Joe,
I enjoy your work. It's definitely an honor to share the podium with you.

Joe,

I now begin to understand how a dog must feel at the sight of a street lined with fire hydrants. The anticipation is nearly killing me! :D
A collection of my steam and early diesel electric locomotive images will be published in LensWork Extended #78 Sept-Oct 2008.
Brooks Jensen will be interviewing me. With luck, I will have a...
Marc,
Take a look at "modern" (ie: post 1950) Compur shutters. Many of the shutters I have contain more aperture blades than their Copal counterparts.
Another "modern" shutter that I like is...
I suspect that someone (perhaps even I, Your Humble Servant) will come out with an "Eye Match" method for "calibrating" Linux driven monitors to printers. I remember when Minor White's book on the...
Mine is connected through USB for the entire time I've owned the printer. I've never had any disconnects of any kind.
I'm with you, though, it'd be worth checking for a loose connection.
I've had mine for a number of months now. Used for both print making and digital-internegs. It's brilliant on both accounts. More than half of my Camerawork Gallery show in palladium was printed...
Thanks to all and your kind comments. Of course it's thrilling to be able to participate in this way! :)
For those who can make it, I look forward to seeing you.
Richard,
Many thanks for the kind comments.
I did, in fact, sell out a show that overlapped this one. I had a show of images from a railroad yard. They were 10x12inch images matted to 16x20...
Wow! Great!!! It'll be wonderful to see you. Bring the family too if you'd like. :)
I will be hosting a reception at Camerawork Gallery for a show of my work that is currently hanging in that space. Here are the details:
"Gods and Goddesses, Princes and Princesses" - a selection...
Lovely as ever is your work. Wow.
OK. I'll throw in a pair.
Location Details: Mysore, Karnataka, India. Boys in front of Maharaja's east temple doors. Pujari in front of Nandi Bull (c.1643) on Chamundi Hill just outside Mysore....
Ken, your images are lovely. Well done! :)
It's amazing how passionate people are about their equipment. I don't recall watercolorists or oil or pastel artists being nearly as passionate about their brushes, papers, canvases and materials as...
Brooks, keep up the great work.
Cobalt, well said.
Tools are just, well, tools. As I said earlier, the only thing that matters is the final image.
People might ask themselves, how did they get to the final image? It's a...
On April 23, 2007, Legion announced they had purchased the facility and were keeping it open. True? Or???
So... back to my earlier question: Is Rising Stonehenge usable without first sizing when...
It's interesting to me to read what people use to create their images. However, if the information was not published in LensWork, I wouldn't miss it. Afterall, Brook's basic tenet regarding images...
Do you need to size Rising Stonhenge for it to work with palladium?
Lenswork is my favorite photo-image magazine. The ideas and perspectives put forth can be challenging, but that's what I like about it. Every issue really gets me thinking about how I "see" the...
Linhof did indeed select the best lenses. I don't know which facilities the selection processes took place, but they were implemented.
Back in the 1950's the Linhof selection process was indeed...
Scott, I process in-pod, wash for 5 mins, then clear in Ilford Rapid Fix for 5 mins, and then wash for 20 mins. I believe the trick here is to let the highlights fall where they will, even in...
Scott, I shoot the Type55 at ISO 20 and let the neg get fairly dense. Also, I'm using Formulary's chemicals. Though if you use B&S you should be able to get better contrast than I sometimes get...
Made over the weekend. 150 Germinar W to Type55

Brian, these "work" here. Brilliant! I "connect" with what you shared. Probably because I'm in a similar phase myself.
Here goes:

Just placed a call to my distributor. Whole Plate in FP4+ should look simply drop dead gorgeous!
My continued thanks to Ilford for their support of our fine community of practitioners.
You really know how to make a grown man weep, don't you? That's beautiful!!! :) :) :)
The 150SSXL is a HUGE optic. If you don't mind the weight, it's a good conversation starter.
Before you head down that route, try shooting the SSXL wide open and compare it against your SPO (I...
Sal, what you say is indeed entirely fair.
On the flip side, a small group of photographers in my area were talking about throwing in together to make a purchase. We'd each get one month round...
Well now... this is very interesting... I like the way the light seems to eminate from the paper itself. Nicely done! :)
For those who personally know one or the other of the parties involved I would agree that some public (or even private) acknowledgment, statement, clarification, or comment might be in order.

Lenses are just tools. Does having more tools help or hinder?
I think David is onto something here.
I just got back from three days away. The 5x7 with three lenses went with me. I used only one lens. And that was the Schneider 210mm Xenar f/6.1. It just "fit" the vision I was looking for given...
Kerry has worked very hard for the LF community over the years. If Mr. Thalmann is no longer involved, I see no reason to put my money on the line.
I too have been doing business with SE Asia for...
Another "interesting" option might be an 80 degree #1 shutter mounted 150mm Rodenstock APO Sironar W. I had one and it was very sharp. Smaller than Schneider's 150SS-HM. Rather wish I hadn't sold...
Gary, I really appreciate your efforts in working with Toyo to size the effort and costs. At $80+ I'll have to pass.
It depends on the situation.
If I can use only one lens - 210 Schneider Xenar f/6.1, it fits in the folded camera
If I'm in the studio and have limited space - 180 Nikkor W f/5.6
If I have...
Type55 works well for traditional silver image enlargements, and for contact printing alternative process work. It also scans well, if you're into digital.
Monty,
That's truely amazing. Wow.
