Not only do I hand copy, but I hand agitate the sensor medium in chemicals, air
dry the sensor medium and advance the sensor medium by hand through a box with
a lens and light whilst exposing it to photo paper which also gets hand
agitated in chemicals…hard to lose a file that way and much easier than my old
method or etching 1s and 0s on glass plates with a stylus from an Apple Newton
