Thanks for the info! Is Mono Lake too far to fit into a 3 day stay?

Hey - I'll be in Yosemite in early June by plane from SF where I am picking up a rental car. Do you know is it possible to have an 8x10 and tripod shipped to the Ahwahnee lodge where I'll be...

I think I last ordered from zzmedical. And amazon...

Asking the police where "it isn't safe" and then going there to photograph.... absolutely brilliant!

Over at mother jones magazine wonderful selection of photos seemingly done on Polaroid 55.
Heartbreaking material. http://m.motherjones.com/media/2015/05/japanese-american-internment-kitagaki-photos

You can develop under red safelight with x-ray film. Makes everything a little easier when you can see. LEDs that only emit a particular frequency make a great safe light since they are so bright....

Just an idea, but since you can develop x-ray film under safelight why not do a sheet or two in a tray so you can see what is going on and get an idea of how much time is needed for your process? ...

This is a cool solution: http://makezine.com/projects/make-31/monkeysailors-photo-lab-2/ I bought a 4 slot Nova and it has been worth every penny.

I agree!

Very nice Jim. I have to learn how to do that. I have everything I need except a lamp and spare time.

So last night was soaking this bromoil during inking and the CAT - that hideous creature...

Thanks Wayne! I was in Sugar Camp, WI yesterday having dinner and they had a bromoil up on the wall of the original founder of the town. Kind of cool to see a vintage one like that.

And the rodinal can be used to kill the cockroaches! I actually like rodinal processed very hot for portraits because it enhances the grain. But it also gives very sharp results at 1:200. And it...

magnum!

Kirk - are these made available somehow for remote users? :-) Thanks, Will

Michael - where did you find the dates on that site? The only date I have for mine (331000) is between 1941 and 1945 based on a thread in apug. Thanks! Will

Someone gave me a Canon pixma pro 100 and I've been using it with a ink refill kit I purchased online. I'm pretty pleased with what I can get out of it and it doesn't clog. Having access to less...

To support your point, don't forget he was ADHD or possibly borderline autistic and couldn't attend school in his youth. He was extremely lucky in the father he had. Especially, I think for that...

You have the best models Mr. Gandolfi! I'm using Lithographic Senefelder's Crayon Black No. 1803. I got an awesome large brush for doing chalk painting recently and it works very nicely. Thanks...

Bromoil from contact print 8x10 - David Lewis paper. My daughter as Isaac Newton in a GB Shaw play.

Something fun I did with my daughter - her as Isaac Newton in a play by GB Shaw. Taken on the stage with house lights and an added softbox and a kicker.

Kodak 2D 8x10, Goerz 19" red dot apo artar,...

You need one of those metal supports that go behind the head to stop the sitter moving so much :-) All joking aside, very nicely done. Thanks for the tip on the scanner too.

I was at White Sands, NM in August. Plenty of sand, but it was so hot I couldn't even think, much less setup an 8x10. And that was working 20 feet from the car with ac!

So I'm asking this I guess, but would a Calumet C2 not work with a graflok? I'm looking to convert my spring back to graflok and I hadn't considered it not working...

A bromoil of my daughter's second favorite toy, Arlo. This is my second bromoil so far. 130073

TB makes a lot more sense for the "Stieglitz nursing her back to health" thing for sure, though obviously she overcame it somehow if she did get it since she lived a long time. I was puzzled by her...

I'll second what Oren says. Once had to use a oil filter strap wrench and apply a really large amount of force to a lens to get it to loosen. That was a barrel so I wasn't so concerned with breaking...

Interesting.. It was really easy to mount this lens in it. Is there a reason not to use that shutter? I know the aperture scale is off, but that's usual isn't it?

Yep - that's it. Thank you! I believe there was a huge influenza epidemic that year, so she might have been caught up in that. Idk why but the idea of Strand in West Texas is very amusing to me...

In my polaroid copal 1 shutter it is about 40mm from back to front if that helps. No shims that I can see but the front element is 25mm and the back 19, so there is about 6mm inside of the shutter...

Just saw this http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jack-meyer/a-valentine-homage-to-oke_b_6681816.html?utm_hp_ref=arts and it reminded me of something. I can't recall where I read it, but I believe that...

I know this information is out there already. Try http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/PCat/pcat.html for example.

The Grand Canyon is truly wonderful. (I also recommend Canyon de Chelly if you've never been there, but the Grand Canyon is, well, grand.) One of the really truly amazing places I've been. On the...

It looks very similar to the one I've seen in the HH Bennett studio from about the same time. Would have been taken in Glasgow, KY right?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Stieglitz would photograph O'Keefe after they had sex since she was already nude! IDK maybe I dreamed this as I can't find it now. There's definitely a...

Everyone knows to wear gloves with selenium toner (liquid) right? And it can give off ammonia as well so needs adequate ventilation. Nasty stuff. Oh - the precipitate is normal and (I think) from...

The start of his relationship with Charis is definitely covered in the daybooks. And it wasn't the latter scenario :-) I'd recommend reading them if you haven't.

There is some interesting stuff in Ctein's book "Post Exposure" dealing with differences in contrast between screen dryed and "ferrotyped F" glossy prints.

There is a great article on unbinkingeye by Sandy King that answers most of this: http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Light/light.html

I just made some of these using perspex and a laser cutter that I got time on at a local makespace. I'd be willing to make more for people if they were willing to pay for the materials and shipping....
