Blue Pizza

The New Dye group, as it changed names with almost every meeting of a growing group, they gathered impressions of their growing community. What, if anything, do we call this thing?

… because, for a while one of the printing tests was to turn a pizza blue ..

–here’s an Ektachrome transparency of a pizza. Standard Manhattan pie. Print it so that it’s blue.

My, (we), asking that inner self about your result: do you find an interesting way to do it, or do you print it blue, like a good student would do.

Do you make an ashtray — piece of clay, shaped roundish, with dimples for the cigarettes.

This answered the question that wasn’t asked directly: are you a printer or a printmaker. Is there a question you can answer we haven’t asked. A question interesting to the group. This was always the second round of matriculation interview..

DYE TRANSFER: learn to tell time before taking the watch apart.

TODAY, soup is getting cold, salad getting warm. It is a film day. Stay away from the endless thread pullings.

How about a strange brew of two songs:

— success with few bars, fewer words George Strait https://youtu.be/x_JL_hMBakk?si=WjxBAt5iTWS6JQHn

and only because it seems a counter fact: Dire Straits https://youtu.be/jhdFe3evXpk?si=xsBHpViV4c3VMACc

Both would be/were played at Blue Pizza tables. With dance, discussion, delight.

gooood morning Time Transfer

price as power. power of condit. belief in power. so it comes to this.. hold onto it long enough… you don’t use it, neither does anyone else. What could have been $400 useable wasn’t of interest, nor of use. In these ongoing times, money vanished. The chosen become beggars.

INFLATION DEFLATED.

Condit 4×5 pin registration equipment

–[So I’m holding onto it for them. But even if they don’t, $1000 is more than a fair price for the gear 
if it’s something you need…  and if it’s not something you need, $400 is a waste of your good money! [smile] –

slowly we flip calendars… stations change… so, too, voices of options.

 The big name dropper posts:  I want to sell my set of Condit 4x5 pin registration equipment:

-- 4"x5" Precision Negative Carrier
-- Two of the rectangular/diagonal cut upper-class inserts for the carrier
-- Two of the rectangular lower-glass inserts for the carrier. The end of one is broken off, but it doesn't intrude into the image area with 4 x 5 separations.
-- Two film punches, one set up for four-inch wide film and the other for 5 inch wide film
-- Two Condit wooden contact printing frames, 7" x 9" inner diameter
-- Three pin-register glass plates, 7" x 9", for the contact frames
-- Some odd mounting brackets and bits of hardware and screws that apparently are used to affix the Precision Negative Carrier to some enlargers. I never needed them with mine, so I don't know how they work.

I’d like to get $500 for it. Any takers?

Guess he would never consider donating the items to anyone, perhaps the keepers of the dye transfer group he uses to broadcast
