link does not work for me
Try- phototechmag.com/author/david-vestal/
Thanks for this, I've always been a fan of David Vestal and it's nice to have all these writings in one place.
Use the link, let it fail, then add the missing colon after http, and the link is good
Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

I fixed it - it works now.
I miss that magazine.
David was a very interesting man. Even as he aged he drove across the country to meet with us at AL Weber's.The trip usually took him 12-15 days. He had so many friends, he stayed with a different one on each night of his trip. I am pleased to have been able to know him.
I learned a great deal from David Vestal; the lessons from a one-week workshop in 1985 still resonate. And that made me appreciate his monthly columns all the more. Glad to see they are online- as my paper copies are both incomplete and far away. I should have subscribed to his newsletter "GRUMP' but I was stupid and never did. Perhaps those, too, will be available online. I can only hope.
I enjoyed Mr. Vestal's writing as well, although as I reread the darkroom columns, I have a feeling he had about 18 essays, that were written differently, but repeated in essence over time.
Forgive me.
