Do I HAVE to underexpose if I want to overdevelop and keep the subject's face detail?

from shawn gibson (shawngibson_prophoto@yahoo.com)
I just purposely exposed Delta 400 (120) at my normal ISO, and then developed the shit out of it (13 minutes in pyro at 80deg.). I have a practically 2-tone negative from the mids up. It's gross! I was going for grain, and I figured Delta could handle the extra time, but my model's face looks like Tech Pan at 15 stops over exposure. I wanted to try it with Delta because I love it normally...maybe should'a used old tech.

Any similar experiences and (hopefully) fixes for the next time...?

crap
