Mouse urine contains Lepto*[various] — consider cleaning with a C41(stablizer) final rinse, such as from Bellini or… checking Freestyle found two inexpensive vendors: Bellini and Cinestill.

  • hexamine (CAS 100-97-0) & photoflo (contains ethylene glycol)
  • 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (CAS 2634-33-5) & diethylene glycol CAS 111-46-6

I would try the Bellini. Following that onto the web gets me to a list of darkroom vendors carrying their products.

Bellini Vendors… Spring 2024

Richard Avedon rotated into my notes, so, here:

  • Camera in studio: Sinar P1; Deardorff in field
  • 360mm Lenses. either a 360 mm f/6.8 Schneider Symmar-S or a 360 mm f/6.3 Fujinon-W . Prices just now at between $500 and $700.

I’ve written about Ciba..patents[US 2,322,084] and formulas/ Maybe I will update them[cibachrome. sunsetters, hikers and weekend walkers]. Also, I have finished tones and toning.

sidenote: Laser or LED exposures can overlap slightly as they scan. This causes an effect similar to pre-flashing paper. THIS IS TERMED OVERSCAN. emulsion makers have altered their coatings to account /correct for this.

sidenote: silver step tablets don’t give same results as dye step tablets of same step sizes and ranges. They differ in the high densities. There is a term for this also.

[santamaura] failed engineers need singular meaning words.

failed: what’s another word for early retirement. redundant. not essential to the future of the company. past production of such insufficient value to warrant retaining for future efforts of ” air industry.” Not able to define a future in the company. Time to write letters on concrete.

see the sun without definition. why does it being ‘meaningless’ (meaning too many things)( he hates variables, demands equations of constants) why does meaning less cause such anxiety.

A: because you are excluded.

you could -- interactions changes
types: opinions become anti rather than of positive
-- woodburytype phd: asks, can't get answer cause braggarts -- without info, gossip from other's opinions
no pictures: no way of comparing. whose brag is bigger
--
the diffraction distraction -- a diffraction function
.... can't show; can't say ... no way of exchange... limited vocabulary -- small, shrinking dictionary.
the flight of the bumbling bee

factual + conceptual erros — blindness :: resentment : division. not letting them win
