RE: Chromoskedasic Paining (was: Color Images from B/W Paper)

HI Christina,

It's the same article as far as I know. The only difference is that the
article's pictures and accompanying text don't seem to be on the on the
web--as far as I know. You're probably right in that he only mentions
developers, activators, stabilizers and fixers but I'll check anyway and try
to find out. I'm at work so I'll try to look around tonight for the article
and, if I'm lucky, I'll try and get it out by the end of the week. If there
isn't any additional info I'll let you know that too. BTW - The George L.
Smyth information that was given on this list looked really good as well.

Gerry

Well, Gerry, I'd be interested in the directions myself....in the article I
have, which I think is the same one you are talking about in Sci Am, there
is no mention of any technique except that he uses developers, activators,
stabilizers and fixers. Jolly's article in Photo Techniques gave actual
formulae. I think the web is much more forthcoming with technique. But if I

am missing a major portion of the article or a page or something, or it is
in a different article, please correct me and send it my way, too, maybe in
a jpg offlist?
Chris

Schuyler,

I have the original pages from the Scientific America article including the
photos. I just have to find it again. It was given to me in the early 90s
by a sculptor friend of mine who thought it would be of interest to me. (Yet
another technique I never got around to fooling with.) If you can't get a
back copy from your library, e-mail me and I'll scan it and make a pdf copy
of it for you. Some of his chemical techniques are described under the
photos, if I remember correctly, rather than in the article text itself,
which you can easily find on the Internet. The images are really unusual and
highly abstract.

Well, Michael (my brother) got back from the Heard Museum and gave me some
more details. The artist/biologist is Dominic Man-Kit Lam, and the process
is called chromoskedasic painting. Does anyone know of a site with examples
of his other others' work in this medium or other information regarding the
process? All I have found so far is referenced to a book of images he had
published.

Thank you, Loris! That was exactly what I needed.

It was named "lumen prints". Also with "lithprinting" you can get colors (in
the same image) with B/W papers.

Subject: Color Images from B/W Paper

A short while back, there was a long discussion on the list about a process
that used old B/W paper to make wonderfully colored images. My brother, who
is visiting for the holiday, mentioned knowing a fellow biologist who
stumbled across such a process a number of years ago in his lab, and I
wanted to show him some examples to see if it was the same thing.
Unfortunately, I can't find any of the old e-mails in my inbox or sites
among my saved favorites (or even remember what the process was being
called).

Could someone point me to a Website with examples of this type of work or
perhaps an article in one of the photography rags (I have a good collection
of View Camera, if that helps)?

Thanks!
