Among the complex of buildings nearby the South Coast Repertory Theater in Costa Mesa I discovered the reflection you see here. The distortion in the glass immediately brought to mind a photo of the Chrysler Building in New York City that Chris Dodkin posted on the Real Photographers Forum a few weeks ago.
I took the image above using the wonderful Mamiya C330 twin lens reflex that my friend Robert McAlmon owns. The camera was equipped with an 80mm f2.8 Mamiya-Sekor lens, and the picture was taken using Kodak Tri-X 400.
I developed the film in Rodinal using a 1:25 dilution and a 7 minute processing time.
