Re: Woodburytype ? So what?
Title: Re: Woodburytype ? So what? BTW, there is a new book on Woodburytype out just now, and the
author is going to speak at APIS. This is hot off the press from Dick
Sullivan.
I though Dick posted the information here, maybe it was just on
the carbon list?
No, this is not a late May April fool joke!!

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. ''You got to pick a pocket or two oooo. You got to pick a pocket or two.'' Rant, rant, rant, rant. As ever. John etc., etc., ..............................................................................................
