You can't see anything. And, it's amazing how much your other senses will kick in when you lose one. Because, you're losing your sight. And, if you hear the sound. That's the sound I want to hear. I don't want to hear like a crinkling sound or a crushing sound. That's a bad sound. And, if I hear that sound very gently I undo it and I begin to roll up again. As long as I'm hearing that like chukka-chukka sound, I know that I'm good and that I'm in the right place. And, I want my film to come out to the end. I don't want to feel any valleys or mountains or anything. I want it to come out to the very end like that. And, once it's out I take my can I put it in. I get my lid and I put it in. And, I'm ready to go develop."
