We never put anything but the art itself on the walls and small pins which have 1 -40 numbers on them which matches the numbers and descriptions on...

For my last show, the gallery put a number next to each photo, and had a printed list with a thumbnail and details for each image. They put a stack...

ALL the 'Patent' lenses I have examined have the rice writing, even one I bought from India and which has probably been repolished at some time...

Yes, I know, Marty. When I write 99%, it's because I don't have the exact volume in mind. I fill the tank to the limit below the top edge of the last...

Me neither.

Thanks. I don't use that lens very often. And I have only shot a couple rolls of color with it. Follow this link for a Moonrise Using Fuji Pro...

I do inversion with the smaller 6 sheet JOBO tank, and about 1400 ml of chemistry (Pyrocat HD, water stop, TF-4). No problems. I do a prewash for a...

Finished the overhaul and fitting on the donor back. Turned out it needed a fair bit of repair. A good amount of damaged wood; in the end, was...

I don't shoot a lot of "big" landscapes much, generally shooting things that are just a yard/meter or three away. Here's where the 'poor' folks...

The shows I have been to at galleries showing only photography don't display technical information beyond the print. If someone is interested, I'm...

We went to Picchetti Ranch Preserve in Cupertino, CA, on the morning of the 4th of July. I guess we got there early, as there was only one other car...

Here you are, Whir-Click. I certainl appreciate your encyclopedic web pages!

I use both 2520 and 2550 tanks with 2509N reels for 4x5 processing. Not sure what Vaughn is doing, but my pour in is around 10-15 seconds with a...

I guess it depends on the type of gallery. The photo only galleries I've been to have had it, but of course, it varies -- some show almost nothing,...

Magic Smoke once it escapes is almost impossible to put back and electronics won't run without it. I'm up to 7 power packs, 16 heads including 2...

I have no idea what's happening here, but that's ok. I like it!

Nice to see someone using one of those long 6x7 teles. I've always wondered how they perform with color and the fringing you might get in some...

Such an interesting combination of people and things, well done.

I visit a lot of galleries. I have never seen technical data beyond the type of print, or if any special techniques like hand-coloring or toning have...

Firstly, a tank filled to 99% allows almost no circulation for the fresh flow of chemicals to reach the film surface. So, I wouldn't be surprised if...

Your response is very much appreciated. I've been looking for the rice writing but so far unable to locate it. I'll try again in different lighting,...

Jon, I really like this photo. Could you tell us a bit about how you got this color effect? Sandy

@Alan Klein manu thanks for your welcome. I like the 4x5 also because with it is possibile to understand more about photografy. And then bevuase, as...

I've never seen a plywood softbox so I guess that means I'm "young". Yeah it's pretty amazing what $100 can get these days you in terms of a...

Now for something just as explosive! I check using the search words “auction” and “lerebours” about every year to see if there are any new serial...

The proportions looked wrong for inches although I have 2- 72" umbrella softboxes and an 84" strip light. When I started softboxes were made from...

Hi Arri, thanks for the detailed info and example photos. It is an interesting lens and I will be patient in looking for one that is suitable for...
