Is it still there? If so, go back with a tripod and take some proper photos. Put them up at the Internet Archive.

The photographer Garry Winogrand used to say...the more I do...the more I do. And that is gospel. For the last couple months, I've been trying to downsize by selling or trashing stuff. I'm getting too old and need to spend more time on health. Facebook had banned me 3 times. But I needed to sell some of this crap, so I made another fake account...just to sell stuff on the Marketplace. While selling on the Marketplace they would keep showing me girls in prom dresses. Eventually that led to The Facebook Marketplace Prom Queen project and that led to the Defaced Prom Queen project. I saw a lot of the defaced prom girls were chubby. I just happened to come across this gal below by chance. Seeing her led to The Plus Size Prom Queen project. So, you can see how fast projects come about for me. Selection from the Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Facebook Marketplace Archives Fair Use She may not even be a prom queen. FB mixes up all sorts of things in their searches. Does not matter, I extended the scope of the project to party and formal dresses as well. It is all part of my Fashion and Hair Archive. I was going to write to her to compliment her on her dress. But I can't take any chances with my FB account. I need it to sell stuff and can't make any more fake ones. You know how women are nowadays. She would complain no doubt if I complimented her. In her sales description she listed the dress as 'just fitting her E-size boobs'. ....GD! Well, I need to get back to work. No more time to think about the E boobs or prom queens. Got lots more organizing to do.

I talked with a young doctor just out of med school for a couple of years. He got a 1/4 million $ job working for the Gov at a V.A. hospital in CA. He said the first few days no one even knew he was to show up and they didn't know what to do with him. The job took 8 months of hoops to jump through to get. His workspace has an issue with the Ethernet cable for the computer. It is so short you have to step over it and it is about waist high. He said you can't use anything that is not approved for security, even a new cable. It may take months to get a proper cable...if at all. GD...I could never do that shit. I'd go out and buy my own, long Ethernet cable the next day. F that. But that's why I don't do good on the job. I don't follow instructions well. Of course, maybe a new cable could have a secret virus in it and destroy everything. So good thing I'm not working for the Gov. Now, some instructions you have to follow. There is a saying with mushroom foragers. There are bold mushroom hunters and there are old mushroom hunters...but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters. In other words, you don't get any second chances if you eat the wrong mushrooms. And with preflight checklist for planes...you check everything twice. But for the rest of the crap, I'm pretty flexible. And in our own sphere of things, we can see what happens on the set when an armorer F ups. With things that don't offer second chances...you do it by the book, or someone may die. <><><><> Selection from Defaced Prom Queens Project Facebook Marketplace Archive DDTJRAC

16mm film in early stages of vinegar syndrome. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive This post is about various tests I've done over the last 5 years looking to halt the progression of and reverse the degradation of film suffering from Vinegar Syndrome. Vinegar Syndrome (VS) is a big problem with acetate cine' film. Maybe 15% to 20% of my cine' film Archive suffers from it in some form. Heat makes acetate film off-gas acetic acid + no ventilation in the sealed film can, for the acetic acid gas to escape = VS. The films then start to shrink and buckle. They become brittle, emulsion can flake off and in extreme cases solidify into a blob. If you want to allow for ventilation with film storage, get vented film cans. The only surefire way to halt the progression of VS is to vacuum seal the film and freeze it subzero. Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. Screenshot Google image search: D.D. Teoli Jr. Chest freezers are an economical way to buy freezer space. You can get a 5 cubic foot model for about $180. Or for $800 you can buy one big enough to hold 3 or 4 human bodies. 16mm humidor film can Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Back in the day, they had humidor film cans. They had an absorbent material in the center to add water or chemicals to. Originally, they were made for water humidity. Later on, film users used various chemicals to try and preserve the film, such as camphor or from the smell of it, some type of naphthalene. Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Vaporate - Peerless Film Treatment was a commercial treatment done to film to protect it from deterioration due to handling. I've only seen one example of Vaporate. That sample showed no deterioration from VS. But, being I've only seen one sample of Vaporate, there was not enough confirmation to draw any conclusions.

Teoli Jr. The tests I ran for Vitafilm & Film Renew covered 5 years using Kodachrome and B&W stock suffering from VS. Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. Here were some of the tests I conducted on 16mm films. All aging was done in a tape sealed film can to maximize absorption and slow the evaporation process. Some films were reverse wound during the soaking and aging process, others were not. Reverse winding didn't make a whole lot of difference once it was returned to normal wind. A few of the tests were not aged and just wiped down after treatment. Most of the testing was done with black and white film stock, although I did test a number of Kodachrome reels suffering from VS to see if there was any difference in results. List of Tests: Generous application of Vitafilm or Film Renew and aged 1 month. Soaked 1 hour in Vitafilm or Film Renew and wiped down. Soaked 1 day in Vitafilm or Film Renew and wiped down. Soaked 1 day in Vitafilm or Film Renew, drip dried and aged 1 month. Soaked 3 days in Vitafilm or Film Renew, drip dried and aged 2 months. Soaked 1 week in Vitafilm or Film Renew, drip dried and aged 3 months. Soaked 1 month in Vitafilm or Film Renew, drip dried and aged 6 months. Soaked 3 months in Vitafilm or Film Renew, drip dried and aged 2 years. Soaked 6 months in Vitafilm, drip dried and aged 4 years. Then it was soaked again for 2 days and aged another year for a total of 5 years aging. (Vitafilm tested only.) Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. Irrespective of color or black and white film stock, none of the treatments I did fixed the film shrinking and warping. They may have halted the VS decay, but I can't attest to that one way or another, since it will take a few decades to determine if that is the case. The vinegar smell was replaced by a chemical smell and no further deterioration was noticed after the treatment. That is all I can say. Below are the results of the multi-soak 5-year test with Vitafilm. Before treatment Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. Same film as above after soaking in Vitafilm for 6 months. It was drip dried and aged 4 years. Then it was soaked again for 2 days and aged another year for a total of 5 years aging. Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. A-D test strips give you an objective method to test for VS. Photo: NYC Department of Records & Information Services Photo used under auspices of Fair Use. Background shows dirt on just a few feet of film using Film Renew as a cleaning agent. Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. Irrespective of whether there is any halting of the VS from Film Renew or Vitafilm treatments; they both are excellent cleaners and lubricators for film. There is no comparison with the cleaning action you get with slow drying Film Renew compared to a fast-drying cleaner like Edwal that leaves a lot of the dirt behind. Fast drying cleaners evaporate before they get all the dirt. They also do not offer any lubrication if you are projecting a film. I cannot attest to the long-term archival effects of using film cleaners. That will have to be revisited a few decades from now. Photo: D.D. Teoli Jr. <><><><> Camera Store - Glendale, CA Daniel D.

