Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was developed using the self-prepared developer “Sakagawa-type high-dilution high-definition developer” that I used before using the PMK Pyro developer.

 For the “Sakagawa developer“, I have already obtained basic data by repeating the test of the development time, liquid temperature and agitation method many times, but again, in order to increase the amount of development accelerator and improve the shadow detail,  I started the test.

 This photograph is still in the middle of the development test.

 The negative in this photograph was too light toned, but I think the door shadow separation and the mortar tone are pretty good.

 This photograph was taken in the Higashi-Ginza area of Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 It looks like a private house, but its appearance is reminiscent of modern Japanese architecture.

 I guess it’s a building built before World War II.

 I would like such a building to remain for a long time.
