Yay! My first work out of my personal darkroom

Congratulations. If you are going to wet print, just wait until you see the image appearing on photographic paper for the first time. I am told there is a reasonable scientific explanation, but actually - it's just magic!
How does that Arthur C. Clarke quote go? "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"?

Yep, I've been doing wet-printing out of negatives in the bathroom :) Here's a print out of my Zorki C and I-22 collapsible (Any Thoughts?):
"'Ere I am, J.H., the ghost in the machine." (Brazil)

I think you're on the Way. Keep printing.

Jeremiah! I always wanted to watch that Gilliam movie. Also, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was very entertaining.

Going off-topic just for now: galfriend's oldest son got us the Criterion Colelction DVD set for Brazil, which I can't recommend too highly (and I'm not one for sitting in front of the TV for much of anything any more, having given up regular TV watching 25 years ago).

On-topic tie-in: comp_wiz' print reminded me of the elevator scane in Brazil. Could not resist making the reference.

Hadn't come across that but I like it. Some of you may have noticed my Doctor Who addiction. My favourite Doctor Who story is called Logopolis and the Doctor visits the planet where the rulers of the universe do all the maths that keeps the physics and chemistry of the universe ticking over. If they stop calculating, the universe stops! Some of that maths was in the developing tray. Any other explanation is just piffle.

Incidentally - I've been trying to perfect my black and white craft skills for about 30 years. I may be a slow learner but I am only now getting stuff I really like.
 
help

help

this might be wierd and off this subject but i was searching on google and this came up soo help please.
i need help so maybe someone on this site will be able too. i have aquired my grandfathers cameras from my mom...she said they might be worth money...he died in 1967 soo they are old because they were his. my mom says one is from germany. anyway i have in cases, what looks like a vitomatic 2 camera...doing research i assume about 1959. dont know if it works. i also have what looks like a camera made in hong kong...i cant see a clear name but what the writting says on the lense is Halina Anastigmat 1:3.5 f=45mm that is around the lense and it says engraved at the top HALINA 25X

each have their origonal carrying case the vitomatic's says WEST GERMANY so i assume it is from there...the Halina has a hard leather case as well. i have what looks like a flash thing that would go on top of a camera in a seperate bag with all except light bulb. and what looks like a timer in its own case as well as a string thing that looks like you can set up camera and take picture my pulling it. they all go into a case that looks like it is from the time but not with the cameras but they do fit perfectly so i dont know. well i was going to give these away to my teacher but he suggested they might be worth money if old. he has not seen them so i would not know. so i have searched the web for info on value and all i could find is this for getting help that is. what is the value of the cameras individually and for everything in which i have described. a lot to ask so assuming they work, how much? and also what you might think if they dont. they look in good shape but looks are only half of it. need your advise asap. PLEASE EMAIL ME for i will not be on this comp much longer and the site might be lost. thankyou JOSH (you can post on thread too but i might not find it)
