but it was developed using Platinum Palladium plates instead of gelatin silver. Platinum palladium plates are not as light sensitive but require the photographer to develop the negative at the time of exposure. The photographer, Joni Sternbach, says that “The nature of working with a wet chemical outdoors is spontaneous and unpredictable. This lends an element of risk and surprise to the…
• Photographic plates preceded photographic film as a means of photography. A light-sensitive emulsion of silver salts was applied to a…

Colloidal silver has become increasingly popular for several good reasons. It is very affordable, especially if you make your own with a generator. It can treat hundreds of illnesses. And this liquid is also very safe. Read on to find out more about colloidal silver and all its benefits.…

Premedia refers to all the “upstream processes which occur before a job is sent to final output. This is important because in today’s graphic communications field, output could be any of the following…
Artists who willfully damage or manipulate a print for creative purposes are addressing this careless attitude. The decision to make the print part of their methodology rather than solely the end product opens up a completely new way of making art in photography. Allowing the print to be as a blank canvas is to a painter brings a new dimension to saturated medium. This bring the preciousness back to photography, these works are one off, irreplaceable ‘objects’.…
This allows the safety positive to be used as a backup rather than risking the safety of the negative. Answer prints are made, which allow release prints to be created. Since the original camera negative is vital for storing the film, it is used for the least number of activities possible. Each time it goes through a laboratory, there is a risk that it will be degraded, scratched or damaged. Due to this, the original camera negative is generally the last resort and is only used when the other copies have been lost, damaged or compromised. Prior to 1969, 35 mm prints were made from the OCN. This means that older films often have more damage and need professional…
Maria, what a great post! Thank you for letting us know about the amazing properties of silver in the medical field. Silver is an element with incredible properties, we have been taking advantage of it for a long time, and we are still using it for many purposes. Silver has large applications in different fields, being science, art, and industry the strongest of all. You can find the use of silver in energy, in the purification process of water, in the windows and glass manufacture, medicine (antibacterial, x-ray) as you mention before. Silver has an antibacterial function that goes up with the ability to kill more than 650 deferent types of bacteria (Volpe, 2009). You can also find silver in batteries, the electronic industry, and automobile…
For three years, George Eastman meticulously experimented with gelatin emulsions in his mother’s kitchen after his work as junior clerk at the Rochester Savings Bank during the day was over. His perseverance paid off and by 1880, George Eastman had not only perfected the dry plate formula, he had also come up with a machine that prepared these dry plates (Eastman Kodak Company). Soon, according to Utterback (1), George Eastman was producing dry plates on a large scale which “certainly…

Organ printing seems to be a revolutionary technology that would help to improve the quality of life of many people, however, getting to the point where 3D-printed organs become a viable replace to organ donation is not that easy. Now at days, a person on the donor waiting list has to wait many months (and even years) to get a transplant of heart, liver or any other organ that they might need; if printing organs become a mainstream treatment ,any doctor could use the cells of said person to grow the organ or tissue that they need in less time and for less money. This means that the public could have a new, cheaper and safer option to treat their illnesses or repair their damaged organs and tissues. However, in 2016, this technology is not being widely used and this is due to several reasons: first of all, it’s very difficult and time-consuming to research how a specific type of organ works and then use that knowledge to replicate the cell’s behaviour, and make a functional and compatible new organ or tissue, this makes it very difficult for scientists to get funding for their research.…

Film formats included in general special collections can include regular 8mm, Super-8mm, 9.5mm, 16mm, and 35mm gauges. Acquisitions can include films with magnetic sound stripes or original reversal or magnetic soundtrack and prints with optical tracks. Films can be stored on cores, daylight spools, reels, or loosely lying in cans; and stored in metal cans, in plastic and fiber shipping containers, or in original cardboard boxes. Unfortunately, film can be damaged from use by either humans or machines. That’s why the originals should never be used or only access copies should be used by staff and researchers. Film also can be easily scratched. The deterioration of films cannot be stopped but can be retarded by conversation steps. Firstly, Macro storage environment. Films should be stored in a cold and dry environment. Original colour films should be stored at the coldest possible temperature to reduce colour fading. Besides, 0º F for colour films is preferred, but if not realistic, 30º F with 25-35% RH is sufficient. Black and white originals can be stored at 25-50º F with 25-35% RH. Secondly, Micro storage environment that store films on cores, not on reels. The exception is with Super-8 films, which should be stored on plastic reels. Moreover, films are store in inert plastic polypropylene cans. Then, remove all paper from inside cans. Do not store magnetic fullcoat in the same can with its corresponding workprint or reversal. Magnetic…
