Re: non-silver photogram? or silver b/w paper?
Emily - This is a little of a long shot and hopefully you will obtain better
information elsewhere, but FWIW a well-known (here at least) Florida
photographer named Clye Butcher routinely does b&w silver prints in the 4,
5, and 6 foot range. I have no idea how, but he and his wife Nikki (sp?)
are very nice people and if you contact them I suspect they would provide
you with information about paper sources, methodology, etc. I don't have an
e mail address handy but his web site is www.clydebutcher.com. He also
conducts workshops occasionally. Brian
