I knew this was going to happen. I had a bad experience with a seller. I wanted to leave negative feedback. But I knew very well that since the seller did not leave feedback for me yet, that they would retaliate and leave negative feedback for me. And they did. No surprise. 100% positive is overrated anyhow. In fact, I am now highly skeptical of people with >100 transactions and 100% positive feedback. There are too many idiots out in the world that if you haven't dealt with at least 1 of them out of 100 transactions, then you're somehow manipulating your score (more on this below).
This is a real problem with the way the feedback system works and ebay refuses to do anything. They explicitly state, "a belief that a comment is untrue, undeserved, or left in retaliation, is not one of the criteria for removal." There were a couple of other times that I wanted to leave a negative for a seller but got scared off because I noticed they hadn't left feedback for me yet. I believe that ebay sellers intentionally do that to discourage negative feedback. That's the equivalent of your waiter not serving your food until you tip them- so they can decide based on the tip amount whether or not they're going to spit in your food.
So now that I've gotten my first negative, I think I'm much more inclined to give more negatives out when they're actually deserved rather than holding back because I'm afraid of retaliation. The world needs more negative feedback.
Really, what I need to do is stop using ebay. The negative retalitory feedback issue has been blogged to death and they just refuse to address it. The problem is, for certain types of items, ebay is the only game in town...
recovered negative from Impossible Project film. Inverted in PSE 9.0. I tried soft scrub with bleach and used my fingers to spread the paste around the negative. Original shot was processed for 15 minutes then separated for the negative recovery.
Attempted to make a negative painting of trees; messed it up; so I cut and pasted a picture of a fish on it; and called it a day.
My first attempt at shooting anything in the Eastman 2-D. I figured I'd start with a paper negative using Ilford Multigrade RC. Pretty standard stuff. This was taken with a lens taken off of a 5x7 camera I had to scrap; I think it's about 7.5 inches.
I knew the paper was orthochromatic, but I wasn't expecting quite so much blowout in the sky. I think I rated it at ISO 6. Exposure was 2 seconds, give or take.
The image on the left is a straight scan of the paper, which is a bit torn up from improper handling and wrestling with the film holder. The image on the right is inverted, reversed, and curve-corrected to bring out detail in the blown out areas.
I tried to draw in the artistic style of an artist I admire, Hawaiian: hawaiian.deviantart.com/
I'm not sure that I succeeded, but it was a lot of fun!

Not sure we have the right concept up to now of 'negative shape' including me, however this image shows true negative space between the two pots. What we have all tended to do is show just space.
Trying to stay positive while bad things happen is like holding an umbrella against a hail storm. Then there's this light and Its like someone telling you to drop that umbrella, you're stronger than that. Being positive just makes me think of little positive entities surrounding me and protecting me from any negative vibes. I used to surround myself with negative people, people that always saw the bad side of things and I never realized. The longer I hung out with them the more I became negative on myself and everything. I no longer need to hold and umbrella because I see the bad side of things but being positive over comes that and sees a brighter opportunity. People should be thankful of what they have before it could disappear, sure you want to have everything and buy this new thing and that new thing but your parents work hard enough to keep a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in!
Another thing that comes to mind when I captured this statue is how much I adore them. I want these in the front of my home when I'm older, I also want statues in my house. Never thought how much art surrounds my life and how much I think of it.
For this shot I used my Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS with the setting of low light and flash on.After that I used camera raw to decrease the exposure and increased the highlight and contrast.
