"Late 20th Century" would have been a better choice and less subject to
misinterpretation (and accusations of premature aging).

Grammar looks fine to me.  The customary form I'm used to refers to such dates as decades, ie, the late 1980s, 1990s, and so on.  To me "the late 1900s" implies 1906 through 1909.  Given the date range you have, I'd just say between 1970 and 1999.  But my brain is so out of it that when I hear someone refer to the last century, I think of the 19th century, not the 20th!

Late 1900s sounds right to me, Andy.  Anytime before that would be referred
to as the early 1970s, etc.  And, say for instance the 1920s would be
referred to as the early 1900s.

OOOPS - Jack is right.  It should be the late 20th century.

Andy,

The folks on the list seem to be more interested in your choice of  
phrase than your work.  The volume looks interesting.  Too bad  
Polaroid has gone bye-bye, but you've documented an unorthodox use.

Andy, I think it should more properly read "in the 1980's" or whatever
decade. Anyhow, way to go. We should all be doing more books of our
stuff.

Hi AZ,

I was trying to express the span of years which is from about the mid 1970s
to about now ... anyway I am using up the last remaining exposures I have left
of type 667 ... of course no more Polagraph. That combo was a real "winner" imo.
Now I am doing the reversal with PS and adding a bit of grain to try to
simulate the Polagraph but it is not quite the same. I call this a hybrid. ;)
Wonder if I am eligible for a government rebate?!

The other thing I should have mentioned is that it is a book illustrated with
"figures" - a euphemism for _nude_ figures.

Ever since I started to elaborate the technique or process it seemed to lend
itself to that subject. Although what I was originally trying to save were
some of the rollout or peripheral portraits I used to make at PhotoPlus in NYC
and at various science fairs and similar conferences for over 20 years. For
several years Polaroid supplied me with a significant amount of film. I wonder
if I contributed to their demise. You know ... people would see their distorted
mug on Polaroid film and they might have said: No way Jose" no Polaroid for me!!
(joke)

Oh, well ... today I "labored" over an article on schlieren photography. It was
a pretty goo day. Hope you all had a good day and will have another tomorrow.

With regard to the use of Polaroid I say this:

When I retired from working in the computer lab I was told that "old
computer engineers use old computers"!

So I suppose "old photographers use old cameras".

I like old cameras and I am still considering buying an old plate camera
(well 1/4 plate) made of wood and brass and buy a newish lens for it.

I think the film will be available for a long time yet because, so far,
digital replacements are hyper-expensive.

I like the old cameras because of the effort required to set up an exposure.
At least 15 minutes. You first have to unpack the camera having loaded a
couple of plates into the carriers, set it up on its very heavy tripod,
point it in the direction for the view required, select a lens, open the
camera, put I the frosted glass plate, bury yourself and the camera under
the cloth, red inside, black outside, focus it, move the lens to the best
position to get minimum distortion and maximum range of focus, clamp up all
the setting, cock the lens and close it, put in the plate in its plate
carrier, take out the black cover, and press the shutter on a timer with a
cable release. After the 5 minute exposure, put the dark plate back, take
out the plate and turn it round and repeat for another exposure. Then take
the whole thing down and move elsewhere to repeat for the next exposure.
Continue until you have used your three dark slides and return home to
develop the film sheets or take them to a lab for processing.

Then you have to print them on the BIG enlarger.

I must admit I do prefer digital but the old plate camera is a wonderful
discipline when learning photography. By the way I have only exposed about 5
slides in my life!
