永遠の今 eternal now. continuing from yesterday … words from a different language carry your thought in what seems a newer pocket– a better basket. Much like place changing. but, you are always within a now, one very long now.
what I had first thought to say was that changing a paper should be considered as ongoing. there has never been one perfect paper. flexibility has been granted, partially, with digital. Prints aren’t endpoints, they’re pause points in the process.
My pronouncements are meant for me. Upon my reflection .
As one thing comes into view… tools changing tools means making alters the maker. As I entered scanning, printing my early films, I was given poor advice by the ready to answer crowd. Those first efforts resulted in damaged film… so it goes. Many of those were favorites. Someday I may find a way to repair — reuse them.

N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)glycine (glycin) is synthesized by reacting p-aminophenol with chloroacetic acid. This reaction typically occurs in a solvent and results in the formation of glycin, which is then purified. Other less common methods for synthesizing related compounds exist, such as using glyoxylic acid, but the p-aminophenol and chloroacetic acid reaction is the most direct and widely cited route. https://www.google.com.sl/patents/WO1995018093A1

[As a young man, Proust was a dilettante and a social climber whose aspirations as a writer were hampered by his lack of self-discipline. His reputation from this period, as a snob and an amateur, contributed to his later troubles with getting Swann’s Way, the first part of his large-scale novel, published in 1913]
