Mike - Wow, that was close!! I thought you were going to tell us about being out fishing and dropping the D70 in the river, or even worse. :lol: Before you going paying for new containers try the local photo processing places, especially the one hour variety, they usually just toss them into a bin f...

Dave -

I agree with Dan! Would love to see all the photos you want to post.

I'm curious to know if there is a special trade school in England for those that want to learn how to do Brilliant Cut glass Signs, or is this something learned on one's own? Heck, do they even do it any more?

Ron

Doug, very cool work - both subject matter and photos. Nice tease, now lets see the real good stuff.

Ron

:D Hey there Mr. Seese! A very nice and interesting approach to the background on this job, it looks great. Is the background done in reverse on the "Machine" glass or did you do it on another piece of glass for the background? If it was reverse, boy what a challange - deck plate and rivet...

Greetings Jim!

I would also be interested in seeing anything you have the time and inclination to post.

You're post makes me think of the Pole Vault Safe Co. locker that you and others worked on in Mendocino. Perhaps Riax will also post a photo or two.

Ron

YIKES!!!!

Better plan on another hard drive if you're gonna snag all those.

Still looking for the city of Machine on my California state map.
Ron

Thanks -

I'll keep an eye out for the article. What type of equipment are you using to expose your screens? Are you using a sheet type of emulsion or coating type?

Ron

Hi Mike -

Speaking of screens ….

Your screened jobs always look so great. What equipment and products do you use to make your screens? Do you use aluminum or wood frames? Do you have a favorite thread count for most of your work?

Ron

Hi Doug,

Why not just send Ken an email to ask him, or better yet call him? I've traded notes with Ken before and I don't think he would mind.

His email address is on his web iste.

Hi Bob, If you go to eBay and search on Antique Safe, sometimes you can find some interesting floor safes with art work. None will be as nice as the one that Mike provided a link for, but you may be able to get some ideas for your use. Unfortunately, usually, the art work on the safes needs restorat...

Bob,

If you succeed in obtaining some book titles it would sure be nice if you would post a few of them here.

Hi there Mike, Assume the shot was done with the new D70? Did you have a UV filter on the camera at the time? Was this at towards the north end of the valley? Have to agree that the second phot is much nicer and I don't mind the extra pixles to see such a nice photo. Very timely as well, I was looki...

Danny, :?: I'm a bit, as always confused. So, you bought the D70"S" or the D70? Also, is somewhat safe to assume you ordered it from B&H? Oh what the heck, what size card, etc. did you add on to the order? :D Don, I have to agree that the reporters use of the D70 is an excellent statem...

Mike,

Have you had a chance to download the new upgade for the camera yet? Any problems to report?

Also, here is a useful forum for those interested in the D70/D70s

Greetings Bill!

No, THANK YOU for all the time and energy you invested in bringing all the posts over to the new forum for "Our" convenience. It is greatly appreciated!

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the information .... unfortunately no Corel. Oh well, the stand-alone programs are only in the $40 range and that seems pretty painless.

Thanks for the tip. I will take a look at the link you provided.

"Previous" test life at Sprint?

Thanks again.

I'm interested in acquiring software that will allow the capture of dialog boxes and other screen images, total and partial.

I have seen numerous versions from doing a Google search, but would like to know if anyone has specific experience with a product they would recommend?

Thanks.

Hello Mike, I whole heartedly agree with Larry .... PRICELESS . It's nice to hear Rick's voice again, in a way it is comforting. Thanks once again for your creative thinking and diligence in continuing to improve the web site, and the forum. :!: I suspect you don’t have much time for signs any lon...

Just received my copy from Amazon of "Advertising Barns, Vanishing American Landmarks", by William G. Simmons, which was published by Motorbooks International in October of last year. It's those great wall jobs - on the sides and in some cases on the roofs of old barns. There is even a pho...

:?: Hello all! Since we are close to this subject ... I read somewhere recently that "on ocassion" you can have problems retreiving images from compactflash cards - I presume it may have something to do with magnetic fields or the rotation of the earth? :D However, in some cases the data c...

Mike,

Yikes!! Don't tell me that you are thinking about spending $100 more than the $1700 locally?

Did you check http://www.bhphotovideo.com ??

What's the local tab for the "Complete Box"?

Mark, a very nice piece. Now if you tell us where you shipped it we will really know where the Department of They is.

What are the applied corner pieces, wood, resin casting, or?

Ron

Hello Mike,

I agree with Raymond, the new look is very pleasing to the eye. For my nickel the background color makes everything more pleasant to look at as opposed to the all black.

Any new historical pieces on the drawing board?

Hello John,

You might want to check out this site and see if it contains, either what you are specifically looking for, or something else of new interest. It is for photoshop version 5.0 and up.

Hello Forum Readers, For a long time I have wondered about the type of gloves and other equipment one should seriouly consider having on hand when using Hydroflouric Acid and I would like to begin using it myself. However, I have noticed that while many folks, who use the stuff, have made very good ...

Hello all,

Can you help to identify the font used for "Fire Station" on this sign?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Ron

Mike, Excellent photos, as usual. Ever considered starting a greeting card business or selling your photos as a side profession? What camera are you using to get this photos and are you using any special filters? We have an 18x30 color photograph taken by F. Joy, who probably still has a studio ther...

Hi Danny, Here is one that has some interesting pictures to get the "Juices" going. It is a product of Jim & Bill Hamilton in Richfield, OH and they do mostly dimensional signage. Their shop is actually located in the Old fire department building in town. They also make use of the Lumi...
