> I am a photography student, and I subscribed to this list to learn
more about the ways of alternative processing, etc. I greatly enjoy
reading all of the comments, but, as I have had little experience with
this methods, am sometimes confused. I do not want to ask any of you to
explain it to me, since I'm sure that you have better things to do with
your time, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any books, web
sites, etc that I could use. Thanks!
Wayde Allen wrote back re "Keepers of Light" and I'd like to recommend
"The Silver Sunbeam" and to mention that this might be a nice time to
accrue a list of books important to us all. No matter what language.
I like the "Silver Sunbeam" because it was written as a technical
HISTORY in, I think, 1863. That is so far away from us now but it held a
very optimistic tone though hindered by a very Christian belief.
In the section on color photography, Heliochromy or something like that,
there ws expressed such an optimistic belief that one it'd be solved
primarily if we believed thoroughly in an omnicient force.
I mention this because of Erin's wonderfully honest interest in finding
out … in discovering how it (photography) came about to be. Every once
in a while those naive queries are a true delight.
Why, it remeinds of my clutch going out the other … but, that's another
tale not fitting for this group.
