    Re: Biggest Lie

    This is a modern web culture moment when you step back from the question and ask yourself “is my time better spent cutting my toenails?”.

    Good for you. I'm glad you have recovered. We need your wisdom. I've gone through a similar period with a rare auto-immune disease which laid me flat, that was difficult to diagnose and which...

    Re: Kostiner Archival Washer question

    I have never used the aerator as I don’t trust how it washes where the bubbles stick to the prints or film (I use mine for film also). Washing is actually a leaching process and I don’t rush it. I do...

    Re: The "Art" School is Dead

    “Art schools” as in MFA programs are booming. You can’t beat people away with a stick even though it is a flawed model for teaching and/or learning art.

    Re: How Many LF Formats Do You Use/Own?

    good answer.

    I long ago decided I needed fewer cameras but more film, gas, time to make meaningful images.

    Re: How Many LF Formats Do You Use/Own?

    Just down to one Phillips 4x5 and one Linhof Super Technica 5x7. They are used frequently. They will probably outlive me.

  18. Re: Photo travel by vehicle, what's your favorite?

    Yeah mine was t-boned and totaled. I should have bought another one but the Highlander dropped in my lap. It was a Great car too. Both went 200k with only brakes, spark plugs and front struts.

    Re: Kostiner Archival Washer question

    I've used mine for decades with no air bubbles, as I replaced the valve myself-to long to explain (I may have it sitting around somewhere). I think the bubbles look cool but serve no real purpose.

  37. Re: Pens for marking or numbering film negatives - HABS & HAER guidance 2020.

    HABS/HAER requires a project and negative number to be written on the base side of the film along the top edge in the rebate next to where the code notches are.
  38. Re: Pens for marking or numbering film negatives - HABS & HAER guidance 2020.

    Reading up on that on their website, as far as I can tell, they seem to be made for erasing non-permanent pigments. They don't seem to make anything to erase the permanent pigment inks.
