Christmas Season/Unseasonably Warm Weather

We made a trip to get our Christmas tree - a Noble Fir! - and to visit our good friends Hans (Hank) and Lori Brinker proprietors of the Hans Brinker Christmas Tree Lot for whom we have had the pleasure of selling, sawing and hauling trees ourselves.  My second time developing film at home and once again, they are very much over developed, but not half bad.

So far very disappointed in the color on the new Impossible Project instant film.  The new PX70 film supposedly delivers "never-before-seen color saturation."  Maybe the chilly air had something to do with it.  They do recommend shooting in temperatures between 55-82 F.  I have had a lot of disappointments with The Impossible Project but I will keep trying them.

Finally took a decent portrait of my wife.  You'd think it would be easy.  This is also the first roll of film  I've developed myself in three years and the first ever I have done in my own home.  Well, I definitely over developed the film a bit much.  I think the chemistry was at a pretty high temperature and I wasn't keeping great track of time. Never the less, she looks beautiful.
