Re: Anticipating the future
In August 1989 when I had finally had enough of the Great Yellow Fathers
twice yearly price hikes, I bought a bottle of liquid light and made
some prints. Later I explained to a friend that I was seeking an
alternate means to make pictures. (non silver) He told me about making
Gum Prints.
So I agree, for a different reason that the time is approaching for us
to develop an independence from the corporations that can not see the
value of keeping legacy processes alive.
I abandoned the liquid light approach to making negatives because the
outcome is unpredictable. And while I appreciate that there is some
value in chance, I find that I would prefer to have that chance be in
the final print.
So what about forming a group that would develop a repeatable product.
That team would need some physicists.
And maybe form a cooperative and buy used equipment to manufacture film.
