I haven't shot a commercial project on film in the last 4 or 5 years. All of my clients want the flexibility of digital. I'd be happy to pull out the 4x5, though, if a client had the budget and...

I want to play too. In no particular order:

Robert Adams
Alfred Stieglitz
Walker Evans
Daido Moriyama
Ken Schles
Eugene Atget
Richard Avedon
Ray Metzger

Looks to me like a 50pin connector on the card and the 35SE itself has a 25pin connector, IIRC.

I've got a 35SE and a couple of cables laying about. I'd been planning to get rid of it all as a...

I've been using a Logan mat cutter with several Adapt-A-Rules for years. I've found I can cut 4ply mats with no issue with these tools and 8ply mats if I'm being careful. I've cut 8 ply mats up to...

Adorama does rentals of MDFBs. When I've rented from them (not MFDBs specifically) they've required a deposit in the form of a hold on a CC. I've never been asked for additional (proof of) insurance...

L&I Color on 22nd Street is the lab I use. I've had only good experiences with them. C-Lab down on Broadway is also a decent lab.

You can find out what's showing at the various galleries by...

I came into a bunch of enlarging lenses at one point. They're just sitting around now...

135mm f5.6 EL-Nikkor
135mm f4.5 Wollensak Enlarging Raptar
100mm f5.6 Vivitar VHE
50mm f4.5 Leitz...

As a follow-up to my earlier post and in response to Rayt's comment, I should have noted that I didn't purchase anything from the shop I gave the address to or its neighbors and only took the...

I was just in Hong Kong in February. While wandering about I came across a number of camera shops in an arcade with tons of 35mm, MF and LF stuff in them. Each seemed to have slightly different...

You might want to check out Darius Himes and Mary Virginia Swanson's book, Publish Your Photography Book. I haven't read it myself yet, but did go to their talk at the NYPL a while back and intend to...

I've been using Wordpress for my blog but Indexhibit for the main site. Indexhibit is straight forward and easy once you get a handle on it. There is plenty of space for customization of it as well....

Rob--were you asking me about how well my position pays?

I don't think I'm typical. I work for a large volume oriented company based in New York with numerous clients across the country. The...

2007 and 2008 were rough despite several decent jobs. The middle of last year I joined a jewelry company as a product photographer and then early this year they made me full time. It isn't glamorous,...

Darren,

If you're with the Mrs, consider Aysgarth Station. It is a quaint B&B with clean rooms and a good breakfast. The proprietors are both friendly and helpful. It is right in Bar Harbor and...

8ply looks great with any size print, even small prints. I think the issue is one of cost. If I could afford to mat everything under 8ply, I probably would.

If you have two prints in the same...

I just checked my copy of Alfred Steiglitz Photographs and Writings, mentioned by James, and it has nine of Steiglitz's Equivalents. The other three in James' twelve are different cloud pictures:...

Jenny,

I have a 125mm Fuji mounted in a Copal # 1 Press shutter marked as a Wista shutter. It behaves exactly as you describe--which is how I expected it to behave. Your shutter isn't broken--the...

Check out Magcloud. They do POD magazines, but turn a magazine 90 degrees and the saddle stitch binding could work for a calendar. No hole to hang it from, though. They're 20 cents per page, just a...

I do 12 sheets in my CombiPlan tank all the time. Works fine.

The only issue I have doing this is that after fixing I need to give each individual negative a dunk in developer to remove the...

You mean when I'm not just guessing, right?

Hey everyone,

A selection of photographs from my Journeys project are on view in Natural Construct, an exhibit at the Afa Gallery in Scranton, PA. The show runs from July 3rd through July 30th and...

I had one and used it a lot before loaning it to a friend when he found a free 4x5. It was super sharp in the center but the corners of 4x5 suffered. This worked for the project I was shooting at the...

Milton,

I do this for artists on occasion and bill in this way:
• Base fee
• Fee for each view--if shooting slides then additional copies of the same view have a reduced fee. Each format has...

The "daily up" feature is a lo-fi blog without RSS feeds.

I use a Combi-Plan tank and almost always develop 12 sheets at a time in it. I put film back to back with nothing in between and it works fine. I do agitate a bit more aggressively than I do for 35mm...

Was the print made on a 20x24 sheet with a border around the image area? I'd think that was fairly standard. Most labs I have used in the past list the paper size on the price sheet--actual image...

There is no replacement for any of Polaroid's sheet film materials that will fit your holder. I always loved Type 52 and am sad to see it go.

The only instant films now available are pack films...

No specific recommendations, but a couple of resources for finding interesting photography books:

A great resource for photo book collectors is Photo Eye. Its online magazine, weekly e-newsletter...

Dashwood Books, I believe, sells books on commission. www.dashwoodbooks.com

Frank's suggestions are good, though I'd skip the work lights and Smith Victors and look at the Lowel line of lights. When I left school I bought a Tota and an Omni for interior work. They are great...

Hi everyone,

I have a show opening this Thursday at the Tribeca Beauty Spa of work from my Journeys and Dreamlike Velocity projects. There is a reception from 7pm to 9pm (November 20th). TBS is at...

Hey Everyone,

I've got four large scale color photographs up in a show at destination Art Space. The show features pieces from 15 artists working in a range of mediums and was curated by...

My Graflex 23 roll back is knob wind and has the pin rollers. The few times I've used it it seemed to hold the film flat enough for my needs.

I was at the Photo Festival and have been to their store/gallery in DUMBO. I've got Kevin Bubriski's "Pilgrimage" which was published by powerHouse in 2002. The book is nicely designed and well...

One from a couple of weeks ago. Shot with a Fujinon 125mm on HP5 @ 800 in Xtol.

Hey Joe,

If you've not booked accomodations yet, give Jane or Steve a call at Aysgarth Station. It is a small B&B in Bar Harbor: www.aysgarth.com. I stayed there a couple years ago for a wedding...

Nathan- the NikonScan software is buggy. If there is anything else attached to your computer via firewire it won't see the scanner, at least with Leopard or Tiger as the OS. Try disconnecting other...

Arthur, check out Talas on 20th Street (talas-nyc.com). They're great for mat board and storage boxes/bags (as well all kinds of fun book making, archival storage and art restoration supplies)....

Check to make sure you set your margins correctly on your custom paper size (see the manual for margins for roll paper) and that the printer driver is set for roll paper. I did some 10" x 90" prints...
