Last spring, Dick Arentz showed his portfolio to the photography class I
was in and he described how he dodges and burns his platinum prints using
tissue paper torn into the appropriate shapes and placed on the paper to
block light. I believe Edward Weston described this same technique in an
article from the 30's or 40's.

Fair enough. but you can leave the room while the light is on if you are
using that kind of 'masking'.
Standing in font of the lamp and waving bits of card around, which is what
is usually meant by dodging, is dangerous in front of a lamp of that power.
