Home Film Development

I was recently successful developing my own b/w negatives at home using the Ilford Simplicity Starter Pack. I developed two rolls of Kodak T-Max 400. Previously I would have had to drive 60 miles to Portland to have them done. It feels good to have done it myself. I really enjoy the process and the anxiety that comes with it, to figure out the chemistry and timing, and finally to pull the negatives from the reels and hold them to the light to see the images for the first time. It’s all very satisfying.
