Some of you may recall that my image began to deteriorate. A little research revealed that this is common with the IP B&W film and is likely caused by moisture trapped in the emulsion layer. IP sells a "Dry Age Kit" which they say to store the images inside for the 1st month after shooting. (But you can remove and look at the picture from time-to-time.) The kit is basically a sealed pouch with a desiccant. My local camera shops don't stock the Dry Age Kits. Some people have used rice as a drier. That's what I decided to do.
Here are 3 scans. See the differences?
November 24 (Scanned about an hour after taking the picture.)
November 29 (Scanned after I realized the picture was undergoing metamorphosis.)
December 7 (Stored on rice in sealed tupperware bowl since Nov 29.)
