This is a long shot...but here goes:

Does anyone know of any photographer(s) in Nicaragua who use large format? I'm asking because in the Fall I have to finish a long term project there and I'm...

Thanks so much, Ari.

Lucinda passed at 92 years. She was born in Katonah, NY, which is two towns away from where I live. Yes, she was a touchstone indeed.

Thanks, Kent. That's my experience, as well.

I DM'd you, Philip.

I am currently working on a long-term, large format project making portraits of Americans. You can view some of the work on my website in the section entitled What's it Like for You to be an...

I'm about to start a large format project on cemetery headstones. The project will compare 18th century engravings carved into the stone with 21st century laser printed images of the deceased.

Many, many thanks!

Really appreciate the thorough and comprehensive explanation. I will certainly experiment, as you suggest. Happy New Year!

While I don't think I'll be installing a water system, I will start using distilled water to prepare the chemistry. Thanks!

Nice of you to say so, Peter.

Appreciate it!

Many thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll have to wait to do that for the next time I prepare the chemistry.

Used Unicolor chemistry.

Yes, that was my understanding, until I got the wate rspots. Thanks for affirming.

Just started processing color negatives using C-41. I was under the impression that after dunking the film into the Stabilizer for a minute the entire process was basically done, and all that was...

Extremely helpful, Peter! Many thanks.

I scan my LF negatives so that I can digitize them. I've just experimented with printing on Epson Exhibition Canvas. I'm wondering if I have to protect the surface of the canvas by applying a spray...

Thanks, Grat. I didn't mention the Stearman because the holders look a bit flimsy to me. Also, I'd rather be able to develop more than four at a time. But thanks for the info, nonetheless.

Thanks, Ari! Do you have the whole Jobo processing system, or do you just roll the tanks on a countertop?

I have been successfully tray developing black & white sheet film, both 4x5 and 8x10, for 30 years. I'm about to attempt developing 4x5 color negatives and I'm thinking that I won't be able to...

RK,

Many thanks for your thoughtful response. I thought the wood might have been at play, too. In the end, however, the gear just needed a touch of powdered graphite.

Thanks, Keith,

I rolled it off the rack as you suggested. By doing so, I was able to pinpoint in the middle set of knobs exactly where the mechanism was binding. (It wasn't an alignment issue). I...

Suddenly one of the focusing gear tracks on my 8x10 Ebony is binding up. Even with the locking knob loose it's hard to turn the focusing knob, and when I do a grinding sound is produced. I seem to...

Hi, Gabriel,

Yes, I am. @robtkalman

The exhibition will be...

Many thanks for the insights, everyone. Very helpful!

I'm thinking of mixing up some Rapid Film Dryer (as per Paul Lewis's formula in Steve Anchell's The Darkroom Cookbook) for those times when I need to rush a project along.

The formula is:...

If you're in NY, I'd be pleased to have you stop by.

If you can't make...

Really appreciate your interest, Drew. It'll be on its way later today.

Thanks for ordering a copy, Randy. It will be in tomorrow's mail, and I'll send you a tracking number.

In the fall of 2017 I set out to document Confederate monuments throughout the South in the wake of the deadly event in Charlottesville, Virginia. I wanted to understand the reason for the existence...

Sadly, this may be relevant to anyone planning on attending the Nicholas Nixon exhibition.

Thanks, Andrew! If you can make the opening, or any of the other dates I'll be at the gallery, I'd be pleased to make your acquaintance.

Want to let Forum members know that I will be showing my portraits of Israeli and Panamanian transgenders starting January 4th at the Soho Photo Gallery at 15 White Street. (Between 6th Avenue & West...
