Greetings Tom Story (and the group)

I'm your neighbor from down south in L.A. Welcome to the list... I'm fairly
new on the list myself. I'm envious of your alt process work since I've been
out of it for a while. When doing alt processes, I was doing only small negs
(4x5) in cyano, gum bi, and Polaroid Tranfers. Did a lot of wishful thinking
about platinum/palladium but never did anything about it (don't pity me,
however, it's my own fault since Bostick & Sullivan is practically in my
backyard!)

I've always had a keen interest in daguerroetypes - collecting and studying
the technology. Could you please tell us more about your work with making
dag's. I've thought about making dag's and ambro's but haven't experimented
yet.

Thanks,
Brian (shaw@courier3.aero.org)
