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

Richard,

Phil Davis printed platinum for Karl Struss. At least he did with one  
portfolio. I saw some of the prints in Phil's studio in 1982.

There were a whole bunch of people doing alt processes in the early  
70's: one of the SPE conferences at Asiloma had that as the theme, and  
William Crawford talked about his book Keepers of Light. Todd Walker  
did all sorts of processes. So did Charles Swedlund.
