Re: More from D'Arcy Power

Guy,

In the Photo Miniature issue, D'Arcy Power, between pages 542 and 544,
refers to plates XVI through XIX which were nowhere to be found in the
interlibrary loaned photocopy I made the .pdf file from. The last page
I've got is 551. If you have the actual original print, are they
anywhere to be found in there? If so, I'd really like to update the
file.

As for making them available on CafePress, with a basic (free) shop
you only get one of each type of product, and I've already my book "The
Pinhole of Nature" up there. (Thanks to both of you who bought it.) If
anyone else wants to create a basic shop and assemble these pdf's,
they're already in the public domain.

I've got a couple more articles that I got on interlibrary loan, but
they were really terrible copies that I couldn't get cleaned up very
well, but maybe now with 16 bit processing in the new Photoshop, I'll
take another crack at them.
