Thanks. Our old Chemistry building has also been replaced with a new one. The old building is being converted to classrooms. Might I ask where you teach?

I was venting, but it was cathartic.

Maybe I'm alittle paranoid but I feel that I am under attack. People around me are using photo chemistry as the reason for a lot of different illnesses. The photo lab is on the third floor an the...

Your statement "Ijust dont get it" concerning the contents of Afterimage shows that you really, really do get it. Its just impossible to see the emporers new clothes especially when the...

I had a moment of epiphany in 1968 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I found myself wandering the city streets looking for street photo ops. I wanted to be Cartier-Bresson. The decisive moment was...

Your right. How great would be to talk with people who were actually there. What a project that would. Heads up to any Ph.d candidates out there. Someone, of course I don't remember the...

Icant snoop around the Houston galleries until the weekend but maybe others in this area can. My idea is to get a gallery to contribute space and time for a "Photography for Katrina Victims"...

Paul is right. Photographers can do something to help these people. I spent saturday at the George R Brown convention center in Houston. There were thousands of volunteers unloading truck after truck...

The recent post about the current re photographic project was interesting. The Klett led project of years ago showed that the land remains largely the same when man does not intervene. I took a LF...

Mark and Steve,

Thanks. In 35 years I have never heard of washing the film to remove the AH back before exposing. Very intriguing. Tell me more. Has anybody ever done this?

Does anyone have any experience with films that do not have an anti halation backing? Or even is there anything like this available? I believe Freestyle has some infrared in 8x10 but the infrared...

Since the demise of Portriga Rapid I have been using MCC. Developing the paper in Amidol and fixing in Sprint fixer. This combo is allowing a very nice selenium split. The Sprint fixer is difficult...

Does anyone have the formula for Agfa Neutol WA paper developer?

I have an 8x10 Elwood enlarger that is a bear to align. So my thought was to make a baseboard that tilts. I,m thinking a ball head attached to a piece of wood that would support the easel (big 20x24...
