Pinhole and lith printing - A natural complement?

Hi everybody!

Really this has been busy times for me lately. But, it seems I just
can't stop... I received last week my first Lith Printing kit and I
just had to try it on some of my favorite negatives. What a discovery!
To me Lith Printing is a natural complement to pinhole.

I've loaded a picture at

Comments welcome!

Anybody else does lith printing on this list? I'd be happy to hear and
share experiences.

Cheers,

Guy

P.S. Lith Printing is a special B&W printing process using specific
types of paper and a specific type of paper developer. The paper is
massively overexposed under the enlarger and processed in highly diluted
developer for very a long period of times (from 8 to 30 minutes, with
constant agitation...). The print turns in shades of colors and yields
very different contrasts ranges in the highlights and the shadows.
Something like split toning, but different, all taking place at the
developer stage.
