there are several rolls of film in the refrigerator... I had brought them back from Miami in March... this was when I went there with heavy analogue photo equipment....
I just remembered that because I came across one of the older Pelican pictures (I know, I know) that were actually shot with that 1950's equipment...
Hmm... Not only was I able to stand further away from the bird... the lens was a more serious one... and the weather was better...
Hmm... I have the feeling that the film in the refrigerator has continued a chemical process that will lead to some very unexpected results...
Hmm... will try to at least have it developed this year, I guess...
oh i LOVE this shot! it's like some old guy, laughing really hard at some dirty joke :)

Posted by: Sian on December 15, 2003 06:01 AMThe colours and textures in this photo are perfect, Witold. This shot has an old stereoscopic quality to it...I can almost imagine myself looking through a Viewmaster and finding this strange bird! Next, please!!
PS. It looks even better on an Apple Cinema Display ;-)
Posted by: lil on December 15, 2003 06:26 PMSian, what happens with film is a chemical process... the exposure is just a starting point... leaving a film without refrigeration after exposure is leaving it to think about its just collected memories... in a tiny, rolled up form.... hmmm i do not think that refrigeration will have slowed downed things in my case... not only have the films spent months in the refrigerator.. they also survived the blackout... I am pretty certain that what will come out of these rolls will be some pretty unpredictable results...
hmm... too late...
Lil!, your comment makes me blush... especially because I know that you are a real expert of the matter...
I feel really honored by all of the comments here... it is so amazing to receive such a positive response...
thank you so much!... thank you!, thank you!
Posted by: Witold Riedel on December 16, 2003 02:02 AMWonderful. Again. You have really increased my appreciation of, if nothing else, at least those wonderfully characteristic birds. I agree about the look of this photo - it reminds me of a viewmaster shot also. A photo that has had me staring at it for quite some time. Thankyou.
