Unfortunately, I should have experimented with film of subjects that wouldn\u2019t have been so interesting to me 30 years after the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This roll of 120 film has been largely unseen since the 1980s. My ineffective trial yielded uneven processing and negatives that were difficult to print with poor tonality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I think the subject matter is fascinating despite the inept process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The irony was that I was adapting a formula recommended to me by former New York Central photographer Ed Nowak. The lesson here is don\u2019t allow a New York Central photographer advise you on how to process photos of the Erie Railroad!
