Waiting for a roll to dry

Is like watching paint dry. you can't touch it just yet but it looks so pretty.

My first film developing was Ektachrome.  I didn't have an enlarger or any real place for a dark room set up, so I'd load it in a daylight tank, crouched in a dark closet, and soup it at the kitchen sink.  Then I'd only have to cut it and mount it in Pakon mounts to be done.

Ektachrome always looked greenish to me when it first came out of the tank.  Then it'd brighten up as it dried.  I likened it to tomatoes - dull green at first then ripens to a nice bright color.

I have to add to this. It seems waiting for them to dry is not the only thing that is anti-exciting. Waiting for the scanner to scan them all is in the same league but then there is the fun part. Adjusting them and then posting my results.

 Green tomatoes sliced, rolled in egg and flower then fried a golden brown, now there is a southern side dish to die for.

 From this day on every time I hear Ektachrome I will get hungry.
