My wife and I traveled to Atlanta to see the Violent Femmes in early October. Spent the early part of the day at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I brought the venerable Pentax Super Program loaded with my last roll of long expired Kodak Tri-X Pan bulk load film. My hand written note said 'EXP 1996,' but I can't see how that is possible. I know where I got the film and I know when it got...it was likely expired in 1990 or earlier. In any case, I shot it at ISO 50 and used the stand development process (first time trying that) in HC 110 Dilution G (1+119) for 60 minutes. I mixed the developer with 8 ml of syrup to make 960 ml of solution. I poured off 100 ml and developed this roll and roll of color 126 film in a 4 real tank on stainless spirals (bottom and top spirals were empty). Agiitated for the first 30 seconds using slow inversions and then did two inversions at 30 minutes. Still got a little bromide drag from the sproket holes on the leader, but otherwise the negatives looked great (except where I goofed on the exposure). Very happy with these results, a suitable end to the last of my super old Tri-X.

On my second day in the Medina, I was wandering around the alleys and the souks, already shooting the last one of the three rolls that I had brought from home : Ektar 100.
