[Alt-photo] Re: Dimroom light

[Jack Brubaker]

It is easy to justify care in light sources when handling alt materials but
remember that Keith Gerling (sp) does gum outdoors. He coats, developes,
and drys in the shade of a deck on the back of his house and prints in the
sun. Or, at least he did for some years, making wonderful prints.
