can calculate how much light you're putting on the subject. As for light
sources, if you're working in total darkness, you can paint with light to

An additional data point: in Outlook I can filter using the From: address,

Yeah, you should really mix your powder stock chemistry the day before and

For film, I would worry about the developer temp but not so much on the

Rather than making a camera from scratch, I'd suggest they make cameras from
found objects (like boxes and cans, etc) which is both easier and more
imaginative ("what kind of image will THIS box give me?"). They can move to
custom design cameras afterward.
It's wise to think about whether a logo will need to be translated to black
and white for certain needs. If so, the logo should be chosen with that need
in mind.
I dunno. Seriously, digital is just different in some ways than film. As a
