I'll bet some people thought that this message was going to be about my own
long awaited (upcoming) photoceramic book, but it isn't. Possibly by the
end of this year.
I noticed that Oliver's address is from Germany and is so happens that I
just received a review copy of a neat little publication from that country:
Alfred Korzeniowski: _Die technischen Grundlagen der Photokeramik (Email-
und Porzellanphotographie)_, H. Lindemanns Verlag, Stuttgart. (1996) ISBN:
3-89506-154-9. There is no indication of the price. H. Lindemanns Verlag
can be reached at Nadlerstrasse 10, 70026 Stuttgart, Germany. They have no
email address.
It's only 11 pp., 18x12 cm, printed on one side with a decent quality dot
matrix printer and staple bound. No illustrations, footnotes nor
bibliography. It has all the signs of a home-made production but this does
not take away anything from its value.
After a brief mention of the chemical substitution process, he reviews the
dusting-on technique with a classic Obernetter formula. Then he moves on to
the carbon transfer process with a formula from Tranchant's work. This is a
good though brief overview of the ceramic processes.
I have known Korzeniowski for several years and I am always happy to show
my students and visitors a beautiful cup he sent me with a portrait of his
wife burnt-in at high temperature in a warm sepia color. This was produced
with the carbon transfer process. He obviously knows what he is doing.
