someone correct me if I am wrong here, but I cant recall which magazine it
was, either View Camera, or Camera Arts , but there was an article done on
Sally Mann's works , and I paraphrase here, but she used a 8X10 camera set up
on cinder (concrete )blocks to hold the camera steady, used old soft
portrait lenses that many of the old studios were discarding( Verito
Professionals maybe (?) ) and if memory serves me , she toned her prints in a
dilute mixture of brewed teas/coffees, to give the prints a sepia effect,
anyone else recall this anecdote ?
