I got back my first roll of 6x6 film shot on the old Ricohflex. It's a roll of Ilford FP4, and the results were as follows (by frame):

1. blank w/ partial ghost image (underexposed)

2. "

3. "

4. double exposure

5. double exposure

6. double exposure (but properly exposed!)

7. blank

8. blank

9. blank

10. nicely exposed shot of the neighbourhood

11. nicely exposed shot of the neighbourhood

12. nicely exposed shot of the neighbourhood

I shot a roll of colour film as well, but did so differently (using another camera's meter to judge the scene). Hopefully there will be some better results. Also, I'll have to sort out whether I'll wind the film immediately after every exposure, or before and then stick to it.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
