get 2 contact prints - put one set in a notebook, use other for cutting up
when photoq tools use stark light, pref. sunlight, + try to arrange so that light runs along tools not right down on them.
with tools be sure focusing on tools not background
use background of same darkness as tool so light meter will register correctly.
125 is basic "safe" shutter speed at which won't get much blurring - start w/ 125 + try to get light reading needed - only if can't dropdown to 60
work with camera aimed up against face, braced against brow + cheek
June 4: Further Notes on Cameras + Films
a slower film with lower ASA is finer grained + hence better for en-largements
fast film grainy when enlarged
for enlargements might try plus X rather than tri-X
when 'push' a fast 400 film to 1600 must do whole role - pushing means overexposing - must give instructions to developer 
cable release can be used when camera hand-held

STEPS WHEN SETTING UP A SHOT
1. ASA
2. move aperture till light exposure bar in center (for camera w/out light meter read off correct aperture for 1/125)
3. composition - (framing, what am I trying to show, plane, [[?]])
4. focus
5. shutter speed at 'safe' 1/125.

can reverse 2+5;do 2 first if want to stop fast a [[?]] hence need a fast shutter speed; do 5 first if need a wide (deep) depth of field
in general avoid very low aperture settings (2.8 + lower) because of
