Re: Books on alt - paging Chris Anderson

["Christina Z. Anderson" <zphoto@montana.net>]

Greetings all,
I now have a weekend of uninterrupted time to do alt and it is so nice, and 
to start the weekend with your endorsement, Sam and John, made my day. And I 
didn't even pay you to do it, heheheheh.

But , better yet, list--Sam even stayed with me for a week and lived to tell 
the tale! And we still like each other!

Seriously, it was a blast!  The weekend started off with Mark Nelson passing 
through town on his way home, dinner at a local Italian restaurant and 
spending the night.  We were sad to see him have to go right away :(

I scheduled two nude in landscape shoots (which will be done in palladium as 
well as gum for this woman, btw--AND I just got a new shipment of Platine to 
test the bleeding issue), knowing that is what Sam's interest is...he likes 
ROCKS and lemmetellya, we have ROCKS (as well as mountains) in Montana. 
Everywhere.  And no one around, either.  Except unibombers, freemen, and 
psychos, Richard :)

Well, for those of us photographers that went along on the shoot, it was 
quite the learning experience. Sam is like this...oh....very quiet, 
peaceful, mild, Zen-ish director of the model.  I'm like a bull in a china 
closet.  One of the models--a photo student who modeled with her 
mom!--learned LOTS from watching Sam work and pose and compose, and that was 
an added benefit for me.  I swear, it was so much fun we started cooking up 
a way to do some sort of informal workshop in the area in the future...pipe 
dreams, pipe dreams...

Now, back to printing diginegs for the weekend's work.  More later on 
bleeding and gumming.
Chris
