closed.eyes.

I spent some time in my much neglected darkroom today developing film that has been sitting around since mid-december. As I was rolling the film onto the reel (like this one) I realized that I always shut my eyes. This is particularly perplexing, because I'm doing all this in a pitch dark room. Even if I were to keep my eyes opened, I wouldn't be able to see myself rolling the film. I guess that it does rely heavily on your sense of touch- needing to curl the film just so while feeding it onto the reel- but I'm interested in where I picked up this habit. I guess I'll never know, unless I go in for some hypnosis sessions.
