Kein Ausgang

Kein Ausgang

The green luminous paint turned into a pale yellow color when I painted the scenes with my flashlight - of course as soon as I moved the light away, it glowed with a bight green color.

Somehow seeing those suitcases and sleeping arrangements reminds me of the camps. Sad.
That is just tooooooo creepy .....the thought of glowing walls.
claustrophobia

Does that mean 'No Exit'? My German's rustier than 1920's soap dispenser :p
Yes, it means: No Exit.
Kein Ausgang...yeah, that's what they told all the Jew's at the gates of Auschwitz! No offense to all the Jewish people out there.
I am a WWII buff and this is the first time I've learned of this neat, but toxic paint! Very fascinating!
I would have to assume that radium is involved in the paint.
There is a small town in Indiana where the Wesclock (sp?) company poisoned employees who hand painted numbers and hands on alarm clocks with a similar product. The painters (Almost exclusively female) were advised to keep a sharp point on their brushes by sticking them in their mouths! One of the ladies even took some home around Halloween and painted herself up for fun! Of course, the cancer rates went through the roof. It's a good thing you shoot digital Motts, the stuff probably was leaching low levels of radioactivity. Possibly sufficient to expose film?
