Photographers from the film days will recognize this as a contact sheet. It was the first print you made in your darkroom. It gave you a 35mm-sized proof of every photo you took on a roll. This particular contact sheet comes from the 1993 Daytona 200, where Eddie Lawson edge Scott Russell at the line. Miguel Duhamel was third. I was surprised to see I was still shooting black and white film this late. By then I had switched to shooting primarily color film and transparencies. The film on this contact sheet is the classic Kodak Tri-X.

A great day for Lawson fans, a greatly satisfying moment in AMA road racing …
I look forward to seeing some of those photos in the days to come.

Man what ever happenned to Tri-x. I used to shoot a ton of that stuff “back in the day”… Digital is spoiling us a bit too much I think.

Steve,
I think you can still buy Tri-X at photo shops. I used to buy 20 rolls at a time at K-Mart back in the day. It was cheap and I developed it myself with HC-110 (I didn’t like mixing the D-76 powder).
