Digital BW, The Print

Jack, I was the original poster -- two quick replies.   First, I processed 
the film myself -- I didn't send it out to a lab.   Second, I prefer the way the 
film develops a bit unevenly at short times (and yes, four minutes for 
Rodinal is very short) -- what you consider a flaw, I consider a virtue.   In fact, 
everything about how I shot that image is "flawed," right down to using a 1910 
Kodak Model 3A with 120 roll film in place of the original 122 film (giving a 
6x14 negative) and hand-holding a stack of Hasselblad neutral-density filters 
in front of the lens during the exposure.   It's not a perfect negative -- it 
wasn't meant to be.
