  1. Been downsizing and cleaning up things. I finally found the lost SD card from a 2018 IR flash shoot at B&H in NYC. It got lost a short time after I shot it. As in...lost so fast I didn't have time to put it on the computer. It was Christmas time and I was out doing some street photography on a Sunday afternoon in Manhattan. It started to rain. I was in the area, so I thought I'd step into B&H to give them some infrared radiation. I spent about 20 minutes looking around. Took 109 IR flash photos then left. All candid stuff. I was in a rush to get back to Jersey City as I was leaving that night for Ohio. Being is a rush, the card got misplaced when I packed up. Glad I finally found it. My worst nightmare was finding the card after the data had degraded. You can't keep SD card data forever and not plug it is every few years to keep the data fresh. I was told they hold data for 10 years without a plug in. The longest I've gone is 5 -6 years without a plug in and data was still good on the SD card. Nothing spectacular from the shoot. But it was interesting to do and sure beats standing in the rain! Zir can also go in 'Burkas & Hijabs of New York' project. I like it when I get photos that are useful in other projects. More bang for the buck so to speak. IR flash does not go too far. It is not the best thing for long distance shots. You benefit very little from available light unless you are getting tons of it. But if you were doing staged work you could set up a bunch of IR flashes for distance. They got a room when leaving B&H for people to unbox and fondle their new gear. If it was a gun store people would want to unbox and start loading up! Still doing post work going through the photos. Lots of post work. These are all shot from the hip with zone focus and zone exposure. Consequently...lots and lots of PP!
  2. RD-1 was what I started with when I moved to digi rangefinders. Could not afford a Leica back then. RD-1 was a very important camera in the evolution of digital cams. But maybe not if you are talking Leica. Epson RD-1s
  3. Live within your budget and keep going. Sell ads as well as advertise the forum. Was the old forum cheaper to run?
  4. Still photographers don't think much about VS. But for cine's film users it is a big problem with acetate film stock. The Vinegar Syndrome Files…5 Year Test Results – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection – II (home.blog)
  5. Been very busy reorganizing all my workspace. I scanned this one from the Archive for you yesterday. Something you may like for your personal collection. From Glendale, CA. No date. I sure wish I had taken some photos in the 1970's at my old camera store in L.A...Pan Pacific Camera. Never occurred to me. You just take them for granted. Then boom...one day they are gone. Happy Holidays to all and thanks for everyone's participation at the forum!
  6. Alan, every monitor is different. Everyone sees them differently. Have you printed anything? Happy with the prints from your scans?
  7. Op...I miss out all the time. But I do ok bringing some home too.
  8. I used a monitor and wireless keyboard with my HP laptop all the time. The monitor, a few years ago, was like $100 at Walmart.
  9. OP...I would generally agree with you. I statred with film in the late 60's. I gave it up in early 2000's. I still work with a ton of film in the Archive. But for my personal work, I'm very happy with digital.

    People , photogs, always like girls and cameras.
  11. An easy area of archival preservation to get into is documenting gallery and museum shows An easy way to contribute material to the Internet Archive...or your blog...and preserve some history in the process.
  12. Just saw this thread. Thanks! Didn't know he died. I will download the video at the I.A. as soon as my upload to the I.A. is done. The internet here is too puny to do both. Always liked Klein's work. He was an early inspiration of mine. Just because anything is online...it doesn't mean it will stay there. Even at the I.A. They had banned me and removed over 100,000 uploads of mine a few years ago. Yes, one of the reasons I became an archivist... Years ago, I was watching a video on photo galleries at lunch. I finished half of it, by lunchtime the next day...poof! YT had pulled the plug. I watched a lot of Klein's films, but I could never find the Ali film.
