I heard critics can, sometimes, make an artist‘s work better, especially acid critics.

The winter rains were late this year, but they're back with a vengeance, so it's into the darkroom for me. I've posted three new pages of the P.O.P. project. I plan on a couple a week until I run out of material. And, of course, I invite any other POP maker to contribute. http://thelightfarm.com//cgi-bin/newcarousel/htmlclanslidegen.py?chapter=POP-p11

I have a kind of related or side project. I've been reading about POP light meters. There was excellent talk recently by Erin Fisher from Eastman Museum here that got me thinking (and ogling Watkin's Bee Meters on eBay).

I was wondering if there were a way to make a simple POP paper to use as a light meter in the field for my own emulsion dry plates. Could I even use the same emulsion on a roll of paper and just check how quick it prints out as a guide to exposure? Does anyone do this?

Anyhow just thinking aloud.
