Well I'll be! Stuff a print frame and a couple of kiddies under the light
bank.
What you can't learn in alt-photography.
Just as an aside, I've been in engineering and related science fields most
of my life. I have seen many engineering problems solved by some *trivial*
bit of knowledge dredged up from some deep mental recess. Alt-photography
is really just another form of engineering. The flip side is that
engineering is art. Any engineers disagree?
The engineering aspect of alt-photography is especially important for those
working to invent new forms but not be ignored for those who are trying to
improve old ones, and who isn't trying to improve their technology.
Engineers are forever stuffing little bits of *trivia* into their heads.
Hell, it's trivia until it has a use, and engineers put it to use.
I am just blown away by the geniuses of the past. Daguerre, Herschel,
Willis, Land, Mannes and Godowski, all were great engineers. Ever read a
description of how color polaroid works. I still don't believe it.
