HIE no more

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2009.06.23

I took my last* roll of HIE black and white infrared-sensitive film into Horiuchi this morning for development. It's a pro lab, the only one that I regularly use.

They turned down my film. They no longer develop it. I guess that's what I get for keeping it in the fridge for two years! 8( I'm left with National, another lab, but it's a fair haul out to Harajuku just for the purpose.

*Looks like this may well be my last roll period! I don't think that Kodak's actually stopped making the stuff but they've just announced the end of the line for Kodachrome, much to my amazement.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
