Film posters at Tokyo streets.

Photographs taken between Tokyo, Kyoto and other japanese cities and towns. Japan is known as a country where modernity and traditional culture lives together. This statement is reflected through its two most representative cities: Tokyo and Kyoto. Tokyo city as cosmopolitan and futuristic and Kyoto city as the cradle of wisdom and history. Between them, other cites and other villages making this vision stronger.

Fotografies preses entre Tokyo, Kyoto i altrés ciutats i pobles japoneosos. Moltes vegades es parla del Japó com a un país on conviuen la modernitat mes puntera i la cultura mes tradicional. Aquesta afirmació queda reflexada a través de les seves dues ciutats mes representatives: Tokyo i Kyoto. Tokyo com a urbs cosmopolita i futurista i Kyoto com a bressol de saviesa i historia.

spectra / image film anatomy

What is a Spectra / Image / 600 /TZ film sheet made if ?
I flipped one open

There are two film sheets:
The positive is transparent and not light sensitive.
On the outside it is anti reflex coated.
On the inside there is an acid polymer layer to stop development, a timing layer to release the acid when it is time to stop development, an image receiving layer where the dyes from the negative travel to.

The negative is made of many layers.
When activated by the alkaline developer paste dyes emerge from the less/not exposed areas.

The developer is spread evenly between both films after exposure.
It shields the negative from light.
It starts the development process.
It lets the dyes from the negative diffuse to the receiving layer on the positive film.
It acts as a white background for the image.

There is a white mask in front of the films and a paper on the back of the developer pod.

There are two rails on either side and a sponge like strip at the upper end that collects excess developer paste.
