@atoponce If we're looking to be exact, that's incorrect. In fact, 16C equals 60.8F, and 28C equals 82.4F.The two scales line up on whole-number equivalents every 5C (or 9F, which is the same thing). Thus 20C=68F, 15C=59F, &c., so 16C and 28C can't line up exactly with F.The difference between C and F is the difference between decimal and sexagesimal; one divides freezing -> boiling into 100 degrees, and the other divides that interval into 180. Thus C/F = 5 to 9.

#photography #filmphotography #retrobosakRoll 196768rj4, cont.: Highlander office, UC Riverside (May 1968)Shots around the office to finish off this roll.One: Bill Rouson. Bill was the office janitor and very much the professional cleaning guy, employing at this time 43 people. We had become friends in 1967 (I pretty much lived in the darkroom that year). Here he's studying to enroll at UCR himself -- which he did, continuing to employ five other students while he completed a degree.

Two: Bruce Henderson. Bruce had been managing editor of the paper; here he's running for a seat on student council (which he won). The following year he was on staff as one of the paper's best photographers, and he went on to a long career in newspaper work as both editor and photographer. Here's his web site:https://www.bdh-photo.com/It doesn't appear to have been updated since 2021; I fear the worst.

Four: A student newspaper illustrator. The bottles on the right hold ink, and the tape was used in "pasting up" artwork.

@sullybiker Thanks for giving me a reason to! Being able to show stuff (most of which no one has ever seen before) to an actual audience is really encouraging.

@sullybiker btw "no one has ever seen before" includes by me. I never saw more than 1 percent of what I'm showing here in a form other than a postage-stamp sized image on a proof sheet until I started scanning the negatives.

I guess it shows just how old this guy who was once managing editor of a feminist newspaper really is, but... there are women now who would continue to correspond with a man who wanted to see a picture of their boobs before going on with the conversation? Seriously? WTF?https://mastodon.scot/@kristiedegaris/114365064798752342

#photography #filmphotography #retrobosakRolls 19680040-19680047 cont.: Centennial Jazz Festival, UC Berkeley (April 1968)(Photos of the evening performances are coming up shortly.)One: During the afternoon sessions, I took pictures of what I think were some jazz critics (and one festival staffer). I leave it to the jazz aficionados in the audience to identify the critics, if that's what they were.

I've been following John Michael Greer since 2008. In the last couple of years, he's taken a position on Covid vaccines that I find offensively uninformed, but that's an aberration from his very cogent take on our energy future, which has proven correct as long as I've been reading him.https://www.ecosophia.net/the-fall-and-rise-of-peak-oil/

#filmphotography #filmlabLadies and gentlemen, the Wat-Air Roll Film Washer.You know how if you wash your film in running water, it gets covered with tiny bubbles unless you take it out of the wash and put it back in every few minutes? (You knew that, right?)This baby sends up a continuously agitated stream of large bubbles through the reels that prevent that. I've added an adapter here to the original garden hose thread to fit it to my kitchen faucet.Why isn't someone making these?

#photography #filmphotography #retrobosakRoll 19680074 (again): UC Riverside (1968)(This was supposed to come at the end of Roll 19680074, posted a few days ago, but it got lost for a minute.)Someone's admin. Note the pad of "While You Were Out" forms on her desk at the bottom of the frame. One of her most important functions is to receive phone calls for the Great Man and note down their substance for his later attention.This function is now performed by voice mail, very badly.
