Unfortunatley the 24 hr delay after iodisation was a mistake with this paper, see the scan with transmitted light, serious fogging could be seen emerging after exposure
15 min exposure bright day blue sky f/6,3 whole plate
Winther's tannin process with Sumac extract
Pre-silver brushed 5,2% AgNO3, dried iodised in 4% KJ for 10 min followed by 2 water baths of 10 min each (pure water) blotted off and dried
Sensitized just before exposure with sumac extract 28 drops, AgNO3 14% 7 drops, gl. acetic acid 2 drops made double.Exposed moist in a glass sandwich.
Developer brushed and sprayed with 25% alcohol for 1 hr 10 min
Developer consists also of sumac extract 28 drops, AgNO3 14% 7 drops, gl. acetic acid 2 drops made double. After brushing sprayed and left wet face up under cover, brushed also just with Sumac extract saving the silver nitrate for later to boost density.
Short wash before 2 x 10 min hypo and 1 hr running water bath
Canson Marker paper was pre-silvered and iodized the day before exposure and processing.
The paper behaved well when prepared pre-silvering and iodisation on the same day as exposure and processing.

The Case of the Found Slide Film
We went to New Jersey for Halloween. This is were we were given an Argus camera that was recently found in a garage cleaning. It is a very solid camera, more boxy than my Kodak Signet 40. They were certainly built to last back in the day.
When we popped it open, we found a used roll of film.
“Whoa, do you think we could develop this?”
After a little research, (reading the canister, mostly), the film is ANSCOCHROME and yes, it sounds more interesting if it is in all capital letters. What we know is that it was slide film (I’m actually not sure how we figured that out). It is probably 30 years old. And that it is probably color (chrome gives it away). It has 12 photos from the past and I want them.
I brought it into Freestyle where they in turn sent it to Swan Photo Lab, who I was confident could at least diagnose what it is. If they couldn’t handle it, I knew we’d be one step closer to figuring this out.
Yesterday, I got the film back.
This is what we found out: it does not use E6 but E4 processing and they do not do it. Fair enough. It’s tungsten type film (says on the canister) and that does mean that it is color. Also on the canister: ”Only open in total darkness. Process in 80 F chemistry.” That means little of anything to me, but this may be the key to deciphering the processing/developing type.
It also caused a good laugh in the store about warming up chemicals and putting it in. ”Do you guys have any bleach? Let’s put it in that!”
A google search in store said that one of the differences between E6 and E4 processing is that a hardener is added to the process. Nowadays, slide film has a hardener added to it in manufacturing, according to Freestyle peeps. I expect that this information will be corroborated once I…
TO BE CONTINUED!
Trying out the new lasercutter at work, I made an enlarged version of an old growth form. This is cut from 6mm black acrylic - works pretty nicely as a heat mat.
This stunning photo documents a recent changing of the guard in our laundry room. At right is the remnant of the round soap bar that is the former soap used at the laundry tub. At left is the Ivory bar that replaced it. The older bar was unsightly, causing much embarrassment when we had visitors. This change is evidence of process improvement.
Being the type of person who yearns for recognition, I have applied for an ISO 9000 certification for hand-washing in our laundry room. The ISO plaque will look good on the wall and will no doubt impress neighbors, appliance repair persons, and VIPs who drop by for photo ops.
Common sense dictates that the sequence of old to new should go from left to right, matching the reading direction of the English-speaking world. I rejected that composition because it did not look as balanced as this does. I hope that does not lessen my chances for the certification.
Facetious comments from my viewers will not be welcomed with an outpouring of gratitude.
