i earlier made some comments about the dangers of showing art such as alt.
procs. in repro. While not completely reversing, i now have images of an oil
transfer and a bromoil transfer on my website. While not like having the
prints themselves, they've seemed to withstand translation with some
qualities intact. Perhaps because they are technically so crummy (so much so
that i was disappointed when i made em- scratches, etc.- it took a while
before i recognized em as good anyway). Tried a couple of 5x7 Oneg
platinums- they did not "hold up" to translation.
I think i could host an alt.proc web gallery. I'm only "allowed" 5 megs on
the server, but teleport's real good about donating space to worthwhile
causes... let me know.
Jack- grab the jpegs for your students if you think they may be useful-
perhaps as examples of don'ts (don't wipe a bromoil matrix with a rough
brown paper towel...)
Judy- i still haven't finished reading the entire archive so i know i'm not
sposed to be contributing but i did (there was a thread touching on
esthetics-concerning whether a full scale and max Dmax were the measure of a
successful platinum print- i recall a tiny platinum self portrait at MOMA by
Steichen that's all low midtones, yet has TONS of values within dat scale...)
