I feel better now, thanks :)
My three year old was very serious when she informed me of this. I guess I'm living with it.
Took a longer than anticipated break from shooting and pulled out the tent to check my holders for film and the thing reeks. The coating on the fabric has always been a bit "sticky" but now it's...
Per was a great teacher. He had that quality of being gentle and honest with critiques and completely infectious with his vision. I first met him at a workshop in Zion's national park. I had never...
Dammit, did I miss you out here?
Her feet look dirty.
I often make paintings where feet and hands are dirty so I'm really relating to this.

I've had so-so results with film from the late 60's and early 70's using HC-110 and adding benzotriazole.
Is this similar to the black fingernails of the Amidol group?
My first try at the Argyrotype process on Platinotype paper.
Followed Mike Ware's instructions as close as possible.
The last photo is not mine but is the great grandmother of the little girl in...
Thanks guys.
Rick, I didn't need to use your old plane on these but I did while replacing part of a window sash on my house a few weeks ago.

I can only comment on the Jobo option. I was patient and found mine for $200 used. It's still pretty pricey and if you don't mind one at a time in a tray then that's by far your cheapest/best method....
I started this project just before moving 2500 miles cross country for a new job and a house that need a ton of renovations (including a darkroom). This week I dug out the box of parts and got to...
Still working on developing and printing from the workshop last October...
14" commercial Ektar lens
8x10 Efke 25 developed in Rollo Pyro
scanned contact print
I was shooting some 8x10 HP5 (set the meter to 320) and switched to my 5x7 Efke 100 but forgot to reset my meter. I hate to lose those shots and wondered if there was a way to salvage the negs?
I...
Really love this one.
Sounds like fun. Count me as a "most likely" :)

8x10 on Efke 25 and a 14" commercial ektar lens. Plus, our very own Pete Roody.
I've started printing from some of the negs I made at the workshop:
The square images are shot with a Yashica 124 on 1960's Kodak film. You may notice some fog...
This is less than 30 min from my house. I'll be going for sure.
My Wisner 8x10 at the NY/NJ studio workshop.
You can see my home made packard shutter box. The other big brass lenses all have retaining rings and lensboards but I really wanted to see what this...
Eddie,
I haven't printed the FI negs with I made with that lens. The earlier shots I posted of the Brooklyn bridge were made with it though. Thinking I should have bought it from you when I had...
Flatiron building in NYC. I really love this building and have shot it two different times. I'd like to go a few more times even. This is a full frame 8x10 on the widest lens I own. Just barely...
Thanks Mike, I should be so lucky. It's just a quick scan (color) of the b/w contact print. I have yet to try selenium toners but am anxious to try.
Alan.
Nieces and Nephew in my backyard last Easter.
Efke 25, 14" Kodak Commercial Ektar lens
Thanks Mike. This is actually a cropped 8x10. I measured the best I could then cut an extra darkslide to make a 4x10 option. My groundglass is gridded so I can easily tell where to compose. It's not...
Brooklyn Bridge and Wall Street in NYC.
Two interpretations of the Brooklyn Bridge. Taken last winter during an outing with the NYC area group.
In the backyard last Easter.
Here's some documentation from the Workshop:

Thanks to those who participated. Can't wait to see the film...
