Old photo receipts book
[posted at 09:50 GMT]    

While browsing through old books and cleaning a bit, I have found my old book containing receipts for developer, fixers and another chemicals stuff you need for analog photography. It is very old small book published 1956. I remember I have bought it when I was around 14 in second hand book store. As I browse through it I have found one receipt I was using that time. It is for developer called Windisch Pyrocatechin. I have look on Internet and have found this page where they describe modified version of this developer. What I remember is that this developer has extremely good compensating effect. I use it with films of 50-100ASA about 25 years ago. It is a long time isn't it?

It is a sometimes scary how time is flying. You turn and 25 years is gone. But there is still some time ahead. So let's use it as best we can.

Two prints on eBay
[posted at 20:39 GMT]    

So after almost all day of researching checking and preparing I have put my first two prints on eBay auction. You have now chance to get two of my best prints for a very little money. I have put start price to 9.99US$. Which is far bellow my production price only for materials not counting work and time. I take this as a experiment to see if I can at all sell on eBay and also what price are people accepting. Now time is ticking there is less than seven days until the end of this experiment. So please here are the links:
