Filmdate 033108- Socks and time.

Posted 03-31-2008 at 01:27 PM by JBrunner
Yesterday I realized how much of my life is wasted matching my socks after the wash. So I threw them all away and went out and bought 1 dozen identical pairs of white cotton socks.

I am constantly in awe of my own mental prowess.

making wet-plate holders

Posted 03-27-2008 at 09:43 PM by TheFlyingCamera
well, I finally made my wet plate holder. I have a home-brew holder made from an 8x10 film holder- I got out the Dremel and cut the hole in the septum for the plate, glued in my corner supports, and made a pressure plate that can go between the darkslide and the aluminum plate with the emulsion on it.

Slide #32 - The Larch.

But I digress.

Today I assembled the plastic box for my smaller silver bath. All the pieces had been cut to proper size but one, the bottom, when I ordered it. Fortunately, I had a fair bit of leftover from the whole sheet, so I was able to cut a replacement. Don't let the acrylic salespeople fool you- cutting to size is not as simple as scoring a line and snapping off the excess. Fortunately, I had bought a saw attachment for my Dremel motor...

A mission for the camera club

Posted 03-14-2008 at 09:00 AM by aolsson
One old building at the local hospital will be demolished shortly and the clinics that currently reside there are moving to a newly built complex.

The camera clug got a call from the hospital asking if we were willing to document the old eye clinic. Premises, people, possibly patients. The hospital pays for all and they want it in B&W.

Could be a lot of fun.
