Infrared

In the quest for dreamier photographs I'm going to pick up some Kodak HIE tomorrow. I've read through most of the fact sheets; what filters are useful; keep the stuff in the dark etc. I haven't been able to find dev. times for HIE and Ilfotex dd-x. I hate using two developers (contamination, confusion etc.). So I think I'm just going to do take a wild stab at the first roll with dd-x and see what happens. Probably just do it as I would tri-x. What the hell. I did a search for the recipe on Ilford and Kodaks' sites but you know how it goes.

One of the handiest developer / film databases I've ever found is at DigitalTruth.com

I was sort of wondering what happens if you put some portable heat source into something - like the telephone I've been using and do it in infrared. I'm sure there's some glove warmer, or liquid heat pack, that you could do this with.

Anyway - the holidays are fini - so the quest to spend money in the Chelsea or Western Midtown? What is that area around B&H called. Did it used to be Hell's Kitchen? It does seem sort of hellish.

I'm curious to see what I can do with it in this urban jungle. I've got plenty of info as far as getting started.

I took a look at the infrared stuff on your site - good stuff.
