What are you listening to?
Mss Lizie, I'm not any specialist about cine color techniques... I know about photo color techniques only. In my front a book about the Ansco color photo system from 1948. Technicolor, anyway, looked to me very similar to old dye transfer process. And so difficult as that! Of course, the...- martinsantos

What are you listening to?
Woulderful the records of Eddie Cantor! Liked a lot! I didn't know any records of him. He got a fan. Lizziemaine: I agree that some colors process hold better the colors - no one can do as the discontinued Kodachrome. But colors in film is a matter of chemistry. There were a few process just...- martinsantos

What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?
Happy that you can save the Zenith! I saw a few Zeniths, all worderful radios... Waiting for the photos!!! (For a long time I dreamed about a Zenith with 24 tubes, only 400 pieces sold at that day). At those days foreign radios were so much expensive here in Brazil. So is somewhat hard to...- martinsantos

Kodak 1922 Kodachrome Film Test
I agree about the clothes, etc - looks much more late teens. And maybe we have here isn't faded collors. If I remember well, the first sucessful color processes were TWO color kind, not three as would be correct. Agfa tried one system with only two colors. And Kodak had in 1914/1915, a useful...- martinsantos

Kodak 1922 Kodachrome Film Test
Kodak always made a lot of research. The first experiments with color photography are ever much older. But one thing was new to me. Kodachrome was created just in 1934/35, with a very different system of color couplers. Maybe this example isn't exactly the Kodachrome (byu the way, the most...- martinsantos

Typewriters
I use tywriters daily - usually a Remington from circa 1955, sometimes another from 1940 (portable). I use because: 1- I like. 2- Usually I do not make many dactilographic errors, and can make the right margin correct. 3- People nowadays give more attention with typed texts than...- martinsantos

Vintage Cameras Still In Use
I use a lot - just film cameras. My "darlings" are leica III (1937), IIIf (1953) and Contax II (1937). One of the Leicas is always at my suitcase or at my neck. Now just looking for an enlarger by Leitz; hard to find. Mine is an Omega B22 that worked too much!- martinsantos

What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?
Arts and style. Noir movies, since when I was a kid. Lady from Shangai is the very first I saw. We ever played jazz in my home: big bands, some dixieland. A few 78s by Harry Reser. After I started with old radios, restoring them. My preferred are the wooden big gabinets, in art deco...- martinsantos

decoding the looks
A worker here in my bulding always laugh laud when see me with a hat. I think he doesn't like hats - and I think that I don't like him. In a big city usually people will think just "different" to use everyday a hat; but not more than this. Well, walking in downtown you will find punks...- martinsantos

George Hurrell 40s style photography
Liked a lot your work! Very very good! I like a lot too Hurrell's work. His photos are masterpieces. In old books about lighting his photos are always the "example". And difficult too to get this kind of lighting, ever with those photofloods. Martin- martinsantos

The Vintage Camera Club Thread
I saw your site and photos, very very good. I never had much luck about selenium meters - and i had a few cameras with them. Rollei, Contessa, Contax III, Contaflex Super. All meters never worked (with me, of course). Just my first camera - Praktica Super TL - had built-in a CdS meter, but...- martinsantos

"Can streetcars save America's cities?" ~ cnn.com
This comeback would be wonderful. Most of downtowns have chaotic transit; streets not made for automobiles, but for people. But I think that in several places it won't happen... Modern society has a passion about automobiles; I know some people who can not have food at home - but have a big...- martinsantos

What are you listening to?
Tommy Dorsey, a 10" LP of songs by Dietz/Schwartz... Probably recorded in the begining of the 50s... Alone Together is a preferred song. The sound of Dorsey is unique.- martinsantos

Most Awesome 1940's home entertainment system ever?
A great work of restoration - and a great radio and phono. The sound is just marvelous. I got here in Brazil a model from 1938, in the same forniture, etc. But the Webster phono is very very simpler (just 78s, with usual needles). And by the brazilian laws at the time, heavilly taxing radios...- martinsantos

Beautiful collection! Great cameras!! Rollei and M3 are always a pleasure to shoot. After started with rangefinders I never more looked about reflex cameras - except to the Contarex. I borrowed one once from a friend; just falled in love. The meters are working accurate? It's hard to...- martinsantos
