Both John and Pete have come on my courses as have at least six of the printers
in this year's Ilford printers of the year exhibition.
I now understand why Pete, who has known John far longer than I have, reacted as
he did. I think that it is a great loss that Pete has unsubscribed from the
list over this business. I was waiting for a little more information. But now
I think that I will take that pleasure vicariously as I suspect that John doth
protest too much..
I think I have mentioned before the gelobroms at the Historical Group exhibition
that looked at first sight as if they might of been platinums.
Thanks to all for
bearing with me through this inevitable(I suppose), irksome and wearisome
pseudo photo literary reading experience.
I am getting back in the d/room for a while. See you all.FTGRFST
