So, my dad picked up a 3D Printer and while I don't think Consumer Grade Printers meet all my expectations/cost ratio yet I'm not exactly gonna turn down what is free access to a 3D printer you know?
Still getting the hang of things, the one on the Left is the first attempt at a low resolution with lots of issues and the second one is slightly smaller but at a medium resolution. I have some settings and such picked out for a third attempt. Hopefully net time I'll remember about Flickr right away instead of 3 days later! xD
East Lansing resident Arie Koelewyn adjusts the spacing between letters after a test run on the printing press on Sept. 29, 2016 in the art studio at Snyder Hall.
The printing frame was left with the sensitized salted paper in contact with the calotype negaive for a few hours on my terrace. Little did I know, that while I was in the basement darkroom it started to rain. Though the frame was not totally unprotected the wind direction made some rain come on the frame and inside it. The thin calotype paper got wet and being pressed wrinkles appeared immediately as the swelling paper was also restricted and got wet in the upper half mostly. The contact with salted paper released the chemistry which got into the calotype negative causing yellowing. I conducted a rescue operation and think I saved it by minimising the damage.
The rescue operation:
1. put in a water bath immediately for about 30 min in subdued light.
This, to make the paper relax fully all over and release the water soluble discoloration which comes from contact with other materials, including the wooden frame
2. refix for 2 min in fresh hypo. In case the calotype negative sucked in chemistry from the saltprint paper it could have become light sensitive. Refixing may also help remove some of the yellow/brown discoloration
3. wash for 2 hrs. This was done to make sure all hypo is removed and if any other watersoluble substances were in the paper.
Canosn Marker layout is a strong paper and survives all this remarkably well, if this was Hahnehühlle paper I would have more trouble with distortions and possibly tears
4. air drying hanged up and weighted to stretch the calotype lightly when drying.
5. pressing in hard press put between two pieces of clean archival (unbuffered) pieces of mat board. My newly acqured press has proved incredibly useful.
The rsult is a flat calotype with light yellow staing seen in low density areas of the tree and the top of the building. Just printed from the rescued calotype and see no serious failure. I have a feeling that if this was a glass plate negative I would not be able to save it.
Cheers and skål for paper negatives!

An old machine, probably about 70 or 80 years old or more and used for printing propaganda leaflets and single page newspapers. Possibly a wartime memorial?
An old printing machine in what was my Grampa's room in a uniquely chaotic farmhouse in South Wales.
I have found out a little about this machine- it's a Roneo 750 rotaryduplicator, that that uses a stencil through which ink is pressed.
It was used to make multiple copies of office documents, leaflets or brochures before the advent of the photocopier.
And her children. Inside the Ler Devagar bookshop in Lisbon a few months ago. Built in an old print works, the old equipment is still there, built into the huge shop.
Been printing collage papers with the help of a sheet of acetate, acrylics and some spray inks. It was fun! Blogged: caatjesartsystuff.blogspot.nl/2013/08/printing-up-storm.html
Proving once again that printing yellow on black is not a good idea. Compare the stripes on the actual minifig to the one on the instructions, and the deep yellow of the arms and head.
Here's something you don't do every day! I'm making a print of a photo of General George Patton on 13x19 paper. I had recently landed a gig scanning a bunch of 4x5 negs shot by the Signal Corps during WWII. Our local History Center is now organizing a showing of some of the photos and they are having me make the prints. It doesn't get much cooler than this! Photo taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 MkII and Konica Hexanon AR 35mm F2.8 lens using a Fotodiox adapter.
Inside the Gutenberg museum, we witnessed a short demonstration (in German unfortunately) about the advent of moveable type printing.
My last sign of the day. I came *this* close to not uploading it.
Valliant has a nice, vintage sign on the street front, but the sign in the alley behind the shop just rocks.

This is by far my most viewed photo on Flickr, and almost all of them come from people who have typed "old printing press" in a search engine. I know it has been used on blogs and slide shows a few times, but not nearly often enough to justify the popularity. I find it fascinating that in this age of digital publishing, my most popular photo is one of ancient publishing technology, but I'm getting more and more curious about why so many people look for it. Sadly, I lost the original long ago, or I would have uploaded a bigger version.

My write up on photographing the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas here
On the weekend of November 20-21, 2010, I was invited to photograph the new Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas prior to their opening December 15, 2010 in Las Vegas NV.
This set of images represents my efforts that weekend to showcase this newest resort property opening up on the Las Vegas Strip. Thanks to David Scherer from The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for showing me around, to Miiko Mentz at Katalyst Films for helping to arrange the shoot, and to my wife for modeling for me.
