RE: yet another 2 cents on" Food for thought"

that sounds like a great idea....We're hosting a 5 day Gum Bichromate
workshop this weekend being taught by Scot McMahon, a noted PinHole
Photographer. I'll print this out & pass it on to him & see if he has any
ideas...
neat stuff!

Had an idea while driving halfway across the priairies last weekend -
Calgary to Saskatoon...

I was stuck by how what I was seeing was big swatches of single colors.
Big reddish sky, big dark blue clouds huge green fields, long black
strip of road heading off into infinity.

I'm working with large pinhole black and white negatives, but I'm struck
by the color, and I'm beginning to work again with gum bichromate. One can
build an image by printing repeatedly with different pigments and
negatives on same paper.

I could make multiple false color seperation negs. One neg for the sky
printed red, one neg for clouds printed dark blue one neg for green
fields, one for the road etc.

I can make a multicolor image where I print different parts of the image
in different colors (of my choice).

Should be able to create the mutliple negs with a computer.

Next to impossble without a computer.

Gord
