    Re: post alternative techniques

    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.

    Brian; you're too kind.
    Bu I agree that I in here have seen images, I'd never thought could exist.
    I wish more people woulf chime in with their images..

    While I am waiting for that, I ahve had some more fun with the bromoil attemts of Laura...
    I LOVE the possibillities the bromoil presents.
    Using liquid emulsion on heavy paper - totally unhardened, makes it possible to melt the emulsion after the printing (just with hot water) or I can bleach out/redevelop areas of interest.
    then bromoil bleach and make the bromoil.

    Fun - frustrating when it is not a success - and happynes when it works...

    also, when doing bromoil, one can make the image "incomplete" - like a drawing or quick painting. I like that.

    So here are two, I did today.
    the first is Laura in profile, made almost like a reddish/brown charcoal drawing.

    the second is made almost like a B/W pencil drawing.

    I am off to Prague for some days... so maybe I can leave this messy stuff alone for a while.....

    Gum geek question, Kerik: what color mix is that?

    It must be almost overwhelming in person at that size. Very cool.

    A couple of recent carbon prints, but I need to live with them for awhile -- and perhaps rephotograph the vertical for a little better composition the next time I go to Yosemite (picky picky picky!)
