Lost in storage. She is inspecting an assault rifle with the military. Looked all over for it. Last time I saw it was 2 years ago when working in the storage locker. Now poof! Well, here is one from 1967 by Yousuf Karsh... Queen Elizabeth II April 21, 1926 - September 8, 2022 DDTJRAC

Was working on a job scanning 3,500 pages of old Sotheby's photo auction catalogs. Came across this on-set photo in a 1999 catalog and thought of you all.

Been searching for months trying to get a basic work computer built. I tried to contact this company for some questions and look what I get...

I had bought a couple of these books from Japan on eBay. They look like they are a book of odd or funny photos they find on the internet or somewhere else. Are they common / popular in Japan? Is there a name for this book or genre of books? What can you tell me about them? They are about 5 x 7 inches and +/- 250 pages. Some of the photos are (R) sex oriented, others are not. I will eventually upload to the I.A. in higher res. There are girly ads in the beginning and at the end of the book, but the rest of the book are all photos. The first photo, which is the cover, is a good representation of the photo mix in the book. Getting back to the girly ads...what are they about? Thanks!

I had never heard of the magazine until I started on a project in 2021 to archive eBay's 'adult only' section, which they were shutting down on June 15, 2021. eBay routinely had about 800,000 listings in their adult only section. I was only able to review about 10% of them for the project. I didn't get much notice and I only had a few weeks to do the work; but eventually I was able to archive about 27,000 photos and screenshots for the eBay Adult Only project. A couple days before eBay was going to pull the plug to shut things down, I came across the Sex to Sexty magazines. I didn't have much time to screw around, but I could see it needed some archiving attention. So, I made a deal with a couple of sellers and picked up an instant mini-collection of 28 magazines for a few dollars per magazine. I just finished scanning the magazines, which totaled about 2000 scans. Very interesting going back to the late 60's and early 70's. Humor had no bounds back then. I am uploading them to the Internet Archive if they are of interest to you. <><><><> Press photo of Weegee being dropped out with white opaque. Internet photo: Fair Use

Such as fades, titles, stabilizations, color work and such. Nothing fancy.

People call it whatever they like. Sometimes you get a mix of golden and blue hour as in this photo I shot for my Bikers' Mardi Gras project. Other times it is heavy golden or all blue. Photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. (Candid) None of that really matters, as far as what you call it. Shoot early AM and you get nice color. Shoot at sunset and you get nice color. That is all you need to know. My advice...if a certain look is important to you; do some test shoots in the early AM and sunset then you can get an idea of what you will get. But no matter how you slice it...it is a crapshoot as natural lighting is not repeatable. If you desire a certain look and can't get it, then pay for some colorist to doctor it up.

1952 Christmas commercial from early days of T.V. Jewelite Hairbrush Commercial Christmas 1952 : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Some interesting history from TV's early days... 1949: In January, the number of TV stations had grown to 98 in 58 market areas. 1949: The FCC adopted the Fairness Doctrine, which made broadcasters responsible for seeking out and presenting all sides of an issue when covering controversy. This act was a supplement to the Communications Act of 1934, which required broadcasters to give equal airtime to candidates running in elections. 1951: I Love Lucy, sponsored by Philip Morris, was born. The half-hour sitcom ranked as the number one program in the nation for four of its first six full seasons. 1951: On June 21, CBS broadcasted the first color program. As mentioned above, CBS’s color system only worked with a small number of TVs across America. Only 12 customers across America could see the first color TV broadcast. 12 million other TVs were blank for this program. 1952: Bob Hope takes his comedy from radio to TV as The Bob Hope Show debuts in October, 1952. 1952: By the end of 1952, TVs could be found in 20 million households across America, a rise of 33% from the previous year. U.S. advertisers spent a total of $288 million on television advertising time, an increase of 38.8% from 1951. 1953: RCA releases its color broadcasting system, which worked on 12 million TVs instead of 12. 1954: NBC launches The Tonight Show with comedian Steve Allen. 1955: Gunsmoke, the classic western TV show, began its 20 year run on CBS. 1958: 525 cable TV systems across America serve 450,000 subscribers. In response, CBS takes out a two page advertisement in TV Guide stating that “Free television as we know it cannot survive alongside pay television.” History of the Television | From The 1800s To Current Time (bebusinessed.com)

