Ah, not this trip. Paula and I did have an exhibition in Sydney at Gordon Undy's gallery. I think it was in 2007. We keep meaning to get back, but life intervenes. We'll let you know when we do...
13x15 is almost 1/3 larger than 11x14 and is the same price as you get 6 boards out of a 32 x 40 sheet. We, at lodima.org, have it is stock always as we use it ourselves. Prints mounted on 13x15 seem...
Paula and I take every care and guarantee our prints for 1000 years. There is a catch, however. The guarantee is non-transferable.

Sorry about that, Drew. I am not sure why you are so hateful. If that happened it was an error and you should have let us know ASAP. We would have sent you the Grade 3 and paid for return shipping of...
Thanks to a number of you who have supported me in this discussion. If I can find the time, I will try to get here more often.

I word of explanation to those who have taken offense at my remark in the f11 article that, “only one print in the exhibition would have made it out of our darkroom.”
It just hit me: I believe...
I read this thread again and am compelled to defend myself and add one thing. Personal attacks have no business in a thread like this, but when I am attacked I must respond. In addition to...
I rarely get here these days, but a good friend alerted me to this thread. Let me set the record straight.
Paula and I saw an exhibit in Carmel California by about eight or ten former Ansel Adams....
I am surprised that anyone is using PMK who is making contact prints. Even Gordon Hutchings himself, I was told, does not use it for negatives that will be contact printed. The yellow stain from PMK,...
Cemil is doing testing now with Lodima paper. He has been in touch with us and the results are looking promising.
We are having a more contrasty Lodima paper made. If interested, let us know.

Last May, a good friend loaned us a copy of the AMMO book, 125 photographs by Edward Weston. He referenced this thread and asked our opinion of the reproductions. We finally had the time to carefully...

What Paula and I teach is an approach to making photographs. As part of that, we describe and demonstrate those things that are a part of any successful photograph, regardless of subject matter or...

Paula and I would be happy to teach a workshop on the West Coast. We expect to be there in January. All we need is a place to hold it and enough people to make it worthwhile. Eight is ideal. We could...
From Dennis D: "Don't most photographers first observe "a big picture" ready for gg interpretation. It's only after that " big picture" is on the gg and I have a chance to work with my subject...
Photographic seeing: What Paula and I teach in our very occasional weekend workshops (sometimes just one or two a year) is an understanding of those visual things that going into the making of any...
We do it. We have several Dai-Nippon Screen drum scanners--up to 12,000 dpi--and we have an assistant who drum scans our own 8x10 and 8x20 negatives--black and white and color.

In a few weeks I do expect to have Amidol to sell--the same Amidol the Formulary sells, at a much lower price.

LODIMA silver chloride paper
The new run of LODIMA paper has been made. Based on the curves, the Dmax of both the grade 2 and the grade 3 will be identical and it is a higher Dmax than the Dmax...
That quote is from a very long time ago.
When we did the first run of this paper we found that it was less expensive for those in the EU to have the paper shipped from the USA rather than from the...

Merg (and others),
The G. Gennert Amidol was comes from England and was put into the bottles in 1906. I found it in 1975 and bought 50 pounds of it—for $6/pound! Unfortunately, I could not afford...
This is one of the rare threads I have read in a long time.
I must admit that I do not understand the need for testing--as long as one understands exposure/development relationships. And I would...
Best are folders for 4x5 paper. Not envelopes. Just folders made from archival paper. You can write all information on them and there are no seams to ever cause a problem. Also, no static electricity...
