  1. Re: Thomas Duplex Safelight Bulb Replacement

    Was talking to a friend… last week when I swapped bulbs I didn’t wear gloves. He thinks the bulb blew from my oil. Valid or not?

  2. Thomas Duplex Safelight Bulb Replacement

    I've had the same bulb installed for 6 years, it finally blew... replaced it with a bulb from freestyle and 5 days later the bulb blew. At this point I am unsure if the socket is faulty and I...
  3. Re: Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

  4. Can you guys critique my website/portfolio of my large format photography work?

    There’s a couple major crapshoots (and downfalls to the MFA specifically).

    1.) there is no technical anything, that’s supposed to be covered in BFA programs.
    2.) you pick schools based on who you...

    Agree… essentially, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. The conversation around value : worth is so subjective and based on individual experiences.

    Frankly, the MFA is a giant crap shoot and...

    The two black cases are F64 4x5 film holder cases, hold 5 each. Yellow wrap is a lens. Red wrap is the 4x5 camera.

    Aero Ektar 178mm Filter Solution

    Designed something simple to hold two lee filters. Working through a few versions but getting closer. Similar to what 20th century offers but it’s like 6 bucks in material vs 200.

    Hence no reason to pay the photo tax... half the bag, twice the cost.

    Better off with brands like Mystery Ranch, Kifaru, Stone Glacier. All American made, insanely overbuilt.

    Good bag for just walking from the car to a shot real close by. That bag will demolish your back if you walk anywhere. Practical for storage, but otherwise a useless bag.

    Best of both worlds... Arca Swiss.

    It’s just a smaller user base due to cost.
