The trick with HP-5 is where on the straight line portion of the curve you put the range of tones you are shooting. With 400 TMax it doesn't matter much because it's so die straight out to a density...

Unless Paletti's bringing any (and that's doubtful since the last 3 bottlings have all been >140 proof and therefore banned from commercial flights as Hazmats - I am not making that up) there will be...

Absolutely. There will be highly flammable liquids all over the place, in open containers no less.

Affectionately known to readers of Lil' Abner as Kickapoo Joy Juice, Mammy Yokum's libation of choice. She got it from Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat, who distilled it in their cave in the hills...

I've found that this event does more to give my photography purpose than any other. No other gallery show or auction in which I could participate will deliver the immense satisfaction of having...

She's not bad with a camera either.

Well, that's certainly a relief. If Paul weren't coming I'd have to drop out. I don't know how to make a Manhattan.

Steve, can you give us approximate (I'm talking really ballpark here) due...

McCutchen + Dumante Manhattans = Nuclear Holocaust, so I guess that means that now we have to drop Paletti.

Happy news if true. It would mean that such great strides have been made in digital capture that one of our greatest photographers feels that the quality is now there which enables him to use the...

TMY in either Harvey's 777 (if I want smoothness) or Pyrocat HD (semi-stand to control midtone contrast).

For color work, EPY.

Everything also works perfectly on Firefox 3.0.1 running on Linux (Ubuntu 8.0.4). Really nice website. The initial splash makes you want to see more and only 1 click takes you to pictures. It...

I've been photographing both inside and outside the National Cathedral with tripod mounted view cameras for more than 15 years and have never had anyone even question me about what I was doing. I've...

I'm certainly willing, but not a part of her constituency. Scott Davis is your best bet. He's a DC resident.

Another idea: the restaurants on the balustrades where those incredible sentinel...

Email him, Jorge. He's quite responsive and probably would rather have an email of your desired quantity to more easily keep his running tallies. williaml@glazerscamera.com

Mike:

The next time you're around here, dinner's on me. (BTW, I've emailed William about the 5x7 I want. I suggest anyone else interested in this format do the same.)

Where can I get 13x18cm holders in the US? B&H sells my favorite emulsion (Ektachrome 64T) in that size here in the US, but not 5x7. Don't ask me why not. If I had the holders I'd buy a few boxes...

What I liked:

Shelby Lee Adams and the lovely Roxanne who accompanied him (apologies for not remembering her last name)

Shelby Lee Adams' photographs (on display at the Paul Paletti Gallery...

What's the URL for your blog again?

What in the world can that possibly mean?

Hear, hear! If you look their respective response curves it becomes obvious that TMY is the closest thing we have to Super XX in a modern film. And frankly, even if Kodak were still making Super XX...

When I signed up I was told that my credit card would not be charged until the Spring. So if coming up with the money now bothers you, this should help. I know I certainly appreciate it. I'm...

They don't as they're totally unnecessary due to the superb fit of the caps themselves.

You can laugh all you want to but doing so won't diminish either the quality of the caps or the gratitude I...

A uniquely wonderful product which you just can't get anywhere else. They made me a cap for my 19" Goerz Red Dot Artar. I balked at the price when I paid it, but after having used the cap for 5...

One reason I always dry mount is aesthetic and not merely technical. The windows in my overmats are cut larger than the print size so that I can float the picture within it. The overmat may never...

If Will says he's ok then I guess I would bid on any item I wanted that he was selling. A thread like this can be a means to affirm as well as warn.

It looks to me like he's just relating the facts of the matter. And for what it's worth, I care. Pointing out troublesome deals with regular lf sellers is a service to the lf community. Thanks to...

It must be Halloween, since this undead thread ceaselessly wanders the forum chanting "Brains...must eat brains".

Reading it has certainly chewed my brain into mush.

Sometimes we are victorious. I know that Paul Paletti got the J.B. Speed Museum in Louisville to turn up the illumination on a Friends of Photography Ansel Adams show after weeks of intense...

I mapped the route on Google Earth. It's about 40 miles closer than the drive from here, and I make it in 9-10 hours driving time. You'll do it in a day, easy.

I don't know how many prints were in the portfolio Michael sent him, Jorge, but from the look of his website $5,000 won't touch the value of his work. I don't think we're dealing with a small claim...

Registered. No email confirmation received after 1/2 hour. Screw it.

Use an 85B to filter EPY outside. Chrome in Georgetown (Q Street, just off Wisconsin) does excellent E-6 processing. They can even enlarge them if you want to have big Ilfochromes made.

Hi, Will:

Personally, I've never been big on consensus. It inevitably leads me to that which everybody can live with but which nobody really wants.

The best film manufactured today, IMHO,...

I think you'll find it easier to get beautiful prints if you adjust your development accordingly.

Harold Harvey's Panthermic 777 is my favorite.

BTW, "Pyro" (a term usually meant to refer to pyrogallol) is not a developer. It's an ingredient used in a multitude of various formulae, the most...

I put the darkest part of the picture on Zone IV with my Pentax Spot Meter, and then see where the brightest part falls. I develop accordingly, by inspection with any film except TMY. Call this...

No. That's what makes it so valuable. Trying to describe this is like trying to describe to the chained people in Plato's parable of the cave just what it looks like outside.

They're a little light on bellows draw (I can't use my 300mm Dagor on my 4x5 Tachihara) but they're very well made. The beautiful Hokkaido cherry hardwood always elicits compliments, even from...

Thanks. Things are pretty gloomy around the office this morning. I needed a good laugh.
