online resources for learning to print

[Bill Burk]

Hi Tim

I am about 1 month away from posting a large number of videos about printing on my website. I am hoping they will be up before Sept 10th, you may be able to glean something from them. www.bobcarnieprintmaking.ca

Looking forward to it too... I can't help thinking of this song for the soundtrack of the video where you cover dodge and burn... (The duck's yas yas yas).

Actually they will all be quite hokey but from the heart... I was lucky enough to get my good friend Brad Pitt do all the talking.

Experience is great, especially other people's experience, especially when you are trying something new. It saves time/money etc getting to the point where you can put your attention on "your own thing." You don't have to be in Thailand as the OP is to feel isolated being a LF film photographer who does everything analog.

I've appreciated pointers to resources that are between really basic or advanced/assume you know all the jargon that are worthwhile.

My mom always told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, say nothing. There are so few of us these days doing film, let alone LF, I think we should dial back the sarcasm and disdain a few stops if we can't eliminate it completely.

My mom says to not look a gift horse in the mouth so to be negative or dismissive of a persons video or site aiding viewers in their printing technique solely based on its production value is a little
misguided

Teach person to fish
Have student decline lesson cause pole is old and not high end and people are watching

Light a person on fire he'll be warm the rest of his life.

Brad Pitt! Wow Bob (or are you joking and it's really Dinesh?).

Do you print for him too? That would impress me. Not that you would be doing his prints (that would be neat though), but I'd be impressed with Brad Pitt if he is smart enough to pick you.

Here is a better less offensive one that also pertains to the threats

“Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.”

By the way, sun of sand, I always enjoy when you get involved in discussions pertaining to art...

So I don't wear out my welcome... This is an inspiring short presentation that can inspire you. Every time I see it, I want to get out the Farmer's Reducer because that's a technique I don't use.

Tim,

Did you perhaps meet Mark Nelson, he is Bangkok too. I met him there 3 years ago. He used to run a B&W printing service in Chicago if I remember it correctly. Maybe he can be of help? If you have not met him yet, PM me and I can put you in touch with him.

Good luck,

Best,

Cor

Thanks Cor. have been printing for a long time. I more or less taught myself, and posted the links because I thought they would be useful for people in the situation I was in five years ago.

I think I know by reputation the guy you mention, but I live outside the city, so don't get much chance to fraternise with the folks downtown.
