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.
Beware the advice given by the early hunters of the new bird. They can’t fly either.

NB: I collect notes using a pad, often paper, backs of prints… but, write, post from a desktop. Differences in width and duration may appear as marks.
refreshing some items. Slavich sourcing is the main. I’ve written about this before.
Longing for a past product isn’t uncommon. I do it. You do too, at least if you are over 20. What would a made up word be for such a longing? How about something like:
**Nar-lugal** — combining “nar” (song/memory) with “lugal” (great/ancient), suggesting a reverence for what came before, OR,
**Edin-nar-kalam** — “edin” (plain/eternity), “nar” (song), “kalam” (land/realm). It evokes vast, timeless realms singing through history. PERHAPS,
nishanwu — (ni‑shan‑wu) Chinese phonology with an added archaic syllable “wu”; means longing-for-old. AND, FINALLY
**Zhong-Shu**: “Zhong” (中) is a Chinese character meaning “middle” or “center,” and “Shu” (書) means “writing” or “document.” Together, it could imply a preference rooted in historical documents or traditions.
slavich paper was only occasionally produced in the ‘teens of this century. Slavich, the company make holography and photo-booth supplies, with an occasional production of silver paper.
should you wish to ask the maker…perhaps try this.
I was one of the buyers of the slavich. It was touted by the netters for being great at many things.
everyone wants to be relevant none more so than the amateur who has never been relevant never noticed in their field never noticed in their craft … they fight over the small opinions, the scraps. Where does the fight in the scrapyard arrive?
The know it all’s that do little make the biggest mistakes.
Your first action reveals your past ability.
not even an imaginative mea culpa 
Chuck: “THEN all we’ll hear is about the horrors of “the man”, “greed” and all the rest of it so popular these days from people with no skin in the game.” “I’ve done my share of consulting in large (or even very large) businesses. You see this all the time. When something gets really big, people lose sight of whom they serve and what their larger mission is. The preservation of the status quo becomes more important and leadership hunkers down in “protect” mode. That was true at Kodak, but it is equally true of many large institutions including big business, big church, big government, big charity, big entertainment …”
[ wonder who he skins; (until another time)]
Spirit of Honesty. Behind the report is the person. SEC reporting. Kodak reports critically, but with dropping share price makes clarification. Seems that owner culture tied to stock comp means we explain beyond the rules. We engage in optimism sales talk.
FujiFilm doesn’t do that. They are prepared for the persistent ocular-secular perception of being “inscrutable” — they file and say to all the same thing. Without so much as a Chatham rule.
NBR link to stock Kodak vs. Fuji and publication of financial data to be used by investors. What they are buying, including elements of hazard the company knows. The open hand of the west, but only the east accepts in letter and deed .
When you bought your house, you didn’t move it. It isn’t a couch. Same with buying a business. The sign changes. Perhaps as easy as adding: “A Division of ..[your name here]” — No bull dozer. No bullshit. Perhaps this is something only those in the “ology” fields perceive. The demi-quantz miss most of the actual questions. Must be biology, or such — so much for degrees of meritocracy.
