Good Morning All,
This Bleach thread seems to have developed into a ''big deal''. My own association with Javel Water is that I have used it for about fourteen years in my Direct Carbon process as already decribed in several previous postings.

There is a modest D/C image of mine made on high quality bog standard wall paper ( 220 gsm ) ''Hippy Tower'' if anyone would care to view it on :-

John, I did care to view it... and found it very intriguing -- tho of course viewing on the monitor is frustrating, that is, I never feel I get the real feel of a print. However the image itself is intriguing. Could you be persuaded to expand a bit on that? Why is it a "hippy tower"?, for instance. And which part, foreground or background? Where is it? And when did you make this print? Etc.

PS. Are those arrows under the print supposed to obey clicking, or part of a different scheme...? (Perhaps to screen out dummies?)

J.
