[Alt-photo] Re: Katharine Thayer Exhibit in Astoria, Oregon

[Hans & Chia]

Hi

Sorry for my short explanation.
Yes, I mean silver gelatin print on RC paper. I found it much easier to control the dodging/burning on a photographic paper than on a film. When the print was ok I made a contact print on a piece of film.
Since may years I make digital negatives.

>>> Thanks for sharing details of your work. Quite fascinating. I do remember my first coulour gum print being made in the same fashion. From a single B&W negative, but I applied colour locally brushing it on the desired area, vs, you rremove it from unwated areas. I have to dig those prints out, as I kind of moved them out of sight once I started using separation negatives. Prints made from a single negative have a different feel to them.

At that time I went into the darkroom and made a print on a photographic plastic paper and then put this print in contact with the film for the negative. Very simple and smooth workflow. (There are some text in the background of the image saying Kodak! Maybe, I should have chosen a paper without this text but it gave me some structure in the background!)
