Stop a moment and think of Geoff Boyle...

https://www.google.com/search?q=geoff+boyle&client=tablet-android-samsung-nf-rev1&prmd=nivx&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjD8Oeh-oT0AhXMmmoFHWnSCu0Q_AUoAnoECAIQAg I hope he made an effort to preserve his Archive...online, open content and hi res. Many people donate collections to institutions and that is that. Hardly anybody will ever see it again. I never knew him. So I have no connection with him or knew of his work. But let me say this... 1) A lot of us are getting old. You got archival material that needs to be preserved, you have no one to preserve it with or know who to leave it to? Leave it to me. I will scan it, put it online and find an appropriate institution to place it with. (As a donation.) I have massive experience in this area. The only catch is; I like photos, video / film, audio. I'm not much for text. But I do preserve text as long as the entire Archive is nothing but text. 2) If you are old, or young, got nothing to do with your money and want to invest in underground and above ground film preservation. Leave me enough to buy a cheap Lasergraphics film scanner. I'd be glad to memorialize your name on the work I produce in the Archive. I get millions of eyeballs per year looking at my work and also for memorializing you. But, Google me first, you many not want to be associated with the Archive and wish to remain anonymous. 3) For the rest of you that don't want to leave me your Archive to preserve or help me buy a scanner, that is OK. But think about what I've told you over the years about the importance of archival preservation. This guy seemed to have some time to make arrangements before he died. We are not all that lucky. One day you won't wake up and that will be that. Your stuff may end up being grabbed by pickers to split up on eBay or it may end up in the nearest dumpster. Just no telling unless you have made arrangements for it. But...one thing is for sure... Whatever you got in your head will be gone. Oral history, video / film history, written history...get it down before it is too late. ...one day, you just won't wake up again. -

95 and 105mm Printing Nikkor Lens Service?

Yes, very different. eBay has a couple. Very pricey. Can you adapt something else for your use? -
Agfa color print fade test example
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. replied to Daniel D. Teoli Jr.'s topic in Off Topic
Yes, some of the old 1955 dye transfers did ok in the dark over 55 years. Some early Agfa (1970's) faded in the dark over decades. -
No never herd of Mark. Why does YouTube do better than Hollywood? (Or is Georgia the 'go to' place now?) Well, I don't blame The Rock. He has a great life, he does not want to take chances. As far as the armorer with Baldwin. I didn't study her up that much. But from what I saw she looked like an accident waiting to happen. It seemed with her on the job it was not a question of if, it was only a question of when.

Agfa color print sun test. 1/2 in dark storage 1/2 in sun for 6 months. I am finishing up Edition II of Dye Stability Testing of Color Imaging Media. I always have a hard time with sun tests because I'm in the NE USA and I can only sun test for about 6 months and that is pushing it. It is not like CA with loads of sun. Sometimes the sun does not come out for a few days and it is gloomy. In the winter the sun may not come out for a week! I've got almost everything tested except for a 1 year Eastman Kodak Dye Transfer sun test. It has 6 months of sun and will need another 6 months in 2022. Kodak improved greatly over the years with the color stability of the dyes it used for Dye Transfers. The 1950's were the worst. By 1980's - 1990's they were pretty good. They were not as good as pigment inkjet prints, but there was still a huge difference between the 1950's. And the yellow dye permanence was greatly improved compared to the 1950s and 1970s. 1955 Eastman Kodak Dye Transfer 6 month sun test. 1955 Eastman Kodak Dye Transfer Print Selection from Dye Transfer Printing from the 1950's by Daniel D.

I got a few good artists to work with already, I've been working with them for years, but they are pros and it cost $$. Things are kinda tight after all this inflation. I have lots of good comix ideas, but no art skill. I am looking for an artist that has some art skill, but may not have any ideas as to what to do for art ideas. So this is an exchange relationship and no money is involved - I feed you ideas and you feed me art. So we share the art. I use it non-commercially. All art submitted to me must be decent res. (Prefer 600dpi+ 1mb - 3mb+) You must be able to work without prejudice. In that about 85% of the art is anti-democratic party politics and maybe 15% is anti-republican party politics. It ranges from G - X rated material and is mainly adult oriented. This is comix material, not comics. If you don't know what comix is...look it up. If you get offended easily, this job is not for you. You can work in pen and ink or whatever. But digital seems to be the easiest and fastest for artists to do. Here are a couple of examples from 2 different artists. The top one is by a guy, the bottom one by a gal. They are about the cleanest ones I can post here. You don't have to be this good, but you have to do work that is somewhat decent. And as we work together, your art will probably improve as the artists I have worked with in the past have improved. The work has to be done somewhat timely. Preferably done within 8 to 12 days for a job. You may get 2 - 3 jobs a month to work on. I give you a general script and minimal instruction for the project and you do the rest, so you have lots of freedom. I'm not that nitpicky unless something is really off. Another part of the fun is seeing what artists come up with. If you don't want to do a certain job because it bothers you, that is OK. You have to sign the art with your name or sign them with a pen name or logo. (Probably pen name is best for comix in this day and age.) Write me direct if interested with samples of your portfolio. (It doesn't hurt to run your work by me even if you are not this good. They are pros.) w1000w@aol.com Dan

