Re: P.O.P and diginegs and babies
Hi Chris,
This certainly is wierd. You say 'Lela' and I
say 'Lilly'. Crazy. and I'm surrounded by girls
now.
Thanks for the advice. I think I will have to process in
the wild so the sulphite is a must.
I've just been reading you on
Argyrotype and now I'm wondering which to use, POP or Ag.
Any
thoughts?
Regards,
David

This is too weird--my grand daughter's name (born a

classes in my home and both the midwife and I
missed the birth it was so
fast! or did I already say that onlist,
I'm just toooo proud....) is Lela
Grace. She's little enough
to bathe in my alt process trays! JUST KIDDING,
FOLKS...
Yes to Polaroid 55 film successfully in a pinhole camera--it was in a
Polaroid 545i holder in both a 4x5 box pinhole and a 4x5 springback
pinhole
camera. Watch reciprocity, though. I use Polaroid to test
exposure all the
time in those cameras, mostly the color film type
59, though.
Bring sodium sulfite with you in the field--you can
plop a couple
tablespoons in a ziploc baggie and add a cup of water,
if you want to clear
them in the field.
