I'll bite.

Frankly, I don't trust the claims of inkjet longevity. Every, and I mean EVERY, inkjet print I have ever seen or made has faded noticeably within two or three years, and most have...

Paramount Cords

They have pretty much everything you would need, and if they don't stock the cord you need, you can have custom cords made up to suit you. I just yesterday received a new...

The ones doing the exploding aren't Muslims, they are psychopaths and murderers.

More to the point, to use flash powder, I think you'd have to do quite a bit of experimenting as to amounts to use...

I recommend you at least try stand development with the Pyrocat. I have had great results with 1:1:300 with a 1-minute initial agitation followed by a couple inversions of the tank (I use a 2-liter...

It's threads just like this that have doomed photo.net to mediocrity. Kirk, shame on you for starting this troll. Jorge, Jeffrey, paulr, Tim, and the rest of you...why don't you just whip 'em out...

"Giclee could be a correct term, you can squirt them out one after the other..."

I can see you haven't seen the high side of 40 yet. That, or you have a young mistress...;0

I save pretty much everything. Every once in a while I'll look through the files. Somtimes I find something to print that I hadn't before, or perhaps I see an image in a different way after time...

I would say that, in the end, you'd be better off to buy a good lens in a bad shutter and repair the shutter. Most "bad" shutters only need a cleaning and lubrication to work like new. When you...

Tim,

A decent LF camera costs about $250. Two words: Speed Graphic. :0

After 25 years as a TV director, I can measure time in my head almost as accurately as a watch, usually within about 1 second per minute, and more accurately if I'm counting.

I used to have a...

Calamity,

Did you just squirt lighter fluid into the shutter without disassembling it?

The lighter fluid does a very good job of loosening up the old sticky grease and oil in the mechanism, but...

I bought a flash model Brownie about three weeks ago on eBay for 10 bucks. Works, will take 120 film on the supply spool (not on the take-up, tho) and is really cool art-deco design. I got it for...

I'll cast my vote for the tent. The larger the better. I use a Photoflex changing room, and for me, it's just adequate room for 4x5 (I need the room to fully open Grafmatics), but it was a LOT less...

...as soon as I remember where I left them!

Umm...it was Puffed Rice and/or Puffed Wheat. And it was "Shot from guns".

Why can I remember that cereal slogan from 35 years ago yet I can't remember what I went into the other room for?

"Nitrile is *much* better than latex for chemical resistance..."

I'd like to clarify that. Nitrile is somewhat better than Latex for resisting some chemicals, while Latex is better with other...

FYI:

Newsday article.

I tried photography while on Acid several years back. I took a whole bunch of photos of the things I saw but for some reason the photos just didn't match my previsualizations.

Perhaps I...

If it'll make you feel better, you can buy my Shen-Hao 4x5. I've switched to Speed Graphics because they suit my shooting style much better and after much soul (and wallet) searching, I have decided...
