Wet photography is really dying

Another depressing data point: today I saw an Omega enlarger put out on the curb on my way home. (A little 35mm one.) Nearly complete. You picked it up, didn't you? There's still a few people buying them on eBay. Nah, they're practically worthless. I see them at my favorite recycled-goods store in Berkeley (Urban Ore) all the time. Geez, I need to come to your neighborhood for a day or two. Heck, I'd have at least paid shipping on that one. Over the last month there've been *2* 4x5 Beselers, pretty complete, along with other enlargers (and parts thereof). Yesterday I ran across a Beseler universal color head. Stuff like that comes in there all the time. -- Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. - Paulo Freire |

It only means a another large part of the Bell Curve has been harvested away. Enjoy. |