Here are a few more clips of Riefenstahl's work. Have maybe another 3 - 5 clips to do. Internet Archive Search: Leni Riefenstahl Teoli I guess there was some controversy over Riefenstahl's work. Some critics saying it is only propaganda and not documentary. Well, it can be both. It is a propaganda film that has documentary and historical value as well. I never get caught into those debates. Almost any record we have going back in time has historical value. Years ago, on a photo forum, they were debating whether it was good shooting photos of atrocities for fun like the Nazis sometimes did. They discussed something like it depended on the person's motives or if they had a 'good' heart, as to whether they would give their blessings to it. Or in later years like some people do now on the internet broadcasting gore. Well, good heart or motive has nothing to do with it. The material is all part of history, and the historical record does not need approval from anyone nor does the creator of the material need a good heart to make it of historical importance. The motives and heart are all separate issue, unless it is all a lie. But even if a lie, it can still have documentary value for the parts that are true.

Every country pronounces thing differently. I think Japan is Nippon...but not sure. It is hard to know all the facts unless you are a native. And things change over time due to social mores. For instance, the Laplanders, I've read, now take offense to the name. And I've been told Eskimo is an offensive word now. Internet: Both Nippon and Nihon literally mean "the sun's origin", that is, where the sun originates, and are often translated as the Land of the Rising Sun. This nomenclature comes from Imperial correspondence with the Chinese Sui Dynasty and refers to Japan's eastern position relative to China. The origin of the name Japan is not certain, but researchers say it probably came from the Malayan ″Japung″ or the Chinese ″Riben,″ meaning roughly land of the rising sun. Historians say the Japanese called their country Yamato in its early history, and they began using Nippon around the seventh century.

Leni Riefenstahl was quite a gal. Talented in many areas as well as sports. She was a pig part of Hitler's propaganda movie machine. I have a couple of 16mm reels that I believe were part of her films. But I don't know which films they were from. Haven't dug that deep yet, they are still in storage. In this clip from 'Triumph des Willens' aka 'Triumph of the Will' 1935 by Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler arrives by plane to a triumphant greeting from the people of Germany. Hitler Arrives in Nuremberg 1934 Leni Riefenstahl : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive When you look around Nuremberg, think back how 95% of it was destroyed a few years later in WW2. Also notice some of the unique camera angles, the use of the plane shadow and close ups of people's faces that Riefenstahl used. I will cut up some more clips from the film when I get time.

Kodak (Mexico?) Inkjet Paper Deterioration See yellowing edge of paper compared to white paper. The entire sheet of Kodak paper has yellow blotchiness. The edge is the easiest way to see the yellowing in a photo. If you have a laptop or unbalanced monitor, you may not be able to see the yellowing. This was Kodak's cheapest paper at the time. From what I recall, the paper was made in Mexico. Paper shown here is 10 years old, stored under normal household conditions. It started to show yellowing about 3 to 4 years ago. All of the rest of this Kodak paper shows the same yellowing. It is hard to get a good photo or scan of the yellowing, but it is easily detected by looking at it under 5,000k lighting. A couple of other major photo paper makers also suffered from yellowing of their cheapest brand of inkjet paper. I didn't record the maker's names. I didn't purchase this paper to print on. I didn't purchase this paper to do archival testing. All these papers were purchased to use as interleaf while printing artist books with an inkjet printer. Unless interleaf was used while printing, the pages would transfer freshly printed ink to the page stacked on it. This was a big problem when using matte black ink, but not a problem with gloss black ink. RC gloss or RC semi-gloss inkjet paper worked best as interleaf as it did not accept any ink transference on the RC coated verso of the paper. <><><><> Daniel D.

Do people even use Steenbecks anymore? I mean somewhat mainstream use and not the odd filmmaker?

Mark, you should compete with the Cinema Museum. If you find any good paper ephemera to scan in the USA, have it shipped to me and I will scan for you and put up at the I.A. I can also give you hi-res scans. Or if you find things in the U.K., buy them to scan yourself. There is so, so much great stuff in the U.K. to get, but shipping breaks the deal for me. You can open up your own online cinema museum Mark.

White on one side of the reel where the tape has been applied. And nothing on the other side of the reel. Some reels have a huge amount of repair. Looks like the tape picks up lots of hairs and debris over time. Photos - Scans by D.D.Teoli Jr. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

OP...you gotta test them. If you like the results...you have your answer. No one can answer this but yourself. Assuming you like the color match, there are many other factors and variables involved such as the quality of post work, depth of field and I.Q. Test em all!

