OK, here goes. I am a writer (working on a book about Vectographs) and before that, I helped bring the Palm PIlot, RIO MP3 players and a variety of PCMCIA products to life.I left photography, sold much stuff (all of it) Now I am back looking to replace a less varied collection of camera and misc stuff. Forgive me as I tend to ramble on and on and on ...
I am Robert Maxey and I was employed by Bill Shipler Photo here in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I sold equipment very few here remember. In fact, one of my last sales was a Kodak flash Pan, new in the box as well as other obscure stuff. BSP was established in the late 1800s and we never, EVER threw anything away. That is how I ended up with a relatively new Burke and James view camera, 200+ Kodak Dealer Coloramas and about 50 Kodak dealer advertising photographs too big to display.
I was a photographer on staff and ran the darkroom. I literally processed and printed tens of thousands of rolls of film. Minox, 110, 828, Instamatic, 35mm, 120/220, sheet up to 8X10/4X10 and some Cirkit, 8". Tens of thousands of prints as well. All custom processed and printed using a variety of papers and developers; usually, grade 2 or 3 Kodabromide. No automation, just a 23C, 45MCRX and a Leitz Focomat. Deep tanks for most; hard rubber tanks and miniature tanks you kids (Smiley Face Here) might not remember: Kodak "Kodacraft" tanks; still my favorite way to go. Any like minded tank lovers about?
There is much more to my tale, but I'll spare you all.
Glad to be here.
