Re: Introductory teaching materials
Chicago Albumen Works (info@albumenworks.com) sells silver chloride
printing-out-paper that can be handled in subdued room light. The students
can make photograms by leaving objects on the paper on windowsills. No
chemicals are needed if they keep the photograms in notebooks and don't mind
a slow darkening of the image that occurs each time it is viewed. The sheets
of POP can also be fixed in paper strength fixer but in that case they need
to be overexposed to an olive-green solarization in the shadows because
fixing bleaches somewhat. The students can draw on tracing paper and make
contacts of that and bring filmstrips from home to contact.
