[alt-photo] fumed silica

[Richard Sullivan]

We've gotten some very positive reports on this from the field. At least one
atelier printer is using it for their platinum work.

It's still in its experimental stage. There are numerous ways it can be used
so the permutations are virtually endless.

The best way to start may be using it dry. The Athenatype video on Vimeo is
a good tutorial The first part is dry coating:

Used on Cyanotype:

We have done one test that indicates that it makes Pt/Pd work well on
buffered papers and several reports from the field that confirm this. Howard
Efner thinks this could be due to the Lewis pH effect.

9 issues for $42 is ridiculously cheap for what you get. I would order two
copies (generic "I" as I already have 2 copies). One I keep at school, one
at home.
They are filled with a wealth of information but more than that they are an
historical account of those practicing alt. AND this list (thanks, Gord!!)
I assume once they are gone they are gone? Or is the daughter continuing to
publish more? 
I have always felt they should be scanned and bound in one volume, like what
Jeremy was doing with Camera Work, but it might be too costly as the size is
not an easy one to print, over 8.5x11 I think each way by 1/2 inch or
something. 
8.5x10.75 gives a huge savings because 4 can fit in a folio or some such
thing at that size.
If the daughter had the files on hand still in Pagemaker or whatnot, it
would not be too big of a task to put in InDesign and publish as a book.
One thing I notice about revising topics such as Exp and Alt (Exp being the
bw darkroom) is that a lot of stuff in alt doesn't get dated :) 
Thus the PF Journals will continue to be useful even if never revised one
ounce. 
The main thing in alt that has drastically changed, I have noticed in
perusing the archives email by email, is digital negatives. Oh, and PVA
size. Oh, and NA2 contrast agent. Hmm...now that I say that I'm sure others
will come to mind, but surely diginegs. In the beginning there was a lot of
talk about paper negs.
But I'm only on year 96!
