That would be a good book to get, I like Christina and her books

I agree with this, I have a wall mounted unit and with the price of good quality glass you may want to just ask a local framer to cut you a piece.. We use AR70 glass here for all shows and its a very...

Hi Richard - if you use a double fix how long in each is required with this formula?

I like to mix my own chemicals when possible, I have not been successful being able to mix a rapid fix that is easy and saves me dollars. With the cost of a Gallon of Hypam around $50 I am now again...

Well Photostock is about as casual as one can imagine and extremely welcoming, I have always wanted to go back

I have been mixing together c, m, y in equal amounts and get a very nice dark grey, I think finding a good black for gum printing is difficult, we will do a lot of testing on this, if you use the...

I am going to do a workshop with my staff in the fall with The Pigment Hunter, first on our list is to be able to make the pigments we use daily for our gum prints . Then we may expand this workshop...

I have no idea on the costs, I do have a younger friend who is working on a concept to make exactly what you are suggesting, once he gets to the right stage and the huge sensor backs (phase one) come...

Thanks Drew, though rockhound style mineral hunting is not what I intend to do I actually have some friends and clients that may be willing to do a bit of this. I really like the idea of getting down...

I notice a lot of people talk about stitching and reassemble, what are the thoughts of 150mb single capture using a phase back? I like this idea but wonder how people feel about this single capture,...

Hello All

Bmikten started a thread about where our work should end up and I and a few others hijacked it and turned the discussion about pigments , which I apologize for.
I would like to talk...

Exactly what we a thinking with the setup we are working on , the lens never moves and the back can easily be taken on and off.

Hi Jim. is that because of trying to keep the Minox negative flat .

I actually use Ammonium Dichromate but can easily try potassium we are use in working with this material here. Thank you so much as this may explain further to me how dichromate works with Tree Sap...

No - please elaborate never heard of this.

Funny you mention this, I am coming out to Taos NM this fall to take a course on pigment production with The Pigment Hunter. I am really interested in being able to produce my own pigments as well we...

You are so right, I have a friend of mine who is pretty good at gathering gear working on the base , neg plane, proper lens and what kind of sensor would be appropriate, in a perfect works I think a...

I think this is going to be the way we digitize moving forward , I have no doubt about it. The most incredible aspect of this approach is you can capture instantaneously rather than wait for 10 min...

Mine is in repair right now with Michael Streeter in Michigan , I really like this unit.
It should be back to me in a few months.

Finally after all these years of babble from you Drew I finally agree with you, I hope to find a good yellow, magenta and cyan on those cave walls

I just bought this scanner and its great for a lot of my applications, but for larger scale images I use my eversmart or Imocan. I am researching a large sensor back connected to a process lens and...

I love the fact that Brett took the time to work on 800 of his fathers negatives, this is no small chore , everything I hear about Brett Weston I like, except the bit about the black fingernails.

He would be to costly to hire, and too mouthy as well... Actually I have two young women working with me that show the interest in what we do here, after about 3 or 4 years they may not like it so...

Thanks Alan
I am pretty healthy and plan to keep that way for quite sometime. I have been working on a long term project now for over 18 years and recently am printing it out.
This keeps me happy....

Also a very clear written...

I am on a mission to print all my edition prints before I kick the bucket, At that point I will give the master original negs to some institution or just destroy them, A lot of my original film is...

Hi Fred

If you keep the paper in the same humidity lets say 50% at all times then the chemistry will stay on top of the paper where you want it to be, if when storing overnight the humidity drops...

I have one of these lenses, I wanted to use it for 4 x 5 negatives, unfortunately something is amiss and it has a problem with softness on one side , not sure how to fix this or who can fix this lens...
