Vin Crosbie's photostream  

Most people I've met know me as a news media consultant, but few know that my undergraduate work was in professional photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology (upriver from Kodak).

Most of my work is in 35mm film (or now its digital equivalent), though some of my work is in 4x5-inch or 110mm negatives. I currently use a Konica-Minolta Maxxum/Dynaxx 7Digital camera and a rare Minolta Maxxum/Dynaxx 9 professional 35mm film camera, though I sometimes still use my even rarer (1974) Minolta XK professional 35mm camera and my Cambo 4x5 view camera (I wish I could afford a digital back for it).

Many of the photos I'm uploading are old. I"ve noticed that my slides and negatives from 1967 through about 1992 have begun to fade (except for Kodachrome!), so I've been digitizing these first.

I use a Canon FS4000 (dpi) scanner for my 35mm negatives and slides and a HP Scanjet 5370C (1200dpi) for my 120mm and 4x5 inch negatives. Both utilize Vuescan. I then process everything through PhotoShop CS2 and print on a Canon i9900.

I don't miss the mess of B&W, C-41, and wetcolor printing or Cibrachrome processes. However, I hope that I someday find an inkjet printer capable of replicating the quality wet B&W printing or Cibachromes.
