Re: A pinhole classic

Hi George

It's that time factor that has held me back from venturing into
alt-processes but I do intend to give myself the opportunity later this
year. It's a natural corollary to pinhole. I used to experiment with
non-photo print techniques so the territory is not all alien and it's
something I find interesting. I don't know what they are like but relatively
cheap starter kits such as these
http://www.freestylephoto.biz/sc_main.php?cat_id=102 may be a good way in?
I'm most attracted to gum bichromate but may have a bash at some van dyke
browns first.
