RE: Some recent publications about carbon transfer

[Sandy King <sanking@clemson.edu>]

Hi Judy,

I am sure the photo is the one you are thinking about, though it is a 
screen window. At one time I called it "Faux Fleurs" expecting that 
someone would correct my French, but it never happened. Now I just 
call it Glass Flowers.

The original separations were made with an 8X10 camera on Tri-X film 
at my mother's home in Louisiana. My wife, who hated the place, on 
seeing the print in Silvershotz, commented, "it is amazing that you 
made something so lovely in that ugly place."

Making color carbons was very difficult with wet processing. I think 
it would be much easier today with computer separations, but I am so 
happy with my monochrome carbon work these days I doubt I will ever 
go back to color. But I am tempted.

Best,

Sandy
