I just read that it will take at least another ten years before Tepco can even start removing the melted cores of Fukushima’s nuclear power plant. It will be several decades until the site can be levelled and milleniums before the radiation will be gone. With this dire information in my head, I started my final darkroom clean up today, where I stumbled across this romantic image. I used it as a christmas-card in 1990.
Hasn’t it got a certain nuclear quality about it?

 

After not having used my darkroom for the last two years, I have finally decided to get rid of it altogether. Checking the prices for used enlargers on Ebay tells me, that the stuff won’t even pay for a decent meal anymore.
Next to the processor is a shelf full of old prints, which also needs a bit of trimming down. Today I started looking at a couple of boxes, and amongst photos that make me blush, I’ve retrieved a few old pearls, that will pop up in this blog every now and then. This one was taken on a college trip to Cherbourg, France in 1990.
