on't like is putting up a big camera on a tripod." I went back
in triumph, showed my permit, and shot. F4.8 Zeiss lens, wide open, one
second exposure. Enlarged on P. M. C. No. 5, to 11x14 with Smith lens.

FROM A "BATHROOM" EXPERT

_See __The Hour of Twilight_

I never at any time have had a regular dark room, practically always
changing my plates and reloading holders at night in total darkness. When
developing plates or enlargements, I take possession of the bathroom,
place a wide board across the tub on which are placed the necessary trays,
see that the room is absolutely dark, and go ahead. I usually tank my
plates and films and use Azol for developing, sometimes Pyro.

Most of my exposures are made with an Adams Minex Reflex camera, quarter
plate size. This camera cost about three hundred dollars before the war,
and I have found it well worth the expenditure. It has a Ross Zeiss
Tessar lens, which I seldom use, being quite content with the work of my
Smith single F 4.5 lens, which I carry in the camera all the time with a
three-times light filter attached. My only other camera, which I use a
great deal, is a Newman & Guardia "Baby Sybil" with Carl Zeiss Tessar F
4.5 lens, taking a picture 4.5 x 6 cm. This does wonderful work, the
negatives easily enlarging to 11x14 and over. I use the Standard Orthonon
plate and Premo speed film pack, always giving a full exposure. My
favorite printing processes are multiple gum and bromoil, three or four
printings in the former, nearly always from enlarged paper negatives up to
11x14 from either camera.

"The Hour of Twilight" is a triple printing in gum, and was made with the
Adams Minex on a Standard Orthonon plate, using a Smith single lens.

MR. WHITE'S METHOD WITH CHILDREN

_See __Sisters_

When I went out of town to make a photograph of these children I wasn't
feeling just fit and I asked my friend to excuse me from making any
negatives that day. I took the opportunity to look around and get an
impression of the place. I noted the big rooms and the characteristics of
the lighting and the faces of the children. I found that they kept their
toys in a big sort of a highboy. So the next time I went out I
photographed them there. The lens? Oh,
