ject and as he wishes to reproduce that feeling.

In that way only can the individuality be attained which is the keynote of
picture-making.

PHOTOGRAPHING ON A RAINY DAY

_See __Maids o' the Mist_

This picture was made with a vest pocket kodak fitted with a Goerz Dagor F
6.3. It was a rainy day and the camera user made his exposure under an
umbrella. The film was enlarged to 61/2x81/2 on Illingworth De Luxe paper,
cream-colored stock, imported from England--took about three months to get
it.

HOW A "REMBRANDT" WAS MADE

_See __My Father_

The original negative of my father was made with 5x7 Graphic camera and a
Standard Orthonon plate, using a Busch Omnar F 4.5 of ten-inch focal
length, at full opening. A hazy day in the country, the ground covered
with snow, a south window shaded by a veranda and my father seated in
front of the window about four or five feet from it, explain the lighting.
No reflector was used. Camera was moved to get the desired light.
Knowing him, I caught him in a favorite chair and in a characteristic
position. To subdue the detail of the door and wall behind, but to
suggest the depth and atmosphere of the room and to give all the lines and
modeling of the face, an enlargement was made on an 11x14 sheet of P. M.
C. No. 8 Bromide paper, and this was carefully inked, using the copper
sulphate, salt, bichromate bleach. The aim throughout was to get a print
which should be a sympathetic record of a good strong face and one which
should tell of the cheerful evening of a busy life.

All my portraits are made in ordinary living-rooms or school-rooms. I
rarely use any reflector, merely shifting my camera or my subject,
preferably the former. For younger subjects and especially children I
prefer a lighter key. Sometimes I use a soft focus lens for a very
moderate degree of diffusion.

HE THOUGHT SHE WAS CRAZY

_See __Arches of the Municipal Building_

"Arches of the Municipal Building of New York" was taken on a Standard
Orthonon plate, about 9:30 A.M., with a twenty minute exposure. Instead
of a lens, the photographer used a piece of black paper pierced with a
