Yes, I remember the story, and the person was from Portugal. Carlos *&^^&???

Sandy,
Hi,
That person was Carlos Gasparinho, who introduced me to Platinum printing,
3 years ago.
Unfortunately, he continues to be the only portuguese person I know that
has knowledge about this matter.

Tibães is a small place near Braga in the north of Portugal that has an
amazing old monastery that I firs visited some years ago to admire a Sally
Mann exhibition . It really deserves a visit, but you can find many other
beautiful places in this region.
Sometimes the fresh vision of a foreigner can teach us to appreciate in
a better way our own country.
Bring loads of film with you !
Please let me know if I can be useful in your next visit to Portugal. :-)
Regards,
Manuel
