Why is it that some folks can believe 4x5 is the cat's meow and all who use it are consummate professions but when they "graduate" to 8x10, then within a few weeks time, those shooting 4x5 are now somehow inferior?

The latest gears are ALWAYS better :-)

Bill L. asked yesterday about FP-3000B negatives. Yes, I just scan them as they are (reflective).

The negatives are quite faint, you have to increase the contrast etc after you scan them. They are not proper negatives like Polaroid Type 55 used to produce, they are just junk really. But I enjoy using modern technology to retrieve something from them.

Thanks, GPX! I enjoy shooting the instant film for it's own sake, but I agree that it is fun using modern technology to pull out a worthwhile image (with quite a different mood than the original print) from the "disposable" negatives. I'm hopefully going to be doing some studio sessions with the 3000B in the near future, so I appreciate the input!

Then there's this. My reinterpretation of Marcel Duchamp' 1964 Pasadena, CA performance. I think he got it wrong. My version performed at Barat College, Jane Byrne Room, Lake Forest IL 1997. This is just before 100 art students and professors came into the room to observe. I also shot the picture, 37 times, motor drive 35mm.

This link is to the Marcel Duchamp version.

Not sure why, but I prefer Marcel's version.

It might be because of the flash reflection in yours.

I could easily remove the flash spot now, but chose to retain it. It's now history, not a work in progress.

I also had to play both sides of the chess board as my muse did not play chess. Erika and I collaborated often.

I've heard of "strip poker" but never "strip chess."

Maybe not but you've certainly seen 'stripped chests'.