Things are very competitive Robin. You can't really hold it against them for not wanting to share secrets as you outlined above. To be courteous, I'd offer them a trade for schooling. If they have something you like trade them or you work for them in exchange for training. Some things take years and lots of $$ to refine. To go up to someone and ask...will your breastfeed me it all for free just doesn't seem right. What is in it for them? Are you good friends with them? I mean why?? It is the same thing when people write me to use something in my Archive commercially. I run an open content Archive aka...free use. What is in it for me to give permission of something I have no history of for them to use commercially? Why? What is in it for me except possible problems. I tell them that. I tell them it does not matter to me personally how they use it, but I can't give a commercial release. I had a gal write me about what exposure to use for infrared flash with her infrared film. I didn't even know you could buy infrared film any more. Maybe she was using expired stuff from eBay. In any case, new or expired...how would I know? You got distance, you got power settings, you got different flashes. You gotta test it, there is not set answer. But people want breastfeeding. Now, there is a place for breastfeeding. If you are in a rush or just have a mild interest in a subject and don't want to invest time and $$, then you want to be breastfed. But that only goes so far. Lots of info you get online can be wrong. The Germans have a saying...You grasp by grasping.' Sometimes you just need to get your hands dirty.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson says his production company will stop using real guns after deadly "Rust" shooting - CBS News "We're going to switch over to rubber guns, and we're going to take care of it in post," he added. "We're not going to worry about the dollars; we won't worry about what it costs." Will the post work cost about the same as an armorer and the gun rentals and all? Does the armorer have assistants and gun wranglers? I don't think rubber guns will work, but maybe hi-grade replicas. Replica Guns | ReplicaWeaponry.com

Ad 1988 - selection from Daniel D. Teoli Jr. VHS / Betamax Archive In 1988 Yamaha had come out with a optical disc player that could handle any disc on the market. It played CD's, 8 inch and 12 inch laser discs and the smaller Video Compact Disc. (A low-res version of a DVD.) It wasn't until 1996 / 1997 that the first DVD players would hit the US market. VHS was phased out in 2006 with The History of Violence being the last film released on VHS by a major Hollywood production.

A VHS Videotape Duplicator 1987
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. replied to Daniel D. Teoli Jr.'s topic in Post Production
From a film collectors forum... "The largest VHS duplication system I ever saw was also in Southern California and consisted of 1000 VHS duplicators with wire baskets in from of them to catch the ejected cassettes. The system stood about 12 feet high. When the cassettes were ejected, all at the same time, the sound was deafening." Ken Horan Ken said he used to design and build VHS duplicators back in the day.- 1 reply

Distillation residue from 1 gallon of Richmond, IN tap water. I'm interested in buying 1 gallon of tap water from San Francisco / Seattle / Boston / New Orleans for water testing. I will pay for shipping for a USPS Large Flat Rate box and $20 to you for your trouble. The water can be shipped in (4) 1 Liter plastic bottles. If you don't have the bottles, I will buy you 4 budget priced beverages and you can consume / trash the contents, rinse out well and you ship the water in them. As a bonus for your help you will get a photo snapshot of what is in your tap water, as shown above, and radiation tests for your water. Water has to be raw, not filtered, tap water with no water softening treatments. No other tests are done other than a visual of dissolved solids and radiation tests. All payments via PayPal. Write direct: w1000w@aol.com Dan Here are examples of past water tests. NSFW Distilling water is a quick acid test you can do to find out what residue is in your water. – Daniel D.

My latest aerial reel- Australia
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. replied to Chris Tangey's topic in Jobs, Resumes, and Reels
I casually looked through most of your portfolio of videos at Vimeo. I went back to the beginning, the 11 year old one of Warren H. You've improved a lot since then. While I couldn't see them all, your work shows a uniformity of outstanding visual artistry and image quality. You are very talented! -
Saw the old Juirassic Park for Halloween. Fantastic special features. They had one menu for still photos. Don't know if they were snapshots from the crew or from the 'hired still photographer' but they were really bad. Terrible exposure. I bring it up cause, from what I can tell, cinematographer's, a lot of time, don't put effort into still work to perfect it anyway near what they do with cine' work. The photos they used on the DVD would be a real embarrassment for any photog to show.

chuck close A young Chuck Close in his studio
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. replied to Daniel D. Teoli Jr.'s topic in Off Topic
Here is an article about Close and his 'sex' problems. Apparently it was much worse than a time or two. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/chuck-close-legacy-2027910? Here is the thing. You either divorce the personality from the art or you lump it all together to not look at the art objectively. In the real world it takes the whole of the artist's life experience to produce what they produce. I got no problem divorcing the two. -

shot fully open on 16mm film
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. replied to David Roberson's topic in Camera Operating & Gear
OP...don't you do any testing? Some lenses are OK wide open, some are crap. Point is, to test ahead of time so you know the limitations of the lenses. -
Back, way back in the days, when people actually answered letters, they used onionskin. (a super thin paper, for making multiple carbon copies of a letter with carbon paper.) You would sandwich 2, 3 or 4 onionskin sheets with carbon paper and bang away on the typewriter. Above is a carbon copy onionskin letter over a color photo to show the translucence of it.

When it comes to archiving, a major obstacle to overcome is personal prejudice and small mindedness on the curator's part. I see it all the time with special collection libraries and museums I deal with. Many times the digital material I've tried to place as a donation with special collection libraries has been refused because I have it or a portion of it online. And what happens down the road? The prejudiced people that run some of these online sites remove it. Now where is it? But besides that, there is no comparison with having material at your fingertips, on disc or or the server when it comes to searching through it as compared to trying to search through it online or trying to download it with slow and spotty internet service that some of us have. In addition, these small minded archives would have the hi-resolution digital material in their collection and not the lower resolution material that is online. And they could provide a backup to the online material as well. But they just don't get it. And since I brought up resolution, keep that in mind with your archival work. I see a lot of things archived that are terrible resolution. Sometimes we have no choice and low resolution is all that we can get. But if you have a choice, archive in decent resolution online. Use resolution that could make a decent facsimile, if one day all that is left for the historical record is your last extant copy. Giant Alsace bow - selection from the Daniel D.
