[Alt-photo] Re: Sort-of-Alt fun project

[Bert Kuijer]

Hello Henry,
Nice image it is! Okay, maybe not really analogue printing and a bit
marginal as Alt, but you've got a nice result.
Something like best of both worlds, isn't it?
I would indeed be pleasantly surprised if I received such a print as a
memory of my holidays in Venice.
And it looks like fun to do too! I've never done "photopolymer plate oil
printing" but it seems like a nice process.
Something else for my wish list ;-)
Thank you for sharing and best wishes to you too.
Bert from Holland
