alright,
so i don't want to seem like an idiot, and i very well might with the following question. please remember, i'm a student.
anyway, so i was talking to a friend of mine the other day about different photo processes that i want to try, and i mentioned silver gelatin printing. she said 'isn't that what basic black and white is?' now up until then i was sure that silver gelatin was different. i've seen a lot of prints in books that beside them say 'silver gelatin print', and a lot of prints that don't say that. also, i went to alternativephotography.com and there was a silver gelatin gallery there, too. this also has led me to believe my friend is wrong.
so what's the deal with silver gelatin? i'd like to give it a shot, but if my friend is right, i've already had my hand in it.
can anyone shine some light on the subject?
thanks,
Steve
