First of all, forgive me for my bad english...

Motivation: I live with my camera. And I'm doing this 'cause I don't want to miss every little moment that happen around me.
Life is always around us: you just need a camera and your eyes.

I was coming back home when I accidentally found myself in the middle of a sit-in for the elimination of domestic violence against women.
I started shooting the only roll I had in my camera when, in the middle of this screaming female crowd, I saw a little girl near his mother.
She was quite scared 'cause her mother was screaming into a megaphone; at a moment her mother lowered herself to the ground to calm her daughter and spoke something to her.
She heard her voice and she calmed down. Then she found me in this crowd around with a camera in my hands .. and I took this picture.


Where: Rome, Italy
When: 25th November 2006
Camera: Leica M6
Lens: Voigtlander Ultron 35mm/f1.7
Film: Kodak TX 400 @ 400
My favourite film; and I can even push it at 3200 iso.
Exposure data: not sure. Should be 1/250 @ f4
I chose this to have a correct exposure
Developer: Agfa Rodinal 1:50 x 12,5 minutes
My favourite developer
Scanner: (shitty) PrimeFilm 1800i

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-02-04

don't be scared by *mojofleur I remember this from the contest as it made it to the "final-fifteen-or-so" ... and thought it should have some more exposure! Not literally, of course, but in general. ;) Bravo, mate, bravo! (Featured by `cweeks)

I wrote a story about women abuse... it's in my gallery somewhere under the name of Rose.

This is very nice. And the girl is going to learn how to fight for her rights once she's older. She just gotta remember what her mother has done with this megaphone, the crowd she gathered to speak her mind.

do you use 1:50?

1:25 sucks... I never use this diluition.

I even tried Rodinal in 1:100 diluition. It's not so bad but it's quite difficult to print.

1:50 is the best, IMO.

I don't know why your negs look crappy. I use distilled water, 20°C. Then I use no stop bath (just water) and Agefix 1:7 for 7 minutes. Then wash "ilford-style" and then the last bath of distilled water with some drops of Agepon.

That's all.

Grazie Daria! Ehm, posso approfittarne? Ha un senso quello che ho scritto in inglese nella descrizione? Non vorrei che i giudici del concorso si facessero troppe risate, sai...
