I had a difficult couple of weeks and have been taking it easy to help my health recover. I still keep myself occupied with learning Russian and I think I’m making good progress at least on that front. Sadly I haven’t managed to actually go out to take pictures these last few days. The weather has now taken a turn for the worse too so that I feel even less inclined to do so. The lack of inspiration usually accompanying the cold seasons seems to have taken over for now. Not to worry though, if everything goes according to plan we’ll escape for a second summer soon and this should have me blazing through rolls again. I have more than enough film and have already chosen the cameras I’ll take – just the Leica and the Rollei to keep it light.
By the way, HP5+, CCH and my CPE-2 sure are a dream team. I think this might become my standard for next year, unless I get my hands on a 400ft roll of Double-X.
All pictures taken with: Leica M6, Zeiss ZM C-Biogon 35mm f/2.8.
Ilford HP5+ developed in Caffenol-CH, Jobo CPE-2.
