Bob:

First of all, as I sit here w/the to children in from various portions of
the country or out of college, and Diane has prepared her usual and
wonderful Christmas Day breakfast . . you know, apple-turkey and
cherry-chicken sausages w/seasoned scrambled eggs, fresh tangerine juice w/a
lovely fresh baked apple crunch cake and a fresh ground latte w/hazelnut
liquor . . . and we opened our presents of socks and fun toys and shirts and
perfumes and soaps and calendars and incense and . . . . you know . . .
and, so we all wish your family great happiness.

But, on to other things such as the cyanotype negative. I too thought we
needed the contrasty neg for the prussian blue prints but in my last go
round w/the students such a dense and somewhat contrast laden negative
worked best w/salt prints whereas a somewhat dense but normal contrast neg
worked best for blueprints.

I ask, what the heck? So, just ho contrasty is contrasty when you say a neg
w/contrast?

Cheers
and again
a lovely holiday and new year celebration
