Day 175- Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Day 175:

So, today has been a good one.

This morning, Brenden, Emilie and I went to the R.O.M to pick up a ton of film, paper and chemistry courtesy of the Imaging Department.

Brian Boyle, the R.O.M's head photographer gave us a tour of the studio where they document every item that comes into the museum, and then showed us the goods.

We had to take a cab to get it all home!

After a brief inventory, a few interesting items include:

- 1600 feet of bulk medium-format Kodalith duplication film

- 500 feet of bulk Ektachrome and Tri-x medium format film

- Just over a thousand sheets of 4x5 Kodak B&W duplication film

- A few packs of 8x10 sheet film

- Several rolls of 35mm infrared colour and B&W film

- 2 spools of bulk 35mm mystery film

- 200 sheets of really nice Ilford 4x5 B&W, and a few hundred sheets of the same in Kodak

- 4 or 5 packs of Fuji 4x5 polaroid film

- A ton of 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 photosensitive paper

- Several packs of 20"x24"(and other sizes) photosensitive paper

- A 4 foot x 100 foot roll of photosensitive paper

- 3 bulk film loaders

- Some darkroom chemistry

- And a huge assortment of different 35mm and medium format films

... That's about all I can think of off the top...

So, basically, I love the R.O.M, and I love Humber for the hookup.

And lastly, Janice officially moved in to Em's apartment today downtown, so we're all busy unpacking and celebrating the togetherness.

Goodnight friends,

Joy
