OK, I've seen Clay's prints and they dropped my jaw, if such an
expression exists. I'm not a gum printer but I have made a few
palladium prints and seen some really great pt/pd prints, and Clay's
gum over platinum prints are amazing. It is not immediately obvious
that there is extra color in there, but there is a mysterious depth
to the images that evidently comes from the color. Don't worry,
Clay, I won't try to make you reveal the secret. I'm plumb scared of
that bichromate stuff!
