Very Nice, Scott.
I have not seen one of these before. What is the door in the center section for?

Be sure all movements are locked down before inserting the film holder.
That wouldn't be someone's copyright that has been blacked out on those photos would it?
I saw his show at the Seattle Art Museum in '78 and loved his work. I still have the catalog of that show around here somewhere. He had another show in the pas couple of years - I don't remember if...
I don't dry mount very often but, when I do, I use parchment paper as release paper. It works fine. The stuff I have is intended for baking cookies. I got it in the baking isle at my local market. ...
Man, Jason, that says COLD.

Andreios,
Very nice image and I like the color very much. I am familiar with kallitype but "carbon toned" is new to me. Would you please give a brief explanation.
Dan
Hi, Andrew. I am going to go see the show next week and hope to be there for the reception also. I have heard from Craig that the people who hung it are really pleased with the way it came...

I still have a "Brand 17" 4x5 that I got in '76. If I remember correctly, I paid $40 for the camera, a lens, 6 film holders, a dark cloth, and part of a box of Tri-X. The bellows has pretty much...

I have not yet made salted prints but a friend of mine had a show of his. The prints are simply beautiful. He used Magnani Revere Suede Finish Paper and did not need to size it. Here is a link to...

This symposium is geared to the beginner and the advanced photographer alike who are interested in...
Pete,
I don't know about cyanotype but I have been doing a lot of gum printing lately on Fabriano Artistico Extra White Hot Press, a buffered paper. I don't have to do anything to the paper if all...
Darkroom - When I scan I almost always scan darkroom prints.
Bob - Thank you for the link. I haven't gone there yet but will this evening when I have time to really look at what is there. Your suggestion that we invite John to speak at the symposium is good....
Bob,
Do you have a link to some of John Bentley's work. I would love to see it. I tried Google and came up with a lot of people by that name but wasn't able to locate the right one.

Claudio, I agree with David. I just spent an hour looking at your work on your Flicker site -- Wonderful!
I agree with what Thomas said and would add two things. 1) You need to be very careful to avoid scratching the film - it may well have emulsion on both sides. 2) Gloves are useful to keep from...

Instead of glass, I use a sheet of material I bought at a fabrics store. I don't remember what its intended purpose was - something such as needlepoint I think. It is flexible plastic and has holes...
Hah -- They're not going to find anything.

If you are in the US and if you don't need photo-grade and are looking for more than a box of Knox Unflavored Gelatin, BulkFoods has good prices and shipping is reasonable. They used to have a link...
Publish it in your blog.
I have and make much use of an 11x14 B&S frame. I am very happy with it. I don't know if PF has changed its design but I used one of their frames at a workshop and did not like the snap catches...

Huckleberry cheesecake :o - It has been at least 10 years since my local market carried it and I still miss it.

Yep :o

I have only made about a dozen negative enlargements. There are enough controls available to adjust the contrast to work with various processes but I really prefer using my large format in-camera...
Jay, It is very slow. I don't have any speed index for the material I am using but, when I am enlarging 35mm negs to 8x10, I am getting exposure times of several minutes (5 to 8) with the enlarger...
I seem to recall reading that mammography x-ray film is single sided. My only experience with x-ray films is with x-ray duplicating film. It is single sided but isn't actually intended to be...
Thank you for the informative post. I have one lens I need to make some stops for. Reading your post has inspired me to get to it.
Dan
Very Nice! How about posting a picture of the backpack you carry it in. :D

The parts are standard ABS plumbing fittings that I picked up at Lowes or Home Depot Yes, they are just glued together with ABS glue. Which reminds me, the glue is strong smelling and seems to...
