Subject: new to list

I just subscribed, and would like to say hello, and introduce myself to
the list.
 
I've been a painter and printmaker for many years, and viewed
photography as more of a hobby. I shot primarily 35 mm and had a simple
"bathroom darkroom" i'd set up a couple of times a year. Last year
brought a turning point though, when i married " a man with a darkroom
and a large format camera ", and now i find myself lurking at alt
photography sites and having dark thoughts of coating all my printmaking
and other fine art papers with light sensitive concoctions. ok... i've
admitted it. here i am.
 
processes i'm especially interested in are gum bichromate and
photogravure. I'm smitten with the look of both, and they seem suited
to my skills in painting and printmaking. I've been doing a lot of
reading, including the archives here, and i'm now ready to start
ordering some supplies and getting set up. The learning curve is steep!
one of my first tasks is to build a UV exposure unit. Any advice about
that would be appreciated, as would the latest information about buying
the G35 carbon tissue ( do i have to buy a whole roll? yikes $$$$ ).
 
Thanks for all the information i've already gotten from the archives
here. I'm looking forward to joining in.
 
all the best,
Susan Daly Voss
