Hello!
I have been out of the loop (and off the listserv) for a couple of years.
I am teaching an Alternative Processes Class this Fall. I feel fairly
confident about teaching the processes (though I will be reading the
listserv closely) but I need to bone up on the techniques for creating
enlarged negatives. I shoot and print 4x5 so the last time I made enlarged
negatives was 1990. Most recently I have taught Alt Pro classes in study
abroad programs where we had no darkrooms so my students either used
Xeroxed acetates or 4x5.
I have been doing a little reading but would like input from you. My texts
are dated so may not have the most recent practices ( I would also
appreciate recommendations for a text book). I am sure there are archived
discussions on enlarged negatives. If some one could point me to the
correct year, I would be happy to take it from there. Or, if you would tell
me directly what you do, I would be grateful.
I do remember some sort of RC paper that peels thus making great paper
negatives without waxing. I would be interested in that name.
I will be teaching Cyanotype, Van Dyke, Palladium, Kwik Print, Gum, as
well as a few processes that do not need enlarged negatives.
Thank you in advance for your input. I am glad to be back on the list.
All the best,
Ginger Sheridan
