This week has been another fruitless week. Still going out and photographing. Once again, having ideas that don’t come to fruition as a idea for a meaningful series. With stress on the word meaningful. A series can be made of anything, “a series of salt grains in my salt shaker, again what would that ‘mean’ ?
Have been experimenting with my Hasselblad 501c, bought a few close up diopters and ordered a 6X9 glass negative holder for my enlarger.

I have been experimenting with some old film that curls very badly and will not remain flat in a regular glassless negative holder. So laded up looking for a negative holder with glass that will press the curled negative flat. However this has problems of it’s own, as it will cause a Moir pattern (Newton rings) on the print, so looked to see if I could find a glass holder that would have anti-newton ring glass in it. I found a few but very expensive around $300 dollars.
I went to trusty old Ebay. Lo and behold, there was one listed starting bid of $200 with reserve. I bid and hit the reserve at $146, and increased it slightly so if anyone else bid I had a margin. Long story short I won the item and now have an anti newton ring glass negative carrier, and will be making some old school analogue printed images shortly.
Іts like yoս read my mind! You appear to know ѕo muⅽh about this,
like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you ϲould
do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this
is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
