Gremlin in the darkroom!

[sly]

So was doing a test strip, and this scary gremlin showed up. Why can't I get Jesus in the fix? I must be a very bad girl!

Just the other day, in the chatroom, we were telling Tareqphoto about darkroom gremlins.... now we have proof!!

That's funny. I had a similar experience couple of months ago. I was testing for safelight fogging, and after processing the
strip, I saw somebody in glasses looking at me from the strip. Huh? It took me a while to figure out what was going on. I pre-flashed
the paper with enlarger with what I thought was a blank strip of film in it. Apparently, the film was not completely blank - there
was an extremely underexposed photo of me on it. At least it was not Jesus ;-)

How do we know that it ISN"T Jesus? Anyone who says s/he knows what Jesus looked like is ....

There was/is a journal called, I believe, Image. It must have been around ten years ago that they published an article that described and showed examples of the various conceptions (I don't think even one was "immaculate") of the appearance of Himself. I wish I could find it and scan some of the images. There is a painter somewhere in the US (maybe Missouri or one of the nearby states) who has updated Jesus. He looked very innocent and sort of out of place in a greenish suit. I think he was clean shaven. This was to be taken seriously. It is not an iconoclastic publication, if my perception/recollection is correct.

It is funny how these things gain authority over the years. Lots of people think they know what he looked like. Weird, if you ask me.

Ha ha, gremlin. You can have my Ogre, and I will take your gremlin. Looking at a few of your prints I have on my wall, something tells me you will figure it out.

Looks like Casper the Ghost in a Spartan outfit. Scary! Guess I need to watch in my darkroom - might be an answer to problems I have.
