A very inspiring suggestion. Wasn't it you that as into the stand development last week? Every other minute and even less the second half of the developing time does appeal to my delicate compensatory sensibilities! mark rabiner :) http://spokenword.to/rabiner/ Sheet film i could do continuous. But it would take a while before doing roll film that way. "I'd prefer a new addition to the Spanish Inquisition....:)" How many LHSA member brought fiber prints to the meeting at Boston? Richard! that's how many! A pleasure to see such excellent work so brilliantly executed. Half was 35mm half was 4x5! 11x14s! the perfect size!
