When you hang out alone the Internet [2016]

motors jump, everyone is down Highway ,have to consider that you’re either going to turn in 

,or if your courageous smart you’ll turn away from, leave that place, but since you don’t, mean this is your primary steel place, so therefore, these must be the only skill to have

the internet isolated spaces

hang out with charlatans, frauds, and stalled thinkers, you will be seen as belonging

Kodak insisted that, in return for its cooperation, it be allowed to sell instant film for Polaroid cameras in its own hallmark yellow boxes. This kind of head-to-head competition was simply something Polaroid could not abide, and so the two companies went their separate ways; Polaroid designed and built its own facilities to manufacture the film for its new system, and Kodak stepped up its ongoing research to develop its own instant products to compete with Polaroid’s.https://www.businessinsider.com/kodaks-response-to-the-polaroid-camera-2016-7

The conversation has ended. The last of QT’s gymboree have called it quits. Down is their holder, up is their phone.

not with a bang… but Oh, what a whimper

They no longer listen with open ears. Perhaps thinking themself a higher being, being that you use a big camera, thins your blood and your skin.

Worser, even. The web pages of the published members … a collection of 404s.

“Published work — Not Found”

… so it goes. Advice from the lovelorn

When they can’t keep a stream or a thought. simple things become big bad loud things. the mods don’t seem to understand that the one person they keep is the one they should quiet.

small questions with Big Ego responders are more explosive than any bare spark in a room filled with nail polish… even the gossip girrls know that.

Of course the Forum hasn’t Closed. I think it is long past any new information. Not that there isn’t something more to say, or say in a more refreshing way, however, the people with honesty and honestly interesting stories have long since abandoned the premises. The promise has failed; the reason is past. It will remain, since QT and friends have, apparently, nowhere else to go.

This is their stomping ground; their piece of the pond.

Drying Fiber Prints

paper curls as it drys. Take it from very wet to very dry quickly enough and the gelatin (emulsion) shrinks more than the paper (base).

Use the slowest way of drying your print. Fiber darkroom paper will not air-dry flatter than when it comes out of the box in the darkroom. If you need to use strong easel pressure during exposure, that paper may have a defect.

Paper-makers dry paper in an air-box. In labs, during last century, we used large heated rotating drums. These had canvas belts which could become stained, hence, the need for the Anselites to dry on screens. Screen drying racks came from the silk-screen and fine-print maker studios of that time. Many darkroom makers hung prints from clothes lines, like they did with their film. Let it air-dry in a damp basement.

All things considered, it worked well enough. Recently, discussions arise over changes in methods of the years. Large drums are gone; screens remained. Crinkle edges abound. We no longer dry under pressure and controlled temparture. Kodak made drying rolls suitable for prints smaller than 11×14 — they work well. So does ironing the print after it drys down to “damp” — iron from the back on lowest heat setting.

Or, you can flatten the dried print in a heat-press. (such as used by silk-screen printers)

Getting from the question to the respondents — why the need for experts brings out some of the worst.

This is the place WileyPhoto references. He had prints there, that he reclaimed. At various tellings, they were Cibas, or Fuji Crystal … depending upon the need to convince, the topic at hand.

His legend also has it that they were printed such way as to make use of “fading” /// They were also up for “decades” … yet, this retrofit was in 2009, so the prints went up after that. The frames were also made by Wiley, in his very own garage.

I have never sold a print, then reclaimed it. Perhaps a vanity showing is what Mr. WileyPHoto had. The work was on loan, never sold. People visiting the lawyer, think the work was bought. This makes it seem valuable, not mere decor on loan. The work is hardly remarkable, like most decor, it must accommodate, blend into the background. Most of the work in the lobby is BW; that in the offices is by some of the lawyers — their fishing trophies.

This serves as an example of expanded importance. A puffery. Some small thing used to build many big things.
