Buffalo Skull - on Fuji Instant

Scanned from a test shot made today on Fuji FP 100B instant packfilm. I cropped just a wee bit on the right to even out the spacing. Otherwise, the scan is pretty close to the actual print.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. Authentic North American Buffalo skull. Technically and politically correct, its a bison skull, but me being a rank traditionalist, I still call them buffalo.

I have run my hand along the forehead of a live buffalo. You have to be careful, because their speed will take anybody by surprise. Their fur is soft, incredibly soft. This reminds me of that. Good memory.
I find your still lifes to be very nice. Wonderful execution.

Alex,
Good work.
I too still use, and prefer ASA. Don't know how, and why the term changed. Means the same thing. ???
Thanks for your always interesting an great LF work.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Should have a full-size print from the negatives in a couple weeks. I hope it does as well as this proof shot did.
