 ............................................. John writes, I  prefer the 
monochrome Direct Carbon work, also, because it is closer to the 
genre I want for  my subjects. Hand colouring  monochrome  
prints on a variety of paper textures with dry pure pigments or pastels ( 
including laid pastel paper with tramlines )  is a project I am 
looking forward to.    In my hands, this will not produce such 
sumptuous photographic results as the recent work brought to our attention 
by  Caroline Rogers, but it is very satisfying to do.It is also more 
painterly.   Best wishes with your own 
projects.   John - Photographist - London - UK
