Re: [pinhole-discussion] Anyone seen any interesting work lately?Thank you Ray. I shall contact them, I assume Toray plate works in the same way. I can ask Toray Europe about it. Thank you again Alexis Alexis - My pleasure. When you talk to them, make sure you ask about the printed handout for printmakers. I persoanlly like Toray plate better then Solar Plate and I love Solar Plate. The Toray plate is fun because it is so easy to work with. Press your thumb into the plate and it will print. Rub it with an eraser and it will print. Run a pencil across it and it will print. It can be a lot of fun because of this. I might point out that you NEVER use etching ink with Toray plates. You must use litho ink. I apologize for not offering to send the handout but this building of our second art center has everything so confuseed around this, I am lucky I can find my desk. If they do not have it, let me know and I will find a copy for you. It answers all your questions.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Anyone seen any interesting work lately?
Gallery openings are always exciting and i could not wait to see this one at the French Institute Alliance Francaise. I loved the esplanade du louvre by Richard Ballarian in the lobby. Then we entered the gallery and on the right was the rest of Ballarian's work. All I can say is that it was a bit abstract for me. On the left wall of the gallery was Robert Mann's work. I usually like his photography but this body of work was not my cup of tea. Dead Ahead was Ian Paterson's photographs; his work always excites me. The first time I viewed a piece by Ian as when I lived in Montreal and he showed photography done with a shoebox. I was not into pinhole at the time but loved what he was doing. His photos of little bridges of Paris at the Alliance were about 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, contact-printed and hand-tinted. They were mounted in large mats. It was magical; they were like little jewels. The show is on at the Alliance until January 6, 2002. Salut et bonsoir, Mickey a happy life is made up of many happy moments

Hi Eric, Congratulations on you show. Please send us more, it's very nice indeed! Joao
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Anyone seen any interesting work lately?
There is an exhibit of photographs by Henry P. Bosse at the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. Bosse was an German-born engineer, surveyor and draftsman who worked for the for the Corp of Engineers on the Upper Mississippi from the late 1870s through the early 1900s. He produced a remarkably accurate set of maps covering the area between Minneapolis and St. Louis that guided river pilots until locks and dams were built in the 1930s. He also photographed extensively along the entire upper river using an 11x14 view camera. His images are mostly impeccably composed landscpapes recording towns, bridges and the power of the river as it interacts with the newly created civilization that used the watercourse as its main highway. Many images of steamboats and work on the river are also part of his photography. Nearly all of the images are contact-printed cyanotypes, which makes sense for a working surveyor and draftsman travelling in a riverboat. Most are printed as ovals, which perhaps makes them seem quaint to us now, but must have presented a compositional challenge to Bosse. His work was unknown until a volume owned by relatives and then given to a neighbor surfaced about ten years ago. When auctioned at Sotheby's, the high quality of the work immediately placed Bosse as one of the great 19th century photographers. A second volume of his work was found in the pilot house of a river dredge, where it had been in a drawer since 1937. The Around 1972, I played a bit part on the first environment impact study of the upper river. My job was to use a planimeter to measure the surface of the river on some old navigation maps and then again on the latest ariel-photographed navigation charts. The idea what to find differences between the free-flowing river and the series of pools that it has become today. A true delight for me at the Bosse exhibition was to discover that this remarkable engineer/photographer produced the maps I worked with nearly thirty years ago. Try this link; but be warned: The slideshow takes a painfully long time to load over a dail-up line. http://webcampus3.stthomas.edu/mjodonnell/bosse/exhibit.html - Original Message - From: Kate Hudec hu...@rcn.com To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

I'm on a digital art list, and they recently had a viewing of work to select some pieces to be displayed on a web site.
