Mixed bag of goodies

In this newsletter we have a mixed bag of goodies. There is the photopolymer overview from David Hoptman, inspiring you to make some! Arrigo Mamone shows a different way of working in heliogravure and Elizabeth Graves reviews a very interesting book. And finally, if you are anywhere near London, UK in October, don't miss the alt. proc. show there!

Photopolymer gravure - the why's

David Hoptman argues for using the process to get "hands on" photography work done, ideally combined with Photoshop.

Heliogravure

Arrigo Mamone shows an alternative working method in heliography, preparing his own pigment paper.

Book Review: Photography and the Invisible 1840 - 1900

Elizabeth Graves reviews a book of inspiring alternative process images with a surprising emphasis.

Hand-made photographs in the digital age

If you happen to be going to London in October, there is an alternative photography exhibition well worth a visit.

Six photographers working with pigment printing processes will be showing their work at the Clifford Thames gallery from 16 October to 15 November 2009. This exhibition will also include work by the inventor of the Temperaprint process, Peter Fredrick who recently passed away - a great loss to the alt photo community. Read more.
