Hi All,
I was wondering how many of us have turned to ``Alternative
Photography``because some processes allow greater manipulation of camera
image detail at the printing stage. Gum, Bromoil, Oil, etc., Strangely
enough it seems that there is an effort in trying to achieve ``straight``
results inspite of the difficulties and problems encountered by these
chemical processes. Print manipulation has becomes more apparent and
accepted now that we are in the digital age when photographic images can be
changed electronically with ease. Personally, my own aspirations were towards
abstract drawing and painting when photography stepped in and was welcomed to
add a further aspect of representation from the environment that I wished to
use. What percentage of alt photo workers on this list are using photo
processes as an extention of their graphic drawing and painting design
skills and not as just another way of producing a photographic print which
may or may not be more archival?
Thanks to all for being there.
