At one time or another, all of us become dissatisfied with a realm of our lives and decide change has got to come. However, once you get set in your ways, it seems impossible to manipulate who you've become, to "teach an old dog new tricks." But with the right mindset and constant...
The methods by which artists have performed photo manipulation have changed quite a bit over the lifetime of photographs as a medium. In the past, these changes typically had to be done in a physical way to the negatives used to capture an image or to prints of a photograph. Techniques su...
If you’re using astop bathto stop development, you’ll now need to pour the required amount of stop bath solution for the recommended time into the tank, before pouring back into its container for reuse. Personally, as development times for negatives isn’t quite as critical as for darkroo...
We’ve generally been able to find the products we are used to, and the occasional substitutions we’ve had to make (kitty litter, for example) have worked out surprisingly well. Once caught up a little on sleep, we were eager to head out into the streets to explore. We already had a...
Qualitatively some cherry-picked success cases in challenging images look like: There still are false positives and false negatives in some of the more challenging images, but the algorithm is now accurate enough where it can be used, and it will continue to improve. ...

I needed to create the molds to build the guitar around. I utilized ¾” MDF boards that were eventually laminated to make these molds. For the negatives, I drew the plans for the molds & cut a single template of half of the full mold on the bandsaw. Once it was cut & sanded on...

We found this really outdated and had to escalate all the way up to the hotel manager before the kitchen was willing to change course and make sure the vegetarian amongst us got something different to eat every day. That is a definite room for improvement, but again, if you inform them ...
(and perhaps things have changed) was that all of the serious negatives described above are not the case now. The staff is friendly and efficient, baths are well-supplied with soap, shampoo, and body wash, and, indeed, the included breakfast is a huge bargain--I paid $26 for the same...
