I just went to a photography exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts. They had a print by Margaret Bourke-White in which she had experimented with a new technique. She "projected" an image onto a 16x20 sheet of film, then contact printed it. According to the description, this created a more "rounded" 3-dimensional look to the work than working with a negative and an enlarger. Does anyone know how she developed and refined this technique? It sounds strange that projecting a film positive onto negative film to create a paper positive would create different results than projecting a film negative onto a paper positive.
