Re: Re: Alt-emulsion-projection
Apparently I missed the tongue...and the cheek, hehe. It's hard to identify sarcasm on the list (and I think that's where most of the arguments on this list originate). At first I read your post as sarcastic (noting the words "glowing reviews"), but then I started thinking maybe you had actually read some good articles about cyano rex. Just wanted to make sure. Maybe we should institute a policy to add [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags around our jokes... :) Camden Hardy camden[at]hardyphotography[dot]net http://www.hardyphotography.net On Thu, October 19, 2006 9:14 am, stwang@bellsouth.net wrote: > Ah Camden, > > Are you pulling my leg or do you not see my tongue firmly planted in > cheek? > > Sam > >> >> From: Camden Hardy <camden@hardyphotography.net> >> Date: 2006/10/19 Thu AM 10:23:56 EDT >> To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca >> Subject: Re: Alt-emulsion-projection >> >> Sam, >> >> I'm curious about the glowing reports you mentioned, since I've heard >> nothing but bad things (especially on this list) about cyanotype rex.
