[alt-photo] Re: Paractitioners from WWII thru the 1970's

[Paul Viapiano]

AFAIK, Irving Penn did the alt work in his studios, but of course, may have 
been helped by assistants.

Where do you have info that can be verified that he did not print his alt or 
other work?

You know, a while ago there was an article in one of the photo mags in which 
David Vestal reamed Irving Penn re: his work and implied that they guy knew 
nothing about photography. It was deplorable, and just proved to me that 
Vestal had an axe to grind, but both men's work speaks for itself.
