I've got a few photography related 16mm films in the Archive. One is a fantastic 16mm salesman's reel on flash photography. (non-Kodak.) This one on paper looks interesting. Hopefully it has some of the paper coating production. It will be a long time before it ever gets scanned. You know the story with trying to get a scanner.

Bob Mizer Ad 1957 Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive / Genderqueer Advertising 'Art-Bob' aka as Bob Mizer was an early publisher of homoerotic material in L.A. starting out in the 50's. He published material under the 'Athletic Model Guild' name. The models in his early publications had a small bikini. The models were nude in his later material. Bob liked to rate his models with his own hieroglyphics of sorts... Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Genderqueer Archive In later publications he would write the code next to the model. Bob Mizer 1970 (Photo cropped) Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Genderqueer Archive I joined a homosexual forum to learn about the codes. Got no help from them, just bashing me as an archivist for asking questions. So, I figured it out for myself. I have a large archive of genderqueer as well as material on blacks. If you run the Peoples' Archive, you need all sorts of material to round things out. I had these collections before homosexuals, trans and blacks became the rage. My Archive is very diverse before the diversity fad was adopted by the politicians. Bob Mizer ONE Archives L.A. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

I'm sorry I didn't save more of computer history from back in the beginning. I got a late start...for me it was the early '80's. Here is what was happening 5 years earlier in July of 1977. Looks to be software was sold in books and you copied the code. Some computer magazine has cheap floppy 33 1/3 records with software on them. I had a modem, albeit a lot smaller than is shown in the photo. Got on Compuserve as my first tast of being online. When I moved to the Rustbelt, it was free Juno dialup...until it got wrecked by too many users. Then it was library internet...and they used ultra slow dial up. It would have been interesting going to the computer shows and events to document them. Couldn't do a thing working with the memory they had back then. These RAMs were in 'K's! They used cassette tapes for storage back then. Back in 1980's L.A. we had Federated Stores with Fred R. Rated (Shadoe Stevens) as the TV spokesman. (Circuit City killed Federated...then Best Buy killed Circuit City.) Internet Photo: Fair Use franklinavenue blogspot It was the early 1980's and the Apple IIe had just come out. I had bought a bootleg 'Pineapple' computer, which was a knockoff of the Apple IIe. I was shopping at the Federated store on La Brea near Melrose buying my computer gear. Later on, I moved over to Circuit City. Dot matrix printers were the printer of the day. They were graded on how well they could hide the dots to not look like a dot matrix printer. Internet? We had CompuServe and BBS bulletin boards. Before BBS / bulletin board forums were going mainstream, we had 'mailing lists' in the early 1980s. People would send in contributions and someone would print out on a dot matrix printer and snail mail to the subscribers. Was never a big computer guy, although I use computers extensively with my work. I just know enough to get by. Was trying to learn more about data storage and joined a group over at Reddit called Data Hoarders. But got banned from Reddit a little but later. Wasn't that big of a loss, I could never understand much of what they were talking about anyway. Crazy kids who couldn't understand why I collect SPAM emails as part of my work. Well, I couldn't understand why they collected the things they did...so we were even! <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D.

I've got about 9 inches of film rental catalogs I'm scanning. One college film rental catalog had a pricing I didn't understand. I asked in the film collectors forums about it and the question was solved. Could not figure out what the 50% was for. Here is the answer... Roy: 50% of the ticket sales. If 50% of the ticket sales = more than $325 the rental company gets the higher amount. Here is some additional info from Steven: Most distributors considered that fee "per showing," if a customer intended multiple screenings on the date requested.Unlike the later homevideo market, non-theatrical 16mm distributors expected that most bookings were not for home use but either for classroom or a private, internal audience. (Such as within your school, company, club, etc. -- but not to be advertised to the broader public.) And yes, if you would be charging admission for your screening, they expected the stated rental amount or the 50%-of-earnings amount, whichever was greater. That was explained within rental catalogues.There were trade-offs involved. The customer/organization would rent titles for use on a specific date, but often (in my experience) the distributor would ship the film(s) to arrive 5-7 days in advance, reducing the chance of late delivery. When I was renting films for my high school and then college film series, that window gave me time to run it privately for myself and multiple friends, often several times, before the official campus screening. The customer was expected to ship a film back the day after official use, retaining proof of having insured it for $400 in case of damage or disappearance in transit.Until the 1990s or early 2000s, a shrinking number of public libraries did offer 16mm inventories of varying size for free use. From many of them you would pick up a print and return it two days later.

Will just put them in this section. Too much work wasting time to see if they get approved to the book section. If they want, they can just move them or put a dupe there. Vast majority are old and deal with vintage subjects. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive Daniel D.

They didn't approve for book section, so putting up here. 2 Kodak books may be of interest to the cinematographer. JPEG scans only. Kodak Professional B&W Films F-5 D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D.

I guess the 1960 yearbook was the high security option as you had to match names and addresses with photos. In the Radcliffe 1918 class book they put the home address and birthdate right next to the senior's photo. Yearbooks are an interesting area of collection. Time capsules so to speak. Same as vintage film. I only have a small collection. Maybe have 25 or so yearbooks in the collection. Generally they are very inexpensive, but bulky. And many times may be suffering from mold issues. If so, you have to microwave them and be careful not to scorch. I like collecting women's schools because they are generally smaller books and like women. Plus, not that many of the colleges to deal with compared to co-ed. Some giant co-ed schools had yearbooks for each class level! You can find lots of yearbook at the Internet Archive, but majority of them are PDF. My contributions there are decent res JPEG's. I prefer JPEG's over PDF.

I don't do much restoring other than contrast / color grading. The film is what it is. If you look at the 6-part series from 'Treasures from American Film Archives,' professional archivists don't do much restoring. My interest is in getting sharp, steady scans and the audio. Here are 2 of the 6 sets... National Film Preservation Foundation: Treasures from American Film Archives National Film Preservation Foundation: More Treasures from American Film Archives Some things are worn from age. Just what it is. Now, if you are marketing a BD-R of a classic film, then go ahead and restore it to make it sell better. I got nothing against restored feature films. But with some of these small gauge films in bad condition...you can only polish a turd so much.

Thats' too bad about the finances with purchasing a Lasergraphics. Always keep up with the hopium. Does not cost much and life can turn on a dime. (Just don't get too drugged up on it!) Maybe more used models will come to market. I'm surprised more have not already. Have you seen many used LG scanners in L.A.? I've only seen 2 on eBay.

''LaserGraphic's software audio extraction is really good.'' Huh?? I recall you had an argument a while back with Perry claiming Lasergraphics had poor audio?? Why the change in heart?

Tired to upvote, but forum blocks me and says I did too much upvoting today...too bad. You should do a blog like Perry did when setting up his scan lab back in the day. Blow by blow sort of thing. From ordering machine to set up, running, etc. Helps promote you and your work as well as add to the base of information on scanners out there. Yes, these scan companies are generally terrible with communication. The FF sales rep for the HDS is OK.

What options are you getting in on your scanner? I had heard they are $50K.

Thanks for the rundown. The FF sales rep is just a few states over from me. I was going to drive there to see the HDS in operation. But he told me he loaned it to someone and they won't give it back. That was some time ago and lost interest in it after Tyler gave his rundown on the HDS. From what I can tell, the HDS seems to be more of a $20k scanner to me...but am no expert.

Thanks Robert. Do you find it is worthwhile for you to still maintain your service contract? I mean, after a while don't you know the score with the machine?
