Delta
At the beginning of December I was in London for the weekend, on the Sunday I put most of a roll of Ilford Delta ISO3200 through my Canon AE-1.
I went to get the film processed as soon as I got back, but the labs I went to told me that they would have to be sent away & because of Christmas there would be a long wait. So I waited till post Christmas & took it into the Lincoln branch of Jessops. I thought taking it in after would minimise the delay & reduce the chance of them losing the film (Paranoid).
I kinda wish I hadn’t taken it to Jessops – it took them over 3 weeks to process it, they didn’t have a clue where my film was at any point and the staff were unhelpful when I was trying to get them to chase it for me.
I think it’s safe to say the development process of Delta 3200 has put me off shooting it for a while, back to the Fuji Xtra 400. I think I am so used to the speed and convenience of digital that if I can’t get a film developed & onto my computer within a day I can’t stand it! I think I am mumbling now, just check out the photos, let me know what you think:

Hey Rick, it’s been good following you on flickr the past month. But I’m glad you’re posting up some new stuff here on the blog. The third one is probably my favorite. I really love photos that are centered like this. Always reminds me of Wes Anderson films. Great work all around man.
Rick
Thanks everyone!
Inigo, I’ll facebook ya!
Kye, thanks. Same goes for you. I’ve never seen a Wes Anderson film, worth checking out?

I was with you when you took the film in and on the numerous occasions you went in to find out where it was and to pick it up, and it was infuriating even for me.
Anyway it was worth it in the end.
I really can’t pick a fave, I love the last one, and the Jack Daniels one, and the first one, and the coffee one… Gah. I lose. But good work Rickface.
