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.

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?

That is something! You work I like I do or I work like you do...whatever! Space, $ and time are always an issue. Although with $ you can buy space and time. What is a pressurized vessel? Send in photos. What do you use 3D printing for? I don't care how you slice it, living in L.A. is $$. What is the scoop on the new FilmFabriek model? Will it do sound?

So, what scanner / setup do you use for heavily warped film Robert and Perry?

Nice! Did you find anything that could be improved on it Tyler? Thanks

Yes, that is what it is like. Every day is like Christmas when you dive into film...generally speaking. Although some days it is just heartbreak when you find your lot of 37 pig in a poke films are all crap. Some film collectors lump all their junk together and sell it on eBay as 'unviewed / unknown content.' Same with pig in a poke reel to reel audio purchases. Rapid City? That's one of the hundreds of areas I collect in, plus other dinosaur roadside attractions across America. https://archive.org/download/DinosaurHuntersD.D.TeoliJr.A.C.1/Dinosaur Hunters D.D.

Adjustable tension sounds good! Any drawbacks to lower tension scans? I've found you get some breakage with film in poor condition. Just part of the deal with decomposed film. I just spice it together again. Old or poorly done glue splices can give way. It is not the end of the world...unless the film keeps breaking every few inches or feet. It would be interesting to see what the archivists do with film that can't be scanned due to condition. I had a reel or two of that type of film. I was planning on using a copy stand to take individual photos of each frame held in a film carrier for an enlarger. But it is terribly time consuming. I will probably settle on taking sample photos every few feet to give a taste of the film in stills.

Yes, Retroscan pretty much is the only choice for 16mm on a low budget. 8mm is generally crap to deal with. With amateurs, they generally progress to 16mm after a little time...if they are serious So, when you acquire a 'pig in a poke' 16mm you have a better chance of getting something useable as opposed to 8mm. Sure, there is no guarantee, there is plenty of 16mm garbage. But you have to give it your best shot when buying blind film from pickers. Even so, 8mm is just crappy compared to 16mm in image resolution. Another sign of something may be good is when the home movies are spiced up on 400 or 800 foot reels. Shows some sophistication over a 50-foot 8mm or 16mm reel. No, I'd never scan for $ and work on crap I don't like. Film is just one of the hundreds of areas I work in, although it is probably the biggest area of interest for me. I don't want a job as a film scanner...I just want to get scans of my films. Just as I don't want a job binding books, running a copy stand or doing post processing. I just do it because I have to. Now, when health was better, I liked pounding the pavement to do documentary photography. But that was about it for things I'd liked to do for $. I got into film scanning because of cost and the fact that the commercial scanners won't scan some of my films due to censorship / legal issues. So, it was a combination of reasons. Even if rich, and I could pay $1 a foot for good quality timed scans, I'd still have to get a scanner to scan the films the commercial scanners won't touch. Now if someone wanted to pay me to run the Peoples' Archive, sure I'd take the money. Money is stored energy, got nothing against it, it is good to have lots of energy. But $ wouldn't change the areas I work in. If they wanted to force me to work in areas, I didn't like...I'd say no. I got too much of my own work to do and I only work in areas that are interesting as hell to me. In the past I have offered to scan film for people for free...if they share the scans. But no one ever does. So, I tell them...go pay someone then. And from what I can tell, it is not about offering them 2K or 4K scans. They just except me to work for free and get nothing in return...be it 2k or 4K. Never found the Retroscan to damage my films. What is your claim on damage? Do you have any before and after photos? I've only scanned maybe 125 films with it. No use scanning thousands of films with it, only to scan them all again with 4K, which is my goal. Now, you hear a lot of crinkle noises when running really bad warped film though the Retroscan. Maybe if you keep running the same badly warped film through it, the film may crack. The Retroscan was good to more or less to get my feet wet with cine' film scanning. I've done hundreds of thousands of scans with flatbed and sheet fed scanners. So, I know my way around them pretty well. But flatbed scanning is not cine' film scanning, just as still photography is not the same as shooting cine' film.

I've got some press photos of kids from the 1940's. Right on the verso they give the kids home address. Don't have scan done or would post them. But here is a similar example... From 'Bryn Mawr Yearbook' 1960. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Advertising Archive Daniel D.

Very good article...Thanks! Had no idea heat was the enemy of SDD. I know heat and light can destroy AZO dye DVD's. 2 Silver AZO DVD's Top disc was in sunlight and heat for 30 days. Bottom disc was in dark storage. Top disc was unreadable. Every 6 to 7 years I rewrite HDD drives as they are said to lose magnetism. I've torture tested HDD's in hot and cold extremes. Results of 2 Year Hot / Cold Western Digital HDD Torture Test – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection – II (home.blog) 2-year hot cold extreme test. - No data loss and still running strong! I'm not shy about cooking certain things to test em. But SDD's are a little too $$ to cook. I could heat treat some thumb drives, but getting too old, health is going downhill and still have many lifetimes of work to do. So, someone else will have to test that part of the archival spectrum. Cooking the M-Disc test. NOTHING can compare to the ‘M’ disk when it comes to optical media for digital preservation. – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection – II (home.blog)

I thought I'd be done by now with optical media stress tests. But Smartbuy BD-R and Ridata BD-R proved to be better than I thought. You never know about these things. Memorex BD-R proved to be one of the worst and you would think it would be among the best! I have to update the article, but addendum test results are here below. Here are previous BD-R stress tests. Blu-ray Discs …they are not all the same. – Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection – II (home.blog) Memorex BD-R 25GB single layer 6x. Tested twice. Both tests failed within 30 days of sun. Smartbuy BD-R 25GB 1-6X. Passed 2 months of sun and tests are ongoing. Ridata BD-R 25GB 6x. Passed 2 months of sun and tests are ongoing. None of the BD-R I've tested have been interim champs. In other words, they die within a month of sun or will last a year of sun; so it will be interesting to see what these 2 discs can actually take. If you have Memorex BD-R, I would not use them for archival work. Personally, I use the remaining stock I have for temp work only. <><><><> Reel People Film ad 1983 Selection from Daniel D.
