post alternative techniques

I'm looking forward to that video, and getting more excited about meeting Vaughn, and taking his workshop in Vancouver. I don't know if I'll have the discipline for carbon printing, but I won't know until I give it a try. I'm just excited about attending a workshop for any alt process! I took photography classes years (and years) ago... before children and mortgages. It slid into the background, and I returned to photography in the 90's as my kids grew up. A few books and the internet have been the source of the lion's share of my instruction for the past couple of decades.

Here's an example of my continued learning - about lighting, as well as printing.

Bravo Maestro, to borrow a phrase.

Sly -- if you are doing such wonderful gum over platinum, carbon printing will be a snap!

If you think you don't have the discipline for carbon printing you probably do not.

But, for those who think they might want to try it, check out this video by Tod Gangler on coating carbon tissue. In the video he is making a magenta tissue for color carbon printing, but the method is one we could use for making monochrome tissue as well.

Great, great video...always nice to see someone's "moves"...!

Thanks folks. Looking forward to meeting you Vaughn and seeing carbon prints on paper rather than digital shadows.

Good video. I dont do much different to you except use a heated rod, wear a lot of gloves and wash hands quite a bit. Possibly unnecessary but comforting.

Nice video, Andrew.

And I really like the idea of using very old and pre-used cotton underware to filter the glop!!
