In time where dig­i­tal (numeriqué, merci!) IS pho­tog­ra­phy, John Sypal of the pop­u­lar blog Tokyo Camera Style still fid­dles with film and shares his devel­op­ment meth­ods:

The main thing that used to hold me back from get­ting a lot of film done in one day was that it took too long for the reels to dry. Residue from the pre­vi­ous round of pro­cess­ing was mess­ing up the edges of my neg­a­tives, and some­times intruded into the frames them­selves. However– I solved this by first dry­ing them with a clean towel, and then set them to dry under the stove fan atop a tower built of dark­room chem­istry trays.

With his method, he was able to process 22 rolls of black & white neg­a­tive in one day, ready for enlarge­ment and/or scan­ning. Impressive, now I’m feel­ing nostalgic.