DDTJRAC - VHS / Betamax Archive After seeing Top Gun: Maverick, I went back to the original Top Gun to refresh my memory. The DVD has a great commentary about the 1986 film. Art Scholl, aerial cameramen, died shooting it. Cruise is 5' 7" and Mcgillis is 5'10" (They said she was 6 feet tall in the commentary. Maybe that was in heels.) They had to work to shrink her down and extend Cruise up. He had special cowboy boots to give him a raise.

Was working with the Advertising Archive. Ran across some 1962 shots from the making of Lawrence of Arabia in Life magazine. Lots of sand sweeping when shooting in the desert! I thought this guy was the sound man. But it may be a light. The guy in the hole was supposed to be caught in quicksand.

Well, I'm not going to take someone's money, just to sit on it and do nothing. That isn't right. I would have gladly bought a HDS+ or a Lasergraphics Archivist with her $$ . But, both companies have problems, and I don't want to take the money under false pretenses. Lasergraphics refuses to answer emails, and I won't send that type of $$ to a company that can't be bothered to answer emails. If I still lived in L.A. I could drive down there and bang on the door until they talk with me. If the scanner broke, I could drop it off for repairs to avoid a $7,500 service call that I don't have the $7,500 for. But being on the other side of the country, that won't work. Companies nowadays are pretty shitty to deal with. And it is not just scanner companies. You'd figure Lasergaphics would hire an illegal alien to come in a couple days a week to answer their emails. Tyler's report on the HDS+ was very troubling. I need something that works out of the box and is fairly easy to run. If Tyler has trouble working it...I'd be sunk! In addition, there are the sound sync problems with the HDS+ and the need for a warped film gate. About 75% of my film Archive is warped! From his report the company doesn't know what he is talking about or doesn't care when he brings it up to them...all very, very troubling for $50K. Believe me, I was ecstatic about the possibility of getting a HDS+ until I found out about all these problems. Also, Tyler mentioned image quality is somewhat subpar. The scans should be crisp...no sleepiness to the scan. This isn't a $300 Wolverine scanner. She felt bad too about this mess. I kept telling her scanners are not like buying cars or refrigerators and the companies are really terrible to deal with. She did buy me 1,000 4.7GB M-Disc for the VHS Archive as a donation and I was very happy about that. I stopped buying M-Disc after they raised the price from $2.10 to $3.15 per disc. I mean, sure, I can afford a $3.15 disc...but I can't afford $3,150.00 of M-Discs. Everything has skyrocketed in $$! Those 1,000 M-Disc have helped take a chunk out of the VHS tapes that have been sitting and building up. Anyway, I'm slowly getting out of cine' film and will just stick with still photography, audio, popular culture and VHS. I've sold off about 15% of the 16mm film Archive and 40% of the 8mm Archive. I was never really into 8mm. At the height I only had maybe 700 - 800 8mm films. I hate 8mm. I'm down to about 2,000 - 2100 16mm reels. Still need to finish the inventory to see what I got. I may get rid of most of the 16mm as well down the road, but I am still working on the VHS Archive digitizing tapes and burning her discs. When I get to finishing the 16mm inventory...I will get to it. I don't care anymore. Well, I keep buying lotto tickets here and there. If I can hit, even a small lotto I may buy an Arri scan. But who knows? It may not run warped film. But...at least they do answer their emails! You know, if you got millions, it does not matter if the HDS+ is crap or the Lasergraphics has issues or what the Arriscan cost. You can buy 5 of each to sort it out...$$ just does not matter to you. But if you don't have the $$...then working with cine' film, the digitization part, is a real nightmare for the broke archivist. As a plan B, I still got the Retroscan. I've been trying to get a cheap custom computer built so I can do some image stabilization with the Retroscan scans. The Retroscan would be doable (just) for silent film, especially black edge films, if the films can be stabilized. But my computer is crap and overheats under any little video job. And guess what? Almost none of the custom computer companies will answer their emails. I sent them all the specs upfront. Just basic stuff, nothing crazy. Well, a couple companies did answer. One wanted $5,000 to build one. Another one wrote back promptly. They said they would give me a quote in a day or so. That was a month ago.

