Columns at the Parc Guell, Barcelona.

Thanks Gregor. I'm trying to get more Ilford Delta 3200 now because this set and the last couple of rolls have worked well for me. It could be pushed to 6400 or 12800 ASA but I haven't tried. Also, when you hang it up it dries nice and flat. I went back to Tri-X in a wave of nostalgia for a while, however it wouldn't dry flat but slightly bowed, so the scans were not sharp across the whole image.
Lovely, crunchy grain. Erm, developed in what…?
Here's the techy stuff, Peter ... the developer is Tetenal Ultrafin, diluted 1+10, the time was 18 minutes at 21° C. The first minute is continuous inversions, then five inversions for every minute after that. The scanner is an Epson V700.

Did you say a 40W bulb?? Crikey
Actually there was some light spill from the beer fridge behind the bar as well.

But many of our friends do try to make a living out of it. And several have had their images taken and re-used by profit-making media outlets without even a credit
A good first step is to always protect your work by putting your copyright and contact details in the metadata of the image. I don't post any image anywhere without this information in place. When I started my blog in 2009 I bought an application called Metamachine to do the job, but also found it could be done to some extent with Adobe Bridge and other free applications such as Reveal. This metadata information is locked into place by Metamachine and survives the upload/download process of images to and from Blogger, Tumblr, Twitter and Public Address for example. However, I found it was removed by Flickr.
The New Zealand AIPA site (Advertising & Illustrative Photographers Association) has some useful resources, including guidelines for licensing and copyright prepared by the law firm Clendons in 2006. After reading up on the meaning of terms such as 'one use only' and 'exclusive' and 'non-exclusive' licences, look under contracts and forms and download the editable Licence and Order confirmation PDF form that all New Zealand photographers can use, not just members of the AIPA. Fill this out and present it to your client, even if they are only giving you a credit, and hopefully there will be no argument.

Perhaps it’s a phase: a few of my friends had their Goth years before moving on to other things, such as being fine reggae DJs
Indeed ... Dubhead pictured above, with Silent Decree, at Mainstreet in 1983. As I noted on my blog post: "There was only a pair of spotlights remaining above the stage. That didn't bother Silent Decree - they brought their own candles."

This fits the niceness bill ... Chris Knox at Real Groovy last Saturday evening, performing 'Swimming Pool' with Rackets ... a fitting end to Record Store Day. There's some video by Simon Kay over at Cheese On Toast.

Hard News: One man’s Meat Puppets is…, in reply to Biobbs,
Hate every bar of its simpering, reactionary, fake superficial kumbya-tolerance
I feel your Farnham pain. Although I refuse to poke around You Tube looking for it, the name alone is enough to make me break out in a cold sweat: Mike & The Mechanics. “The Living Years”

I worked in printing / litho shops for many years. The ever-blaring commercial radio was as much of a health hazard as the chemicals, solvents and badly-ventilated darkrooms. I have retained a loathing for classic rock that rocks, no repeat workdays, and the hits of the 70s 80s and 90s. It's enough to send you postal.

Jenkin, without an s if I recall correctly.
"Good evening, Citizens ..." Here's Barry, photographed just ten days ago, he was at the Kings Arms to welcome John Cooper Clarke onstage.

Cafe con leche and a few Catalan pastries ... was it really ten years ago? Girona 2002.
