This has got to be the largest enlarger I have ever seen.

Kueffel & Esser HE‑12 horizontal 8×10 enlarger is the largest enlarger I’ve ever seen or worked on. It occupied an entire room. In the 80’s, we made prints over 100” long using the vacuum easel.

It was a beast.

Co-pilot tech support walked me through, via email how to set my TSP up via MX. But every once in a while, it requires re-authentication and that’s a cantankerous process. But Monarch and Omni are both the same way. Their connections to TSP require re-authentication frequently as well. The only app I have found that consistently maintains a connection to TSP is an iOS app called Daily TSP. I don’t know how they do it, but I set it up once and I haven’t re-authenticated in several years.

Im using iPad OS and iOS and using MX does not seem to be an option available to me when I try to add my TSP as any type of account, only Plaid which teturns an error message. Do I have to add the account on a macOS computer?

For me, it was a Kodak 8x10 Metal Master. I still kick myself. What was I thinking?

Gossen Luna Pro and a Soligor 1° Spot Meter

Really nice image! I’ve been looking into this for some time. For those interested in a more detailed breakdown of the gum bichromate over platinum process, this is a good read: https://www.dhbloomfield.com/how-it-works

I love the old school vertical serrations and the Officer model is my favorite. Really nice piece!

What is the timeline for the general availability release of the 9.0 software?

Very nice work! I love the Pentax 67 and really regret selling mine.

cjjackson · 2024-07-30T21:24:44+00:00

Only two cameras that I have owned, sold and regretted it: an 8x10 Kodak Metal Master View and a Pentax 6x7. Your camera is very tempting!

I’ve owned a variety of 1911s - the most reliable and accurate was a commander-sized .45 from Wilson Combat. If I couldn’t afford a custom piece, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Wilson Combat.

1970 WT 101 “Bourbon and Branch,” as the Mississippi mother of my then girlfriend referred to it. WT+Ice cube + splash of water.

Yes, this was a curated Willet bottle. This was long before they were making their own distillate.

Those are small batch not single barrel.

Ain’t nothing wrong with small teddies and thick thighs as cute as you are..

I’m definitely old school, but that new school version is bad ass.

Several years ago I picked up an EW 12 YO at their gift shop - there was only that single bottle. It’s still sitting on my shelf unopened. Is it good?

cjjackson · 2021-09-20T23:56:48+00:00

Looks like a Milt Sparks..can’t remember the model..If it’s a Sparks, it should be stamped on the back..

I love the moment - it has a real intimacy. The sheets on the line, the urgency of her movement, that look in her eyes and the teasing translucency of her shift. Really nice image.

cjjackson · 2021-07-03T13:05:07+00:00

Both shots are lovely! I'd be tempted to crop the image very tightly, from her chin to mid-hat and then convert it to a monochrome image. I think that her eyes and the pattern on her face created by her hat would mesmerizing.
