Jack,
Reading the info, which I have, I am
inclined to agree. But I would bet my bottom dollar that Dick Sullivan would
have a damned good try. Its certainly not a process that one could carry
out in your kitchen or bathroom unless you were looking for grounds
for a divorce. The Direct Carbon process, however, is and
that's why I think it will gain many followers from the up and coming
creative generations of young photo artists who are already becoming
bored with pressing buttons.
I really do not get the impression that Luis Nadeau
is trying to revive the Fresson / DC process but I think he would like to
get it off his hands to someone who would hope to use it in the
same secretive way that Fressons themselves use their own D /
C process.
So, why
not, let's big it up so that it will, finally, fetch a higher
price from the funny money people who are always on the lookout for new / old
things which they are conviced by shillabers they should buy if
they want to keep up with the Joneses.
I must ask Tracey Emin's opinion on all this when I see her at her favourite pub
in Shoreditch when she's back from the Venice Biennale.
