Seeing Through Flowers: Shooting Flora on 8x10" xray film.

In my free time, I like to use the darkroom at Mills College. I've been experimenting with X-ray film just because it's so cheap and there's plenty available. Recently it occurred to me that some areas I have access to aren't in use. So for a long weekend, I co-opted a little gallery space "Slide Space 123" to do some shooting. 

The natural light in Slide Space is nice. There are white walls, and plenty of room to navigate. At one point I had a 4x5 (an old Toyo my high school teacher Mr Bernucci gave me,) My Linhof 5x7 and my red bellows 8x10 that my grandfather gave me all setup swapping cameras for similar scenes.

So far I've only developed the 8x10 xray films. I had trays setup in a darkroom and would shoot a sheet and walk it over and develop it immediately afterwards.

We lucked out, very little traffic, minimal truck convoys, etc. We drove as fast as 120mph according to my GPS.     My friend I drove with had to take care of some business, so I walked around with my camera. I’d be remiss in not making snarky jokes about leaky skies and liquids coming and going where they don’t belong. Well I guess what I’m trying to say is it was pouring at times.     That was enough to get me to go into several churches for cover from the leaky skies.     Not too much to report here, just wanted to throw a few photos up and pretend I’m doing something productive.     *If Germans are g...
