I wanted to thank those of you who stepped up to donate funds and have offered to send used gear to support my student Gavin at the outset of his film journey. As a community, we have raised $150 to help with #film and developing costs for him. He still needs a tripod and a camera bag.

The difference between “too old” cyanotype chemistry and fresh(er). Both 20 minutes in the UV lightbox. I spent the rest of the weekend trying to dial in a better exposure.
Two cyanotypes side by side. The one on the left has more contrast. The one in the right is dark and moody.

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? Rubber bands (mostly about to fail), twist ties, erasers (that smear more than erase)

The number of disallowed foods on a low histamine diet. And I’m on the “short list.” Extra frustrated because so many tasty summer recipes call for Dijon mustard, which of course is not allowed.
