Dear Geroge, What is happening with the long, like 12 hour, exposures?
Please keep me posted. Thanks, Jean

Jean -

I started with a 12-hour exposure of my darkroom, as I have doubled its size recently. However, I used a Kodak Readyload and haven't tried developing the negative yet because I need to expose the other side. <g> I have been putting things together for tonight, when I get together with a group of others (this is a monthly thing) to share what we have done over the past month. After tonight I will get going again on the 12-hour exposure and post something on my site, letting folks here know what I did.

Cheers -

george

Hi Nick,

Thanks making these documents available to the pinhole community. It's nice to know that these sources are available on the web. Ever considered making those available on CafePress?

I was fortunate to be able to put my hands on an original copy of the 1905 PhotoMiniature (for a non-trivial price, as you may imagine). The book is libtaty refrenced and is stamped "Withsdrawn from the Smithsonian Institution Libraries"! Not a bad reference, I suppose. This little book is fascinating on many fronts, including all the commercials for products long disappeared.

The book also made me realized that whereas Pinhole photography has not much changed over time, the way it is used today is dramatically different and, as we could see from the World Pinhole Day outcome, the creativity offered by this process is fully used by pinhole photographers.

Happy pinholin'

Guy Glorieux

Guy,

In the Photo Miniature issue, D'Arcy Power, between pages 542 and 544,
refers to plates XVI through XIX which were nowhere to be found in the
interlibrary loaned photocopy I made the .pdf file from. The last page
I've got is 551. If you have the actual original print, are they
anywhere to be found in there? If so, I'd really like to update the
file.

As for making them available on CafePress, with a basic (free) shop
you only get one of each type of product, and I've already my book "The
Pinhole of Nature" up there. (Thanks to both of you who bought it.) If
anyone else wants to create a basic shop and assemble these pdf's,
they're already in the public domain.

I've got a couple more articles that I got on interlibrary loan, but
they were really terrible copies that I couldn't get cleaned up very
well, but maybe now with 16 bit processing in the new Photoshop, I'll
take another crack at them.

Hey Nick
I have a "free" cafe press store "SchmittHouse" that I haven't been doing
much with so I would be able to host these for you. Now that my colitis is
kicking my butt I may actually try do something with it.
contact me off line if you like.
