Good luck Laura! I hope many members of this forum can help out with the fund raising if they are able to.

I'm kinda afraid you are out of luck if you visit in the summer with regards to temperature. Any time but summer and you're golden:(
Sorry to be a downer:(

I enjoyed your photographs very much - they must be inspired by S. Mann's work? Well done I think.

Perhaps smooth tonal gradient transitions? Perhaps not what you are referring to as "definition" but I find it equally vague and difficult to define. It might not be measurable and one of those...

In my experience FA needs a pre soak in oxallic acid in order to fully clear the highlights and unexposed areas of the print. I've had good success after the pre soak.

93636I use a press for pottery, although its only a 30 ton hydraulic. The dies are usually made of ceramical or a proprietary resin product. The dies last for several thousand pressings, with the...

Lol, yeah Paul and Drew remind me of the old show the Odd Couple, or Archie and Meathead from All in the Family:) it is entertaining none the less.

An Epileptic fit waiting to happen:)

It's a slick little unit and you don't need to use the analyzer. Color or black and white it can handle. I couldn't get over the flashing output which is...

It sounds like a great project Curt! Having made both cameras and film holders, I can tell you that the camera will be a piece of cake compared to the film holders you still have to make:)

Yes Curt, your way over obsessing:) it looks great! Think about what the shaft does, it doesn't matter if the knob is not perfect or if it wobbles a bit because it is not moving fast and you won't...

Hi Curt,

Another option I have used is to get a smooth shaft of the correct diameter for your gears and then weld on a small section of all thread on each end for the knobs. I didn't use stainless...

Curt, if you have any problems, you can try all thread rod instead. I hate working with stainless, it's my nemesis:)

Here's a link to a tutorial, it's very simple after a couple tests.

Kirk, congrats on the opportunity! Do you show the work that you will accomplish while being the resident artist or do you show past work at your lecture?

Sal, I never heard that term zone system in s bottle but it works I guess:) I've seen pot ferri described as "liquid sunshine" also.

Jim, I hope you get a bunch of students. I'm sure the attendees will get their money's worth being taught by a devoted disciple of the carbon process! It's also nice to help support Matt's efforts...

Jump back in Mark, the waters just right:)
Welcome to the forum!

I'll throw my 2 cents in on the subject. I have used 4/5, 5/7, 8/10 and 11/14 formats and considering you would like to do on location portraits (I'm assuming poorly lit spaces?) I would think it...

This should work, but it appears to be the sort where you don't need the retaining ring but just screw the lens into it....

Here's a primer from ilford. http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/20114271220441194.pdf

Different bleach and developer formulas can be substituted for the ilford ones. Do a google search and you'll...

Looks wonderful! Wish I could attend this show, it looks to be very interesting with the variety of processes shown. Best of luck.

Damn, I've been doing it wrong all these years:-)

Not necessarily over exposed, but probably overdeveloped with too much contrast to effectively print well. It will be obvious if you overdeveloped during the printing stage as you will have a...

Soak it till its gone. When it's happened to me it usually comes off in under a minute.

Are you using trays, or tubes or tanks to develop? I have experienced the same thing as you and a solution that worked for me was to use hypo clear in a tray instead of my drum and you can watch the...

I think the for sale section works pretty good as it is and is a good resource for the members here even with the sometimes irrelevant posts thrown in such as - wow, nice lens good price etc etc. The...

If you wait a month you can list it on this forum in the classified section.

If all you are doing is making patterns for use while the film holder is inserted in the camera the material doesn't have to be much more than say the card board that is packed with sheet film. Paint...

You know you're gonna do it!

It looks pretty Jim! I can't wait to see the 5x7 or 10x12 you build next:)

Hi Jim, I just mentioned it in case it wasn't apparent. You could make a front standard extender like chamonix does if you ever need the extra extension and leave it off when you don't. Now, get back...

Jim, better measure your arms first before you extend the back. You're gonna need ape arms to focus or your face will be plastered on the ground glass:)

In that case it should be the jimonix:)

The Fitzdorf:)

Welcome back Jim,

For those folks using silver gelatin paper, what type of pen are you using to sign/title the paper? I usually sign the mat in pencil, but that's not an option here.

I have an MEI pack similar to that Vaughn that I used for my 11x14. It has to be the most comfortable pack I have used. The suspension and straps fit my body like a glove. It is overkill for my 8x10...

Thanks Vaughn, I'm still I'm still in my infancy with this process.
