As many of you know Patrick Gainer shared the results of his experimentation with developer formulas and photographic chemistry on various photography forums, especially APUG and photo.net, and in both on-line and print publications, including http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/VitC/vitc.html, Photo Techniques, and The Darkroom Cookbook. Patrick was an inspiration to the photographic community and he made some very important contributions to the literature.

Patrick (or Gadget as he sometimes called himself) has not been active on the forums since late 2009 due to health issues. However, his fans should know that in spite of the fact that he has had to give up darkroom work, and his trusted analog Leica, he still loves photography as much as ever and is now working with a digital camera.

His daughter Tina, with whom Pat now lives, shared the following link to Pat’s work, http://share.shutterfly.com/share/re...8AcNnLRq4aMmFj

Hope you enjoy looking at Pat’s work.
