Gruppo Rodolfo Namias (Was Tricolor gum printers?)
Alberto Thank you for sharing these wonderful images with us. Cyanotype over Gum and Resinotype are both new to me, and most intriguing. I love the way the brush strokes bleed out from many of the pictures - the opposite of frames. The Venice pictures are particularly attractive - both yours and Giampietro Bottani's. The slightly anarchic quality of the alternative (post-factory? un-kodak?) photographic techniques helps the pictures evoke a spirit of that City. To comment on a more general level, we are lucky to have free access to the skills, insights and experience of so many generous contributors to this list. I suggest personal criticisms should be restrained in acknowledgement of that. If a little vanity or arrogance (or other venial sin) sometimes accompanies an interesting contribution to the discourse, then that is a small price to pay for being enlightened, challenged or provoked. So, why not bring back Terry?
