1960
December - India. Aundh, Maharashtra state. A
potter with dozens of small black earthen pots preprared for a festival. He is
sitting on a floor covered with dried cow dung at the side of the market street.
Camera Leica lll F with a collapsible Leitz f 5 cm 1:3.5 lens. Film Kodak Tri
X Pan at F5.6 - 1/100 second. The camera was on loan and my film was cut from
bulk rolls and loaded in a re-loadable leica cassette. It was a convenient low
cost way of carrying film but not ideal. The film had to be loaded in the dark
and static electricity always attracted dust which shows on the negative. Developed
by hand in Aundh using May and Baker Promicrol at normal dilution with water from
the village well. Negative
