Well I’m enjoying blind print exchanges so much I decided to participate in the Lith Print exchange as well. Of course, I have no idea where to start so I bought Dr. Tim Rudman’s definitive book on the process. He made it so easy to understand and allowed me to make a few decent prints.
Three prints will be going to Ukraine, Canada, and Moscow – I will also receive one from each place. I do hope my prints will be good enough for them.
My Bristlecone pine image on carbon was sent to Australia. I especially wanted it to be memorable to the person receiving my print since he’s a does a lot of alternative processing like I do. He told me he wanted to learn carbon printing and now he has something to look forward to.
Today, I finally receive my print from my “blind” trader. It was due in the end of November but apparently the person got a little busy. It’s an image of the ceiling from Sainte-Chappelle chapel from Paris, France and taken with a 50′s Yashica 635 TLR . It’s printed on Kentmere VC Select resin coated paper.
This story is so amazing and inspirational. She was a giant of photography and a significant discovery.
John Maloof found over 100,000 of her negatives in an antique auction with some rolls still un-developed! He then scanned and posted it on a photography site. The response he received was just outstanding – no surprise as Vivian’s photos are amazing.
