    Kosoff interview @ Susan Burnstine Blog

    I was asked yesterday by Ken Lee for the names of some good web sites. Well here is the blog of a great photographer Susan Burnstine. And coincidently my full, un-edited interview for UK B&W magazine was just released on her site.

    Optical diffusion in the darkroom. How do you do it?

    Brian,

    Can you elaborate on your development methods?

    BK: I shoot T-Max100 and Fuji Acros. I develop them using split development. The first half of development using Xtol 1:1, then three vigorous rinses and the second half using D-76 1:1. While being more costly and inconvenient, it gives me finer grain, better acutance and high film speed, the best of both developers.

    Vorgonyi, it would be too long to recount here. But I was asked by a magazine a few years ago to write about my diffusion technique. So for those who's plumbers can't advise them on this, here's a link.

    Great read. Now that I know which issue of B&W it's in, I'll buy a copy to read the full interview. Thanks for sharing.

    Great interview. You are a rare talent having been both a successful commercial photographer and artist-very unusual.
    Thanks,

    Robert the B&W issue has an abridged interview. Susan posted the complete version. But it's still a good copy to have, it has a feature on Michael Kenna.

    Thanks Kirk, that's extremely kind of you to say and I agree with you 1000%. You could say the same things about yourself with complete justification. But again, thanks.

    Very nice work. I'd seen some examples of diffusion in the darkroom, but you've mentioned some intriguing twists. I can see how it would add a special glow to certain prints, when used with discretion. Thanks for sharing.
