I don't see that they were printed by him, either, though I do love  
these portraits, too.

The platinum portraits I saw of Hauser's, years ago, were really  
fascinating in that the people in them were, of course, "beautiful  
people"-- all really very interesting looking, with strong profiles  
and bone structures--  and they were working with some sort of  
substance that was described to me as some product that's used in  
dentistry.  ??  It looked to be this very elastic and malleable white  
substance that they were stretching out across their hands and faces,  
in unusual shapes-- and it was all just so hauntingly beautiful--the  
people, the substance, the images, and-- once again, the truly  
spectacular printing.   That's the only place I ever saw these-- never  
saw them printed in any publication or on any website, but they still  
stay in my mind all these years later.
