Check out this film: 

Elliott Erwitt's Great Scottish Adventure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4djabjkQzkE#)

Elliott Erwitt seems to be a truly nice fella as well as a superb photographer.  And what a gig.....!!  :o

Bagpipes, rain and midges.  I particularly like the transition from the whisky spilling out of the bunghole to the developing tray.  Is there perhaps a whisky-based equivalent to caffenol?

There is no equivalent to whiskey (in Gaelic, "uisge beatha" pronounced wisga beh")  :o

I'd just settle for an opportunity to shadow Elliott Erwitt for a few days and be able to sample on the the whiskeys that is used as a benchmark for all others.

What a lovely film. I shall have to buy a bottle of Macallan for a little Christmas present for myself. Can only aspire to emulate Erwitt in my own meagre fashion otherwise.

The coffee we use to develop film is not suitable for ingestion, really. But abusing whiskey to develop film would be a crime against humanity. I guess Mr. Erwitt would agree with a smile.

Slainte mhath

Wonderful man, wonderful camera, wonderful photography, wonderful scotch! By coincidence, I had just purchased 2 bottles of 18 year old MaCallan two days ago!

Thanks for sharing.