Never heard from Borrowdale or the person replying earlier. Yes, I had a few questions.... I was wondering what that big box behind the operator was used for. I had worked with many process cameras in the 70's, but none as big as this nor did any have a box on them. The process cameras we used stopped at the vacuum holder / ground glass in the darkroom. I was wondering if the box was used for storing boxes of film or halftone screens or? And why 2 backs to the camera? What is sliding up and down on the pole to the right of the operator? I was hoping to hear from Borrowdale to see if he had any ephemera, he could donate copies of to the Internet Archive via my Archive on Graphic Arts. Or maybe get some audio oral history recorded on the backstory on how it all came about. There is something that irritates me when all these things are lost to history and you can't get answers.

I think it is a new trend now. You know the equity, justice and reparations trend to perfect our world. https://observer.com/2022/12/pope-francis-orders-the-return-of-the-vaticans-collection-of-parthenon-marbles-to-greece/? British Museum: In response to reports surrounding the meeting, the museum said that while it’s seeking a new and positive partnership with Greece, the objects likely won’t be returned anytime soon. “We operate within the law and we’re not going to dismantle our great collection as it tells a unique story of our common humanity,” said the British Museum in a statement. L.A. Natural History Museum Internet Photo - Fair Use In the 1990's I was talking with a curator at the L.A. Natural History Museum. I was trying to track down some shrunken heads I had heard they had in their collection. They would not even admit to having them. The curator said if it got out they had them, the Indians in South America would try to get them back...or some such thing. In the 1980's the L.A. Natural History Museum had on permanent display an American Indian mummy. But that was taken down long ago. I wish I had taken photos of the mummy. It was fantastic mummy and had on buckskins and Indian beads. You can't find a photo of it anywhere. It was the same deal. They could not display it, or the Indians would want it back. Shrunken heads are an interesting area of study DDTJRAC I'm thinking more and more history will be repatriated over time. One Director may say no, the next Director will say yes. The example of the Pope sums it up. So, if there is some controversial art of historical object in your local, document it. One day it may be gone. If Peak Oil hits, you may not be able to travel inexpensively to see it again. ...Personally, I'm not for repatriation of art of history. Unless you are talking about the type of repatriation dealing with the NAZI's of WW2 or similar type of thing. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

There is a lady professor at Notre Dame that I could ask about the fashions. She teaches fashion history or some such thing. But you have to pay a consulting fee for every inquiry. I wrote to a curator at a Black museum about some questions I had relating to early sheet music. He told me to buy his book as an answer. So good to have forums to bounce things off of.

Been very busy trying to clean up and reorganize my workspaces / life. I'm like a Japanese person living in Tokyo...every square inch of new space I can get counts. So have been neglecting my forums. I've been working on the camera store photo collection and found this one. What is your estimate as to date?

This movie blends film and digital and does a great job of it. OP...people should use what they want to use...if they can afford it. The problem some people have is they force things. They will demand film and can't afford it. Or they force the use of film due to being ego based and film does a subpar job. So, the project suffers or does not get done at all due to their ego. <><><><> 1973 Main Street. L.A. D.D.Teoli Jr. (Can't photo kids like this nowadays...better not be caught!)

I was complaining about Windows forced updates and how they screwed up my computer to someone. He suggested I use Linux. Can you run Windows based software with Linux? When I went to Windows 11, some of my Epson scanning software didn't work right. Their fix was hit the Alt key. It works...half-ass. I'm thinking if the Windows software doesn't work right with Windows 11, how can it work with Linux? What do you think about Linux? All my software is for Windows. I don't really know, but I think Linux is for people that write code and make their own programs.

That is something, USC going into the digitalization business. You'd figure they make enough $$ from the tuition. I didn't see them selling any hardware. Looks like smaller isntiuions may be interested in farming out their digital scanning / sotrage. This is interesting... We are able to ingest digital files online, on hard drives, or from digital media such as LTO tapes.

Not sure how the Film-Guard works. Is the film running through a solution before scanning on the Lasergraphics?

What is wrong with the vertical design? Does the film scan better on cores?

I had read the rollers in the HDS+ are a sticky type that catch the dust and dirt and need replacing once in a while. Have you had any issue replacing? You mentioned a loss of faith in the machine. What caused that?
