    Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    Right. I fully expect (1) above to be the case. That's why I want to take a look myself in order to evaluate exactly the real factual basis for worry or the wisdom of dismissing the worry. The...

    Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    Thank you Drew. The case against bees wax does not appear to be terribly strong, but I will dig into the matter a bit myself to see if I can find some specific studies on the question before I say...

    Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    Voodoo is certainly strange enough, but is it actually bad for photographs? What exactly is the problem with bee's wax, Drew, in your view --other than the fact that it belongs to the bees? I am...
  4. Re: Today I threw away all my outdated film !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I applaud your move --I even think that I understand it. And I love your fighting spirit. The fact that you posted your act moves me, too. In any case, not every self-ish act is wrong. To be sure,...

    Re: Biggest Lie

    But what exactly do you take the point (TC’s point) to be? (1) Is he simply giving a title to the video (borrowing language from the video itself), which would appear to at least be a claim to have...

    Re: Benzotriazole Questions

    I must confess that I have not done anything like systematic testing, but generally I have found that benzotriazole (BTA) seems to prevent fog at least on negatives more effectively than KBr. I have...

    You can certainly count me in. But let's organize here --Forget Facebook Forever--and then most importantly meet personally ASAP! .

    Re: Is there any real utility to ULF?

    Read Drew Wiley. He made some interesting remarks in response to my articulation of reasons for my interest in ULF. The thread of course is a real enough query about the value ("real untility") of...

    Re: Is there any real utility to ULF?

    It’s worth noting that I was not comparing the very early Adams contact prints to enlargements of the same negative. They were very early contact prints that at least to my knowledge Adams never...

    Re: Is there any real utility to ULF?

    A note to Drew.

    To be sure, I am very fond of the expression "never say never." And even outside the context of masking efforts aimed at bringing an enlargement closer to the integrity of a...

    Re: Is there any real utility to ULF?

    My interest in ULF is related to my interest in contact prints. I will never forget my response to my first contact print (8x10), which was the result of a progression of sorts.

    I began...

    Re: History Question

    For my part, I always think very explicitly and selectively in terms of a “black to white scale” (not black and white) or a "gray scale." In any case, Vincent Van Gogh makes a very early reference to...

    Nothing but bad news this week. Still, very happy to learn that at least his vestiges have a good and productive home.

    This is what you are supposed to think after watching this disgusting advertising-propaganda piece. Turn my "amateur" printing over to a "real" printer? Right. Maybe I should let him have sex for...

    No. Didn't you understand my post? I am a fresh orange juice Luddite. But when I get a chance, i will have a look at the 16,000 images that you posted. Tell the truth TC --you have a fetish for...

    Well, Vaughn. I would say a bit too undeveloped for satire. You needed a few more words.
  23. Re: Why View Camera & Sheet Film Today, in our here and now?

    Presumably you are being facetious. But just in case you are not, let's walk through this line of thinking anyway. For I have certainly heard claims like it put quite seriously, and it even seems...

    I haven't worked much with Ilford MG or Ilford's brand of selenium toner. But I would think that 1:9 is just way too strong to avoid the color shift. 1:20 or weaker I think might solve your...

    Yes. Absolutely moving and inspiring. As Vincent van Gogh was fond of writing (apparently quoting St. Paul): "Sorrowful, but always rejoicing."
