After learning that my partner and I were heading to Sparta, Wisconsin, a friend of mine suggested we visit the FAST Fiberglass Mold Graveyard just outside of town. It looked like a great place to take photos so I brought the Spotmatic and the Moskva V.

It was very cloudy and a little rainy during our visit, so the resulting images are a little flat. And that’s not helped much by the nature of these molds. They’re mostly kind of a middle gray with rounded features. Next time I’m in Sparta I’d like to visit this place on a sunny day and see how those photos turn out.

Unless otherwise indicated these were shot using a Pentax Spotmatic ii. Everything was developed in Rodinal, 1+50 for the FP4 and 1+100 for the HP5. Scanned with an Epson 750. Adjusted in Affinity Photo 2.
