image – InDIe CHicKs do it with holgas. I shouldnt diss holgas they are very cool cameras, affordable medium format! And I shouldnt diss this girl, anyone who shoots street is okay with me i guess. Anyway, later on, the very mean spirited will was laughing at this girl as she nearly botched her film (from afar). So here is the image:

Last and certainly least – I was trying to bounce my flash off this shiny stuff, toooo shiny, it just looks horrible and direct. Hopefully sam will let me borrow his digital and i can play more conveniently.