DDTJRAC Advertising Archive Here is an ad from Woman's Day Magazine in 1946. Even after WWII ended, they were still rationing food. I like this type of material for the Archive. It covers two areas for the price on one...it fits the Advertising Collection and the WWII Rationing Collection. WWII rationing is a fascinating area to study. It was hard to piece the puzzle back together as a lot of the people in the know are dead and no one to ask. So many things were unavailable back then. Let's say you were a writer. If you wanted a typewriter you got on a list for one, you couldn't just go out and buy one. Typewriter companies retooled to build war equipment. The gov even asked for used typewriters to be donated to the war effort. Really, it was pretty complex learning the rationing rules. And the rules constantly changed. They also had ration token for making change for coupons. These tokens belonged to Sylvia Schneider from NYC. They were in a little purse she had that I acquired off eBay. After she died, the pickers got ahold of it for recycling. GD...the pickers will sell anything! Even dirty, empty bottles of old lens cleaning fluid! The troublesome area of the puzzle to put together was to find out what the tanks, planes, artillery and ship coupons were used for. Eventually I found out the answer to my puzzle. They announced what these stamps would be used for in the newspaper or on the radio for various short term uses. I have a press photo of one of the weekly announcements, but have not got it scanned as yet. It is buried in the storage locker for now. <><><><> Memes Archive Part of the Daniel D.

Here are how the 2 rogues gallery glass plates ended up. Way above my budget.

Selection from: DDTJRAC Years ago, I was lucky to run across a wealthy collector in Europe of early erotic stereo cards. The early erotic cards are almost impossible to find and unaffordable to buy even if you do find them. He sold me a large part of his collection in the form of decent quality copy photos. He didn't want to sell me scans, but the copy photos were next to nothing. Really, I just had to pay for the cost of printing and shipping. I also acquired a huge amount of rare non-erotic card copy photos from him as well. Below are just a very few samples from the hundreds I had acquired from him. Vintage Stereo Photography – Vintage Stereo Photography from the Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection / Walter Stein Archive (wordpress.com) I don't have time to get them all up right now, but I was able to put up a decent portion of them. I kinda lost interest in blogs after Tumblr deleted many years of my work, trashing 48 of my websites in 2019. Then the Internet Archive deleted my account of over a hundred thousand uploads. Later on, the I.A. restored my account...but it was just by happenstance that it was saved. The ******** in Frisco would do nothing for me. I'm not going to post the explicit porn cards. Go to the link if you are a lecher and have an interest in them. (BTW, a lecher is better than a pervert...so don't be ashamed!) But these explicit stereo porn cards are the rarest of the rare in stereo cards. And he had an unbelievable collection of them! Donna Mae 'Busty' Brown I found that people go crazy when you work in the old cameras into a scene. Something you may want to do with your cine' work. This guy had some stupendous cards. It is nice to be rich! If I was your run of the mill, anal bastard curator that runs an Archive, I would have missed out on this fantastic collection. I had contacted an Archive awhile back and offered to donate a copy of 'Splitting the Difference' which was the cover photo I used in my artist's book Iconoclastic Reporter. The snobby bastard there said they only collect original photos. Hell, I don't even have the original photo of 'Splitting the Difference'. But that didn't stop me from using what I could get. So, I acquired a copy photo from the original photo from a collector and used that. And it worked fine enough for other Archives to acquire it into their collections...but not that one. This all comes under the auspices of...something is better than nothing. But anal bastards don't see it that way. Let me give you another example of how your run of the mill, anal curator works. I had contacted a curator at an institution that was new to the job to inquire if they were interested in any donations. They said they are on a self-imposed acquisition moratorium of 18 months so they can study the collection before new acquisitions are made. GD...that is anal! I would start acquiring before my first day at work! But I'm an ADD curator and not an anal one. Now...if something is too low Q, then I may pass on it. I always tell you I have no prejudice in my collecting - except low-res garbage. And as I mentioned in another post, sometimes I won't sign my name to a project if it is crap and I don't want to be associated with it. But I try to stay away from that type of work unless it is absolutely necessary to a project. Every time you see the garbage it is an eyesore and an embarrassment, but you sometimes need it to round out the story. As was the case in this project. I included low-res garbage in the beginning to round out the story. And every time I see it, I cringe! Internet Archive Search: china doll teoli Getting back to the anal bastard curator that snubbed me...they wouldn't even let me look at their Archive...the NYC hi-brow shits. I run The Peoples' Archive. It is the highest quality, most diverse, open content Archive in the world. Now, it is not the richest or the biggest or the best Archive in the world. But it is the highest quality, most diverse, open content Archive of its type in the world. As an example. This rich Euro collector had a fantastic stereo collection that I could never hope to approach...but that is about it for him. Whereas I have hundreds of areas of collection. Virginia 'Ding Dong' Bell Beside copy photos and digital files, I've got a large number of physical stereo cards in the Archive as well as more modern stereo slides and glass mounts. Here is a sample glass mount from 'Erwin the Duck Hunter' series from Nebraska.
