At one time, way back, when I was using sun for exposure, invariably clouds would come over while my emulsion was
drying, so I had to put the dried paper in a plastic bag and store it in the fridge till next sunny day, maybe a week later, and
found that to work reasonably well.
Today I did the opposite, sort of. For a demo on Vandyke, I accelerated drying of the demo print by sticking it in the
microwave. It worked great, except that my grad assistant almost died of shock. I had to assure him that the old trick came
from Ansel.
