and you thought c-41 was easy part 1

I have given this overdated kodak gold 200 to a new small town minilab – seems easy,right? Well it isn’t. They didnt wash the film right and scratched it.

The objects are decaying roses under a home tungsten light(helios 44-2 58/2 – extension tubes), an old billiards ball,my Rega Planar playing a record,Anna’s hair pins and false vampire teeth drowned in red wax in an old pipe tobacco box(pentacon auto 50/1.8 on extension tubes).Pentax k1000.

Colorscontrast etc. enchnced barbaricly with Microsoft Office Picture Manager(didn’t fix my computer yet)
Scanned on some kind of nikon film scanner by a friend from work(thanks,Avi!).

They did unto the film what Michael Jackson did to kids.

“What God did unto Pederasts”(Black Adder).

I dont blame them for the colors – the light was artificial and the film outdated but the grime and scratches are their evil doing.
