Wow, this Fresson thing always comes back every few years.
So, it seems, there are four of you working on the Fresson/direct
carbon/carbondir process: John Grocott, Art Chakalis, Luis Nadeau,
and Dave Soemarko. Anyone else?
Technically speaking, Luis is not "working on" the process. He
legally has
the secret to the Fresson process.
But as far as anyone working on the look of this process, I think
that is
about it if we are talking about those on this list and those who
has spoken
out. There must be many others in the world working on it. My memory is
fading, but one name that comes to my mind is something like Pierre
Duncan.
He is in London, I believe, and if I remember it correctly, he was
working
on some tricolor direct carbon process too. I don't think he is on
the list.
He wrote me one time (a real letter through Post Office). I meant to
write
him a reply, but out of busyness and switching of job, I didn't. I
feel so
bad about it. John, you seem to know everybody. If you know and
communicate
with Pierre, please tell him I apologize for being so rude.

Hello to all In Spain it is commented that Echague bought an old
machine to the house Agfa that used for its carbondir process. At
the moment in Spain some photographers are working with process of
direct coal: José Gago in Galicia (region of Spain) and my humble
person in Cáceres - Extremadura - (another region of Spain). Time
recently Sandy King was very near my house (50 kilometers), but
when we could contact it was too much afternoon. I had liked Sandy
to observe my works with this process and to have conversed on it.

Hello Jonh
Up to now I had not been happened the idea of contacting with the
University of Navarrese (Bequeathed Ortiz Echague), but this same
morning I have remitted them an e-mail to try to concert an appointment
and power to see the documentation and files that they keep.
On the other hand, in Spain, Ortiz Echague doesn't enjoy good reputation
between some picture practitioners and historians, not for photographic
reasons, but because military fué and it was to the service of the
general Franco's dictatorship. Particularly I don't understand what
relationship it can have among the picture of Ortiz Echague and their
participation in wars etc.
Ortiz Echague is good known outside of Spain that in its own Spanish
earth.
I must also say that the picture critics in Spain don't consider any
value to the picture pictorialista of times of Ortiz Echague. In Spain
there was also more photographers than they used processes like rubber
bircromatada (p.e. Conde de la Ventosa, etc.) and that neither anything
is written on them. It is as if that time had stopped or it had not even
existed.
