dr tetenal or how i stopped fearing and started using ultrafin

Yesterday while mixing ID-11 developer the mixing beaker slid out of my hands and spilled 3/4 of the liter I had.I dilluted it 1:1 and used it to get so so results.After sitting around and moping for a hour I remembered that I have a 3/4 liter of 3 years expired tetenal yoni gave me so I decided to give it a go on a non important film and oh boy!The results are fabulous!I developed 10 films in it (including 5 from barcelona)and sent it to scanning and I will presumably post them in my portfolio in a week or so.

Sent 19 films to scandevelop.11 color 8 BW.

Just wanted to share.

what did i watch today

Today have been a day of laziness and indulging in doing nothing.
Watched Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Sacred Mountain.I dont take the right kind oif drugs to get it I guess.It is sick shit for the sake of being sick.And shitty.

Finished watching Dziga Vertov’s “Человек с киноаппаратом”.A great depiction of the “New” late twenties idealised Russia and its relentless pace while showing the human side and the work of the documentary maker in two layers(the cameraman is shot shooting his enviroment).I realy loved the way the camera is portrayed as an active partner in the making of the film.

Dziga Vertov claimed that the only cinema to be made in the Soviet Union is documentary and his documentary has artistic sides and not dry documentation as if to compensate.

Finished watching Chinese Box.Great movie.It’s hard to believe the same diector that made it and Smoke also made Maid In Manhattan.

Fuck

Been to some arrangments.I got the notion nothing can be done in Israel without someone trying to fuck you over,like a clerk asking for a comission for himslef and a release from responsibility form without his employers concent.
I hate it,I really do.

Watched Saw yesterday,it’s OK but not great.
