Topic: Easter Weekend 2025

The old cathedral in Stavanger has been under restoration for the last five years and has recently been opened to the public although work is still ongoing. The first shot is towards the entrance with the Baroque organ, this part of the building is in the Roman style. The second shot shows the Gothic style choir with the altar in front of the stained glass windows.

Nice! I especially like the washed out look of the first one. To keep with the cathedral theme, here's one from 2016, looking out from one of the towers of Sagrada Familia. Canonet/Ektachrome HC100 @50/C41

Not been filmwasting for ages, it seems, so the Wednesday before Easter weekend I loaded a five year out of date roll of Ilford SFX into my old Pentax Spotmatic F and went down to the Bluebell Railway which is usually a source of filmwasting especially with a camera I've not used for a while.

Developed on the Saturday morning in R09 for an hour and that seems to have all worked out well.

Now i'm kind of retired (thanks old boss for setting up company pension!) I'm hoping to do more filmwasting this year!

I don't have any photos of my own this weekend but my father just brought this to me today.  It was found with our old family photos, but nobody knows who these people are.  It's a tin type that measures 12.8cm X 8.6cm.

They look dead.

If they weren't then they are now.  Those blank stares are kind of creepy.  My wife did find a death photo going through her family photos.  Not sure why that was ever a thing.

Yeah, in this case they had the hold-down clamps to prevent them from moving. This probably was a winter portrait that required really long exposures in a glass studio.

But the funeral portraits were really weird. I can't imagine posing next to a dead relative who has fake eyes drawn on their eyelids... it would just creep me out.
For some odd reason, these remind me of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's", minus the funny part.
