I get mine pre-mixed from Bostick and Sullivan and keep it in the bottles they send it in at room temperature. It's perfectly fine for at least a year.

You're right about one thing. The film isn't "somewhat fogged". It's unbelievably fogged. The base density is something like .5. Michael and Paula now make thinner negatives and just print through...

Will you be in Easley around the time school starts? I may be down your way then. I'd love to see some of these prints.

Too bad Paletti wasn't with you. He would have shot back.

I predict that Ilford will be the last manufacturer of 8x10 B&W film. I've already made the switch. It's nice not to have to worry about what Kodak will discontinue next.
This website will tell you everything you need to know to make many different Pyrocat variations. I buy the ready made version from Bostick & Sullivan, as I find it difficult to get all the...
I'd just tell them that you'll accept payment only via Paypal, and that they should expect a 6 week delivery time. And you'll ship through a shipper of your choice. You'll never hear from them...

Such fine work is never outdated.
:rolleyes:That's what you think:rolleyes:
Haven't seen any around here for the past 2 releases. Paletti's holding some for me, but unfortunately he can't take it on an airplane. That's why I didn't bring any last year. I only brought T.H....
I'll just show up with my Canon in one hand and a bottle of Dumante in the other. That should improve the odds considerably.
If Sherman will let me through the door with a digital camera (I'd say the odds are about 50-50) I'll take plenty of pics with it. I'll try to get a shot of everyone's print as they're hung at the...
Christoph: absolutely gorgeous portrait

A few from the vaults. Not exactly a church, but all made inside a church. Does that count?
Me too, but I'm changing my standard mat size to 16x20
What developer are you using? The tanning action of pyrogallol based developers, such as ABC obviates the need for desensitizers. Weston didn't use them and he developed all his negatives by...
Yeah, I'll still be able to buy 120 film without having to order it online. That in itself is a lot of comfort. Nothing small about it. Dare I to even hope that they might start stocking sheet...
I've always disagreed with that statement. A fuzzy photo of a fuzzy concept is much worse.
I've got some of the Oriental paper in the silver packages, the original stuff that Ansel Adams and Brett Weston used. I last printed on it about 8 years ago, and it was probably 15 years out of...
I used to go to the DC store to buy 8x10 sheet film all the time. But I can't remember the last time I was able to buy it in a store over the counter. Must be 15 years at least.
I have to...
Yes, but how do you measure it? How do you define 'literacy'? My daughter's an English major at Clemson where she's just come home from her first semester with a 4.0 average. Last year she turned...
I'm not sure I agree with that statement. BTW, what do you mean by 'statistically'? Are there statistical metrics for literacy?

I'm no big fan of Ansel Adams, but I have to say that Bull Creek Flat is one of the most beautiful photographs ever made. The printing of it is unparelleled. Not even Weston ever produced a more...
The amidol that Michael Smith uses was bottled in 1903, so I hardly think that freshness is much of a consideration here.
The staining that I get with Chinese amidol is yellow and goes away...

Take a measuring cup and put 2 cups of pentahydrate rice crystals into enough water to make 1/2 gallon at 90°F. Mix well. That's what Michael Smith has been using for over 40 years. ...
The Chemistry store is cheaper, even in small quantities. ($2.50/lb. for 2 lb.) I don't know about the greasy feel, since I always have a glove on when I put my hands in it, but it's not...
What you want is sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate rice crystals. The best source I've found for this is the Chemistry Store. The 50 lb. bag is the best value. 16 oz. (two cups) dry measure of this...
To our members who are human...Amidol, like Pyrogallol, is a phenol and hence is absorbed through the skin. You don't have to drink it to ingest it. However, Paul Strand and Brett Weston both put...
In its case, with the strap slung over my shoulder. The camera's in my backpack. I'm getting old enough so that I can't go as far as I used to, but I'm still good for about 2 miles each way.
I doubt that they'd do it, Jay. As an aside, the closest thing I've seen to it in a published formula that I've tried is Crawley's FX-2. In fact, it's so close that I'm sure 777 must have glycin in...
I've used Harvey's almost exclusively since 2003. My current seasoned gallon is beginning to get quite long in the tooth (I've been using it for about 2 years now) and I'm thinking about mixing up a...
Rough estimate off the top of my head, extrapolating from current prices: figure ~$200/50 sheet box. 60 boxes or so. That should be a piece o' cake. I'm good for 4 or 5. Aren't there 14 more LF...
Yes, someone here would have done so. What's worse, they would also have told Karsh.
He took a lot of pictures of Sibelius. My favorite Karsh portrait is this one, because of the overall sense of light. It glows.
