There's an old TV programme called Dad's Army that you might be familiar with and in it there's a jovial Scotsman called Frazer who's catchphrase was 'We're doomed, doomed I tell you' - spoken in a strong Scottish accent along with mad, staring eyes. He was, of course, anything but jovial (he's an undertaker) but a great character. Nothing whatsoever to do with this print, by the way, just I was reminded of his catchphrase by the subject matter:

Old Dutch loom, Orvelte Museum Village, The Netherlands. Ilford Warmtone paper, sepia tone |
I didn't have high hopes for this when I first saw the print emerge in the darkroom but after sepia toning and drying it I was pleasantly surprised. There was a lovely soft light coming in from a window on the left and HP5 seems to have captured it pretty well. On the M6/35mm lens.
Doom can loom.
ReplyDeleteIndeed so, Jim! And the looms are probably doomed, too :)
