Recipe for disaster:
1) Have film made in former Soviet chemical factory
2) Transport in an open truck to Chernobyl
3) Park truck and let stand for 10 years
4) Steal film from truck and sell on ebay
5) Make Filmwaster sad.  :'(

I disagree. I think it's beautiful :)

I second that. Cool as Pripyat ice!

Well, I have 8 more rolls of the stuff. I think I am going to try X-Tol and Caffenol and see if either of those will tame this beast.

But does it glow in the dark?

I'll check. That square at the top of the frame is from the old piece of tape holding the film to the backing paper. This shot is from the middle of the roll, so something is emitting some radiation in there!

Well, if you're after the light leak / radiation damaged look, you might as well go the whole 9 yards.  I'd be a bit miffed if I got that from a fresh batch of HP5 or Tri-X through.
