Greg there's also the possibility of shared darkroom space... look on
bulletin board of places like Duggal, or even ads in PhotoDistrict
News... Used to be a lot in areas like Dumbo, etc. but probably
gentrified now.

Basically "alt" is what this list says it is, except digital -- that's
mainstream but nobody can resist it, so what are ya gonna do? Which is to
say, sure gravure is alt. The drawback (other than how *difficult* it is
to do really well, or so I understand) is that you need a press...
aggravating your workspace problem.

A suggestion, if I may -- folks seem to get better answers and more info
if they ask finite and specific questions, rather than broad and general
questions (tho you probably knew that). You can always come back for
more.
good luck,
Judy
