Mark,
You are right. Loris was a real prince of a host. But all of the
Medici were princes, right? Or cardinals or bishops or bankers to the
kings of France.
In any event I spent the morning developing some of my film and I
do have a few very nice negatives to print.

Congratulations to you and Loris! Sounds like Loris was a great
host and you did your usual great job of teaching Carbon!
The photography opportunities sound great! Looking forward
to seeing some of the work you did there.

I just returned from a two week trip to Istanbul
where, among other
things, I taught a three-day workshop on carbon printing. There
were
some twelve or so participants in the workshop, which stretched
the
limits of the locale, but the participants were highly motivated
and
worked very hard. Thanks to the use of digital negatives all of
the
participants managed to make at least one good carbon print.
I also visited the exhibitions there of my own work and that of
other
photographers, including that of our own Keith G. I was really
amazed
at the scope of the Bienal and was very impressed with the ability
of
IFSAK to pull off such a comprehensive event.
While there I had a chance to venture outside of Istanbul for some
photographic work. One of the highlights was a visit to a 6th
century
Orthodox monastery literally carved out of a rock hill. Hard to
imagine how much work that involved. Also on the itinerary was a
visit to a Black Sea fishing village and a short stay in Edirne,
which included lodging in a converted Karavansaray, used in former
times for overnight protection of traveling merchants.
Thanks to Loris Medici and other members of IFSAK for making this
such a pleasant and enriching experience for me.
