Interest to me, David. I was working as a photographer on the UC Campus during the period you mention, and later. I was hired in 1961 as staff...

Thanks very much for all the suggestions. This thread opens up so many ideas in what can be done.

I think that I like the look of an enlarged print as much as a contact print. So, this is a really interesting option.

Great idea! I was thinking about this using a Mylar material and a green, water soluble ink Sharpie so that the ink could be removed with a damp...

Tuco, My first impression was of a gate preventing entry to government-owned land, and probably a long-closed military facility. The moss on the...

I get the feeling I'm choosing paint colors at Sherwin Williams.

Well....that was an unmitigated disaster. The emulsion melted down well enough in 35mm film cans, but it was like doing wax-resist painting. When I...

I'm old enough to remember that... and the ad too: http://www.thecuckoofarm.com/cuckoo/photo/lens/lensacc/spircirco/spircirco.php It's been...

The Metrolux 11 has been a constant performer.

I painted the area behind the lens board on my 8x10 Mk1 with a flat black craft paint. On my 8x10 Mk2, I painted the same area with india ink. My...

Very nice, Maris! Moody, graphic, what's not to like?

Genuine Ford Fluid TA-31 RTV Silicone Sealant If this stuff sticks it will never come apart. Sometimes it will permanently bond an oil pan to an...

In my experience, contact prints just seem to sort themselves out. IMO, burning is easier than dodging so I try to avoid the latter. I'll begin with...

Peter, thanks for the kind words. Leszek, thanks for the link. My car will never be as nice as the ones shown, or be worth the fortunes people are...

My favorite as well.

I love this!

One thinks of the "Circo-Mirro-Tach" (or something) sold by Spiratone back in the 1960s-70s. Just a mirror set at a 45-degree angle, attached to the...

I like the Gralab 451 or 450. I have one for the enlarger, one for my UV box, and a spare.

I'll guess that a majority of the tens of thousands of enlargements that I've made were timed with an Omega Chromegatrol, the power supply/timer...

What I find interesting is that Adams, at age 65, was still taking on major commercial assignments. I see that as proof that a) he was a workaholic...

Silver nitrate and accompanying sources of halides (chloride, bromide, iodide) for emulsions, salt printing, and developer recipes. Potassium...

I would question why you want to pad the camera at all. I bought the portage pack and made a GG protector similar to yours. After putting film...

Not familiar with them, are they foam or solid material ? If they're PVC use PVC glue, looking at the info on the HD site those tiles are awfully...

That’s a helpful context, David. “Fiat Lux” – “Let there be light,” in case anyone’s curious. Nice observation. Now that I see the "trifold...
