Perseverance is in Agent C’s blood (and maybe one day she’ll learn to spell it without spell check too!). When Agent C was a wee little Agent C, her mom was a huge believer in positive reinforcement. Whenever Agent C encountered a problem, Agent C’s mom would say, “I know you can do it. It’ll come easy for you. I trust you can do it . . .” This drove Agent C crazy because it didn’t always come easy to her, but how could she let her mom down? Enter perseverance.

Agent C’s latest hurdle is learning the drums. Agents C and J drum sat for a friend about 7 years ago, bought a set on Craigslist a couple years ago, and Agent C is still in the early learning stages. The lack of general tuning is great. The required coordination of limbs is not so great. Agent C is at about the point where she can cover this (hence the Low-esque photos for today’s mission).

Forgotten since 1970

Back in 2008, I bought a Crown Graphic that was advertised on craigslist . It had been in a closet, in its case, since about 1970. Included was a bunch of old film, flash, and two lenses. When I got it home, I loaded up a sheet of Plus X from old packaging labeled with an expiration date of May 1972. I took this exposure, hand held, of my girlfriend, now wife, behind our house. At the time, I didn’t have a darkroom setup, so I did my loading and unloading in the closet, and processing in the laundry sink. This is the result… a bit under exposed, or over developed, but a very usable image from another era. The lens was a Graflex Optar 135mm f/4.7. Taken July 25, 2008. More pictures of the camera and what it included are here: images.jaimekop.com/2008_09_19_Crown_Graphics/

I’ve uploaded the original scan, complete with dust, so you can enjoy the detail in the negative.
