Thanks. I have the link to your flickr account bookmarked because it’s blocked here at work. Going to take a look tonight.
eyepenn–I have been looking at your stuff on flickr and it looks great.
Thanks for the tip on the Efke. Kind of expensive, but sounds better than the Ilford alternative.
Totally understood Bob. I wouldn’t sell it either. I never liked the Kodak infrared for the reason you mention. So the Efke is medium format infrared 120? Where do you buy?
I also agree that black and white film and paper will be available in some form or another for a long time but it has been sad to watch my favorite films and papers disappear one by one. On a professional lab tip, do you ever go to Chelsea Photographic? They are amazing.
Sorry Wasder–I plan to eventually use that Konica IR. I suggest trying the Efke–their R-25 and R-50 conventional B&W films are quite good so the IR should be good too and, like the Konica [and UNLIKE Kodak], it’s a slow, fine-grained film.
I’m confident that B&W film and paper will continue to be available, as a niche product, for generations. It’s a bitch though when something you really like gets discontinued. I’m mourning the loss of Forte Polywarmtone paper–I’m on my last box–but I’ll make do with Ilford WT when that’s gone.
Thanks Snark!
Great work, wasder. Truly excellent.
Bob–I’ll buy the Konica off you if you want to sell, although I completely understand if you don’t want to…My real photography continues to be silver based as well. Lets keep it real for future generations Bob!
cobblehillcat—for sure I have (and am) considering it. My music photography is going to be shown in Soho this summer and I am trying to figure out what to do with the Brooklyn and other landscape stuff. If you particularly want to buy something at this point, reach me through here or through the flickr site until I have my point of sale system set up.
