Re: Keith Taylor article in View Camera



There are (legal) PDFs of articles because the holder of the copyright or the publisher of the magazine or both agree to allow the article to be published online. There are copy machines in libraries so scholars can make copies of articles for their own personal use in scholarly work. That's not the same as making the article available for anyone to have for free, without consulting the holder of the copyright.

If people don't buy magazines, then there won't be magazines any more and no more articles to copy. You do see that, don't you?

People kept asking me to make my Lenswork article available online when it came out, and I refused because I didn't think that was fair to Lenswork. It's amazing how indignant people got aboutthat, as if they thought they were simply entitled to have the article for nothing.

Sure they can. There a ton of PDFs of all kinds of articles.

That's also why libraries have copy machines...

No, anyone can't, that's a copyright issue.

Can any one PDF the article?

I ran in to Portland this morning and bought this; thanks, Don for setting me straight about which issue it was in. I would have waited for the July issue and missed it. This is a gorgeous article, not by Keith actually but about Keith's tricolor gum printing; the pictures alone are worth the price of the magazine, and the information is good solid accurate information. There's no magic; he prints tricolor gum just like we all do, well, just like I do, except for mounting the paper to aluminum, per Dick Sullivan, and using a foam brush. If there's magic, I suspect it may be in his custom color profiling and soft-proofing system.
Anyway, Keith, if you're watching, beautiful article! and for anyone else who is interested in tricolor gum printing, run, don't walk, and snap this up before the July issue comes out; this is an article that should be in every tricolor gum printer's library.

Its in the May-June issue of Viewcamera, not July (which isn't even posted yet on the online version)
Here in the Portland area, it is carried by Barnes and Noble, and Borders.

I'm surprised that no one bothered to mention this, but I learned on
another forum yesterday that there was an article by Keith Taylor on
tricolor gum in the July issue of View Camera. There are two places
I used to buy View Camera by the issue in Portland: Pro Photo Suppy
and Powells, but when I called those outlets they said they don't
carry that magazine any more, and I haven't been able to find any
place in Portland that does. Is View Camera available only by
subscription now? And no, I don't have any interest in buying a
subscription just for that one article. There's nothing on the View
Camera site, that I can see, about buying individual issues.
