timothy Posted April 3, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2007 Here is the correct link. Here is an excerpt from the article: "For the last few years, in an underground lab at the Getty Conservation Institute here, Mr. Stulik and a group of assistants have been working on what might be described as the genome project of predigital photography: a precise chemical fingerprint of all the 150 or so ways pictures have been developed since an amateur scientist named Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made what is believed to be the first one on a piece of pewter near Chalon-sur-Saône, France, in 1826." Since New York Times articles are time-sensitive, I save them or mail them to myself as PDFs (if you're on a Mac simply select "File" > "Print" > "PDF" > "Save As PDF..." or "Mail PDF").

luigi bertolotti Posted April 3, 2007 Share #6 Posted April 3, 2007 Interesting... even if I am always amazed when "a man with a mission" find the way to live on it : "only in America..." ; after all, the chemical components of pictures have all been weel known for alle the XX sec. and part of the XIX... lot of books, manuals, papers, etc were published during those times; I would not be surprised if making spectrography to a photo printed in, say, Italy in the '30s, you find chemical elements quoted in the "manual of photo formulas" published by Hoepli in Milano in 1925...

kbingman Posted April 7, 2007 Share #8 Posted April 7, 2007 Question: Are any Leica shooters on the forums doing alternative process printing? Platinum/pladium. Albumen. Gum bichromate. Lith prints. Etc. Actually, yes. I have been doing quite a few platinum/palladium prints lately and also some cyanotypes. Of course with the Leica, you have to enlarge the negatives, and the best way for me has been with an Epson 2200 and something called Spectral Density negatives, basically just a colored negative that blocks whatever wavelength the process is sensitive too. I usually use my M6, with Fuji Acros 100, but recently got an M8 and have used that as well. Still, if I am going to go to the trouble of doing a platinum print, I guess I should stick to film. But it's nice to have a choice! Keith Bingman http://keithbingman.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy Posted April 7, 2007 Share #9 Posted April 7, 2007 Keith, Rather than starting a discussion on digital negatives in this thread, I've decided to create a new thread, "Digital Negatives: Silver Printing and Alternative Processes." I've quoted you to continue our dialogue, so you'll definitely want to visit the new thread. Timothy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Metroman Posted April 13, 2007 Share #11 Posted April 13, 2007 Link doesn't work? Regards, Bill Apologies for that Bill but I was dialled into my system at home from the Falklands and the line dropped before I could correct the link. Telcomms there haven't changed that much since 1982. Cable & Wirless provide the telecomms via satellite and the ADSL service is a massive 256kbps download/128kbps upload!
