Our first night on the road and we had to turn around and come back. Why? The company just called and wanted to verify what direction we are heading. The issue, because the company values our services and our well being. We even got complemented and commendations for working through the pandemic, they did not wish to place our health at risk. Therefore we have to return home and cancel all those hotels we've reserved months in advance. Disappointed, yes.. But we'll have to try again another year.. but I did stressed to the company, "you owe us big on this"

#1. I cheated, I used the reverse print paper made for doing color prints from slides.

#2. Another method I tried was use the negative but 4x5/8x10 sheet film instead of printer paper, then do a print from the sheet film which being a negative of a negative (positive) produced a negative print.

#3. And a technique I and some of my students worked on the one year I taught basic photography (renamed "History and Practice of Photography" so I could teach it on my history/geography credential) was to process B&W negative film to produce a positive image. I don't remember the name but Kodak etc had chemical sets with directions for how to do that. When mounted as slides and projected those B&W slides had a tonal range that made color slides look flat. When used as a negative it of course produced a negative print just like the sheet film in method #2. You could also use B&W 35 mm movie film but the smallest rolls I could get were 100' and that would have blown the class budget. Though I bought some for myself as I had the reusable cartridges and bulk film loading gear. For one thing I found I could load 42 frames in a cartridge and didn't have to load a new roll so often. I had one camera with a "power winder" - poor man's version of a "motor drive" used by pro sports photographers - only about 3 frames a second. Now a 35 mm with motor drive and modified to use 50' or 100' foot rolls of 35 mm movie film gave you a real arm, hand and shoulder strength work out if you used one for more than a few minutes. I got to hold one once and just could not see hauling that monster around, even if I could have afforded one.

And another fun thing I tried was using color slides as negatives and printing on color print paper - a color negative print. The appeal lasted for one 50 sheet box of 8x10 paper.

I was going through some photos on my computer a few days ago. I came across this one from last year. My granny has a flea market she loves to visit monthly. My Mom usually takes her and when I can I tag along.This particular time my Mom could not go so I took granny. I talked her into driving my car a Nissan 370Z. She said she had never driven a sports car but she was up to doing it. She had me laughing all the way. The act of her getting behind the wheel was quite entertaining. The car is an automatic so that helped.
