I just got the latest PhotoTechniques Magazine with Carl Weese's article on
the Ziatype. Mind you, I am not a neutral party to this, but it is a
stunning article. It is eight full pages of detailed information. It is not
your typical beginners article. This is a breakthrough for a traditional
photographic magazine to go into this much detail, especially on an
alternative photographic process. This is the same magazine that printed
John Barnier's article on the Ware Cyanotype.

They are considering more articles in this vein, but are unsure if there is
an audience for them. If you would like to see more in depth articles like
this on alt-photo processes, it wouldn't hurt to send them a fax telling
them so. I don't have the editors e-mail address but their FAX number is
847-647-1155. The editor's name is Mike Johnson. He's cool. He's gone this
far. He's done The Ware Cyanotype and now the Ziatype article. With a
little prodding, we may see a lot more articles on alt-photo processes. You
might also tell them you buy a lot of photo equipment from their
advertisers. This seems to be the bottom line, unfortunately.
