Hi Colleen,
It was a good party, and I was sorry I couldn't stay longer, as there
were quite a few people I would have liked to have talked to more, not
least Jim and Millie. But I had fun taking the photos, and it's good to
know that people like them. It was rather like the work I do on the
streets really, except for the champagne!
I've been around here for quite a while and used to contribute rather
more, but these days I'm rather a heretic so far as the list is
concerned, having gone over to inkjet printing, finding I can get the
results I want from that rather than platinum or salt etc. But I used
to use (and occasionally teach) many of the alt processes.
I did enjoy the Sabine Weiss show at the MEP rather more - all silver
gelatin, but they would have been good however they were printed. And
it was nice to actually meet her there. Did you see the prints at the
Bergger Gallery - I quite liked some of the architectural work - I
think kallitypes by David Rase.. And at Paris Photo it was interesting
to see some by Heinrich Kuhn, including a pretty large gum - around
55x75cm
Regards,
Peter

type="cite">Hello Peter,
How funny, we met at the lensculture party and I had no idea that you
were part of this list!
I saw your photos of the party at Jim and Millie's afterwards and they
were fantastic!
I completely agree with you about the MacDermott prints, I commented
afterwards that I have seen much better from this list.

I wrote a little piece somewhere a couple of
years ago after going round one of the big shows - probably Paris Photo
- about all the various different ways dealers were trying to hide the
fact that some prints on sale were inkjet prints. Of course many are
still at it, though I did see the "i" word used a little more this
year. And many of the best contemporary prints on show were inkjet,
particularly colour but also some fine b/w prints.
There were also some fine historical examples of alt-process prints on
show this year, and of course the MEP had the impressive MacDermott
& MacGough show, though I have to say I was not impressed by the
quality of their gum prints or cyanotypes - I think most people here
could have made better prints for them!
I'll possibly get round to writing more about this later - if so I'll
try and remember to post here. At the moment I'm still trying to catch
up after a rather busy time in Paris
