[LargeFormat] Idiot

[Hornford, Dave]

Uncle Dick,

I have solved this problem with a Fuji QuickHolder. It holds 8 sheets of
film and advances through them as you pull the darkside & gizmo out.
Double exposures are a thing of the past.

The Quickholder does have its own issues. All of which have involved
inaccurate assembly after loading.

Dear Friends,

     Have you nothing better to do than read the ramblings of an idiot?
And make no mistake about it - I am an idiot. I was reminded of this
just now when I took a rack of 4 x 5 negatives out of the wash tank and
pegged them up. I have done the old trick of failing to turn the DD
slide over and have put two images on one sheet.

    The young lady in question did her part very well. Both images show
a commendable amount of young lady and the poses are quite elegant. The
fact that they are 90 degrees to each other and overlapping a chest on a
backside is the problem.

    I must make a sacrifice here. Something must go. Please let me know
the Kodak formulae for dissolving one of the backsides or one of the
heads. We can leave the 4 chests there as a sort of artistic statement.

     Alternately, would you please all detail how you prevent this sort
of deplorable operational foulup in your studios? I have done it about 3
times so far and the result never has quite the appeal of the single
image.

     Uncle Idiot
