As the Islamic holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, Afghans are preparing to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr or the “Feast of Breaking the Fast,” which is marked by family reunions and gatherings of friends. Shown here, vendors in the capital, Kabul, show their goods as Afghan shoppers prepare for the occasion.

On a Friday night, there were queues outside both Tiamo and Tiamo 2. Having had a look at both menus, we decide on Tiamo 2 for the mussels and clams in their Spaghetti Don Giovanni.
What was served was a huge bowl of al dente pasta with a rich tomato sauce crowned with 4 mussels and 4 clams. There were more tiny clams in the pasta sauce. A good pasta dish, if a little underseasoned, and overly generous with the olive oi, resulting in glistening food that might be good to look at, but a bit too rich. I did like the sauce enough to mop some of it up with the 2 slices of buttered pane di casa bread. Avoiding the oil, of course 🙂
Seeing the new pizza kitchen, we decided to try one. With a good pork and fennel sausage and a thin, crisp crust, this was a nice pizza. Again, a bit on the oily side.
We finished with a vanilla pannacotta with a drizzle of stewed mix berries. Wobbling as it was presented, I couldn’t wait to dig into the smooth creamy jelly. A great end to the meal!
Then there are the countless gelati shops along Lygon Street to tackle…

This crowded buzzy trat has a warm patina from being owned by the same family for almost 40 years.

I’ve taken this shot maybe a dozen times. I absolutely love it. This photo isn’t exactly perfect – I’m not sure about the processing. I think I like this old stock in HC-110 stand. I’ve tried processing it as per the data sheet’s instructions – HC-110B for 4.5minutes, but I really didn’t care for that.
I don’t really like processing any b&w film for less than five minutes. Seven to ten is ideal. I follow the agitation rule of once per minute if it’s over five minutes long. More agitation than that makes it too contrasty for my liking. Additionally, the shorter the development time, the more room there is for error, especially at the end (for me, anyway).
This is covered in Anchell & Troop’s essential ‘Film Developing Cookbook’:
‘If the tank development time is less than six minutes a two tank system should always be used. The first tank should contain the developer, the second tank should contain the stop bath or water rinse. shortly before development is complete the light should be turned off and the lid removed from the tank. At the moment that development is complete the film should be pulled out of the tank, drained for ten seconds, then immediately immersed into the second tank. If a water rinse is used instead of an acid stop bath it should be a running water rinse for at least one minute or five complete changes. This method will ensure against streaking and uneven development. It can also be used with longer development times.’
.
Since I don’t have a darkroom, I can’t take the reels from the developing tank and put them into a stop tank. But because long development times usually require less concentrated developers, it isn’t as difficult to stop the developer with a fairly normal washing (I use water, not an acid stop).
