This job would give the right person full access to our state of the art darkroom to do there own personal work in down time and a unique darkroom education. This job is likely most suitable to a younger person who desires to completely submerse themselves in conventional darkroom work. There may also be the oppertunity for that person to run sidelines out of our business to make extra cash. This may actually be perferred as work that we don't wish to handle but feel should be offered can be taken care of. This is not a run of the mill job and if we can find the right person it would likely be a fantastic oppertunity. So if you or somone you know may be interested have them contact us.

Canada just like the US has age discrimination laws. You should say "who is naive", and I know there are a number of old fools out there... - I can see the reflection of one in my computer monitor.

The first was sent with a E-mail address that I can not access. Apparently you have kwow idea about running a small business. The job certainly pays well above minimum wage but it sure doesn't pay like Microsoft (maybe they aren't paying so well either). How much do you know about this job being offered. Somehow you seem to know an awful lot. Your sure a smart guy and I'll bet your good looking to boot. If you can't make a worthwhile post, maybe you don't need to make one at all.

The Job would primarily consist of processing and printing antiquated film. Most of the film being processed is between 30 and 80 years old and requires special attention. Most of the film comes from families who find film while cleaning out estates after someone dies. You will be processing film for the dead so to speak. We need someone how will work on there own without supervision. I'm not into being a "boss". Starting wage is 8.00 Cdn for a training period of 4 months then it goes up a couple of bucks until we see what we can afford. It would depend on the person.
I am going to side with my distant colleague Greg on this one. I can assure everybody out there (without needing to get so nasty) that the job would be a dream for any like-minded young individual to Greg (or myself). The area is such a highly specialized technical niche of photographic science that I seriously doubt if any of the other posters could even comprehend the position. (Why do you think only 3 labs in the world offer such comprehensive services?) This is with the sole exception of Francis Miniter, who from previous posts here clearly knows his subject.
If people have snide comments to make about the simple process of a job offer from a reputable and higly capable entrepreneur in the Photographic industry, I suggest they find an alt group to do it in.
Certainly by UK standards the salary is not high, but the position is a junior one, and one with future prospects, not a CEO or anything likewise.
When these disgruntled posters can tell me the exact constituents to the gram of C-41 and E-3 chemistry without consulting endless websites, newsgroups, papers, and manuals, then I might be willing to lend a more sympathetic ear.

Somebody else purporting to know about this area of the photographic industry, and misguided as usual. OK, so John runs a very good and highly informative website, and has even got some of his own developers on there. However my area of experience is so different that it often cannot be comprehended.
This reply is not solely aimed at poor old John, but as an informative, hopefully helpful addition to my previous posting.
The name of our game is breaking all the rules, be it correcting colour shift in thirty-year old E-4 film by altering the chemistry mid-process, or boosting gamma by upto 500% in C-22 film developers. I formulate ALL my own chemistry, and not just developers. We use unique bleaches, hardening baths, backing removers, dye stabilisers, and post processing treatments. Control strips are nigh on useless in this twilight world, we utilise temperature change for its beneficial effect, not as a method of control.
Until very recently I had never corrected an image in Photoshop. Can anybody else predict dye levels when developing colour neg films by inspection? Thought not. How about predicting colour shift after Colour Slide First developer? Try receiving a blank cassette and working out the age and process from the colour of emulsion, spool, label etc. Any error could destroy somebody's memories.
I usually work 15 hour days, and I know Greg has mentioned a 9am to 5am shift. Steve Dock is famously busy. We all have a long backlog of work. My point is that there are lots of old films out there, just only three people with the skill and research background to act upon it. Perhaps we may be mad, but somebody has to do it, and (I think) we enjoy it. We all work long hours with relatively low profit margins, and dream of honourary photographic fellowships.
Having an 80 year-old lady thanking you for recovering images of her long-passed husband is far better than putting up with pompous professional photographers who cannot be pleased no matter how many E-6 5x4's you "push/hold/pull/hold/can't you dev it any quicker?" for them. The Customer is paramount - as in a standard lab we cannot make mistakes, but these images really CANNOT be taken again and our service reflects that level of care.
My point (again) is that I personally look forward to every phone call, every envelope, every morning, every time I hang that film up to dry. How many disillusioned posters muttering "can't have a job you enjoy" can comprehend this?
Until the next time my friends and colleagues in rec...

What is with people who feel a need to comment on stuff they know absolutely nothing about. John what do you know about my market? You don't say maybe it's a small market. No, in fact you seem quite sure like you read it in a book or perhaps heard it one the evening news. The next time I have to figure out the inverse square of the quantum logic co- efficient I'll be sure to contact you. I'm sure you will have the answer. Why do we need to hire more people? Maybe because we have a lot of work to do. Maybe from that you may be able to connect point a to point b and determine that perhaps the market may not be very, very, very small. Perhaps it is only your lack of comprehension of my market that is very, very, very small. Shape up friutcake.
P.S. We process between 200 to 600 rolls each month each requiring special handling and we are the small guys on the block. Rocky Mountain does 8 to 10 times that volume.

