This is by far - I mean BY FAR - the best thread of photographs ever done in this forum IMHO. The images in this thread are almost uniformly excellent, not just the photographs themselves but the beautiful processes and the matching of process to subject. I spent a year or so working with gum and van dyke brown but never achieved the standard of excellence displayed here. You all are to be congratulated for your dedication to learning these processes(I remember how discouraging my early attempts at gum were and how easy it is to give up), your skill in using them, and your photographic talents. If I had never done any alt processes these images would inspire me to try to learn a few and if I had the space I'd be dragging out all my old gum materials right now.
