RE: peeling the apple + "American Photography"



DEAR DON,
	Further to your point below, most alt processes have been passé for
a century!  That is why they are great as artistic media instead of
commercial media!
		CHEERS!

Hi there

Sure Alternative Process Printing is passé,  but that is why this list
thrives (with the additional attraction that woolly thinking and sloppy
grammar get short shrift).

In my view using PS plugins to increase the mushiness of your pixels is a
mainstream process  - not really "alt" at all.  You can read about it on
every magazine stand.  It doesn't need further discussion in alt photo
books.

If anyone is still interested in postmodernism, I recently found this brief
account of its demise:   http://www.philosophynow.org/issue58/58kirby.htm

We might as well face it, Alternative Process Printing is now passé. Better
plan on adding a chapter for PS plugins to the Gum book!
