jnanian Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 you can never remember top "left is okay" and load all your film upside down. you have no idea what film was loaded in what holders since all the stickies you put on the film holders fell off in the humidity. your film keeps sticking together (humidity again) and you double load all your film holders. -john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 The less you worry about whether you've loaded film correctly, the greater the chance will be that you did indeed load it backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_kasaian1 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 OK: Life time warranties only apply to the original owner of the tripod The only rattlesnakes above 9,000 feet are the ones who didn't read the guidebook that said there are no rattlesnakes above 9,000 feet The day you'll run out of film is always the day before your day off, and where you live, film is only available mail order If you use seemless background paper to shoot babies, babies will pee on it. Your favorite lens will be lethally radio active Your favorite lens just developed fungus Your favorite developer will be classified by the United Nations as a weapon of mass destruction Your favorite printing paper has just been discontinued If you let a passing kid take a look at the ground glass they will sneeze and blow thier nose in your dark cloth. If you shoot in a city, you'll run into the only Cop on the police force who knows that tripod permits are required. If you shoot in a city where no tripod permit is required, you'll run into the only cop on the police force who thinks a tripod permit is required. .......Fresno??

jorge_gasteazoro4 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Sorry for the little nitpick John, but if the favorite lens is lethally radioactive, it wont develop fungus...:-)..hey thank God for small favors...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_feldman2 Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 WOW! You guys are great. Thanks to all contributors. Most of the "mistakes" listed I've done . . . at least twice (that I'll admit to). If anyone wants a compiled version of all of the above Murphy's Laws, just drop me an e-mail. I've put it together in a WORD document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk_arts Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 If you decide to use the digital darkroom, do not expect the traditional darkroom will ever work for you again. Enlargers are jealous creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
