I have 3 books on darkroom printing that you guys can borrow if you wish. FOC, but I don't mind free coffee or a roll of film. PM me if you wanna borrow any of them. Cheers!

You can take your own sweet time to read these or use them as ref during printing without worrying about fines :)

You are absolutely right!

But there are many more in the libraries than these three you show.

It is wonderful that Riotbmx is generous enough to share his books. I am not criticizing him.

Perhaps I have not made myself clear. I should have written that there are not only many more books on B&W printing in these 2 libraries, but also that many are much better than these three books that Riotbmx is willing to share. I am not saying the same for other libraries.

It is perfectly OK if you do not wish to avail yourself of these books.

As to lending my books? Well, I do not have any now. No more. No more darkroom. Can't lend even if I wish to.

Hi

I used to see your name appearing frequently in very old threads on film when I search for film related keywords in CS... so you sell your enlarger away? 100% on digital now?

me also want to know

1 Off-hand, I cannot give the titles or authors of these books. I have not looked at them for quite a long time.

2 I did not sell my enlargers. I gave my 4x5, and medium format enlargers to an institution in Singapore.

3 Yes, I am 100% digital now. The reason is that I now use photography to document things. As an amateur photographer with a full time job and other interests, it simply takes too much time using film. I can complete a documentary project within a week when I use digital. Can't do that with film. Besides, communication is essentially digital. As far as I am concern, and from the perspective of telling a story, it makes little difference whether the medium is analogue or digital.

4 As far as the printed image is concern, I still prefer silver analogue print over inkjet print. I also like other kinds of medium, such as platinum and palladium. That is a personal taste.

Relax, its just a thread about "I have 3 useful books to lend for free". The funniest thing is that I don't even drink coffee. Have a great day

Again, you are absolutely correct!

All I am saying is that I know that beside these 3 books you show, there are many other good books in these two libraries. So those who wish to, can avail themselves to these books.

I am out of this thread.