Well, given the fundamentals of microeconomics and the information you've already given us in this thread, it's a pretty reasonable assumption. You make a small profit margin and you can't afford to pay even what's paid to a color printer in a good custom lab; yet the supply of your service is quite small. It sure *sounds* like the demand for your service is small; and if it is not, then you ought to be charging more money.
Now, maybe there's more going on here than I grasp, but the basic assumption doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Assumption have been a real big problem with this post. People assume that I am out to find a nieve young thing to exploit. If I could just go out and hire a good color printer and pay him/her a good wage that would be great but a good color printer does me little good. What I require does not exist. They must be extensively trained. It is during this period where I will have to be spending a lot of time with them that I will not be giving an outstanding wage. That will be about four to six months. It is not uncommon for a person wanting a highly desirable job to work for a year or two with no salary at all. It's called an internship and this is a highly desirable job; of that I am confident. Not a single person has made reference that in exchange for this sacrifice the person will be making, they will be given run of the darkroom and may also if they like exploit it for profit in down time. Is there not some kind of value to that. Let's not forget there is a wage at this job and that wage is well above minimum wage for our region, and also don't forget that we are not asking for a person with any kind of experience. Another thing to keep in mind is that you can by a house in this area starting at about 15 000 dollars U.S.. That is to say the wage provided will not leave the person living in any kind of poverty. The only requirement is that they must really enjoy the work and this is easy work to enjoy if you like working in a darkroom. It is not production work and it is not at all mindless. You open time capsules for a living. How boring is that. If all that constitutes a good job is the salary you should go work for a collection agency. It gets very furustrating when I honestly feel that I am pressenting a outstanding oppertunity for someone with a passion for darkroom work and all that happens is that I get beat down. Have I gone to hell or something. This makes no sense. When did offering a good job to a group of people that have an interest in that type of work become such a terrible thing.

So ? I did that much in a week when I ran a lab in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Miss America pageant. And that's small potatoes.
Don't get me wrong, I give you guys credit for doing something you must love to do. Frankly I hope one of you writes a book about the techniques so that I can purchase it. But be honest. It's a niche market that is only going to get smaller as the amount of old films (pre C-41) disappear.

Greg,
I think you are taking this all the wrong way. I'm sorry if my post rubbed you the wrong way but frankly here in Tennessee (NOT the highest paying area in the U.S. ) the average hamburger flipper makes $8US/hour. But then the average home sells for around $100,K and the average car for around $16,K. So if you're making less than $20,K/year, your below the poverty line. And that had better be including benefits as the cost of medical here in the states can easily run over $350/month per person for good coverage.
BTW, what are taxes like in Canada ? Here in the States you can kiss 16-25% of your pay goodbye and still have to pay 8.25% sales tax on the food you eat.
Unfortunately the laws of economics dictate to us all. While your investment in your prospective employee will be considerable, your employee is also investing the one commodity that s/he has only so much of. Time.
I wish you the best and hope that you find someone worthy of working with your company.

Yes I know that comparitive to the conventional market the volume is small potatoes but of those roll that you processed how many needed to be clip tested, how many had to be loaded onto developing reels under water, how many did you have to set up new analyzer channels to get a decent print, how many did you have to attempt printing onto a myriad of different papers to get a decent print, how many did you have to manufacture a new carrier to fit into your enlarger, how many hundreds of control strips did you have to run just to get one process running the way you wanted, so forth and so on. In a given city there may be a thousand places changing oil and only one place building custom engine parts. Your Atlantic City job was changing oil. \

This is an endless market. Not only do we get as many films from the forties as the seventies but old formats are dropped and eventually everyone stops processing them. For example 126, disc and Kodachrome roll film. Not to mention what may become of c-41 a ways down the road. Even if c-41 continues on for an eternity I am way more likely to get something out of a decade or two old c-41 film then most anyone else. The same goes for old B&W. I am better at this then your average technician because I have the experience of thousands of rolls of old film processing and I have a desire to constantly be trying to improve the process. This you can't learn in a book. We are already getting a lot of this work. Sorry for the name calling in the last post. I'm just getting a little frustrated. We're just looking for someone we want to work with. It is all very innocent.

I don't assume anything about your intentions. I *do* think you're way, way out of line offering a very low wage for skilled work, without any kind of explanation, and then yelling at anyone who points out that the wage you're offering is pretty low.
With the explanation you provide afterwards, it makes more sense; hell, when I was an art-school undergrad the offer might actually have appealed to me -- though the fact that you're paying significantly less than McDonald's would still have given me pause. And if $8CDN/hr really is all you can afford to pay, but it's true, as you say, that there is a virtually limitless market for your services, then I'd have to stand by my original conclusion: you are charging significantly too little for your work.
Do, however, please keep in mind that all of this explanation you provided was provided *after* the fact, and that *before* you provided it you yelled at all and sundry who questioned the low wage you were offering. I don't really think the rest of us are out of line, here; any more than I think you provide conventional photoprocessing services I could obtain from Kodalux.
