Nice picture, Julian. Did you cut the film to size yourself or did you buy it in a prepared cassette?

I really like this picture, Julian. I went back to it several times today to try to find an explanation for its appeal, but I can't rationalize it. Perhaps it restores a sense of calm, vacation, rest and anticipation, all framed in a geometric grid that expresses dynamism, like a running train with its theory of carriages that is traveling toward you. I can hear the rhythmic sound of the wheels on the tracks.

That's a good description, Gianluca.

I cut my own, doing it for the last 25 yrs. Not necessarily because it\s cheaper this way (although it is), but because I have access to more emulsion types.
