I take it you are aware of the "New55 Project" that Bob Crowley has going? Sounds like you both are headed in the same direction. Bravo to that! I find your work intriguing and wish I had the brainpower to understand the chemical composition of reagents and such. Keep posting your experimental results. Fascinating stuff.

^ Thanks much my fellow polanoider. Funny you should mention Bob Crowey's website...I've been to his site many times over the years. He's done some excellent things to keep instant image making alive and vital. Another excellent site is the "20x24 studio" website. Where I tangent from Bob's course of study...is...I prefer the luminosity of transparencies and a donor sheet (negative) that doesn't require a lot of silver in it...so it can be discaded or recycled. Simular approaches...differe nt vision and a few less steps...I guess I'm just getting more layed back now. One thing to remember is...part of instant image making regent chemicals is just a thicken monobath. And I promise to post images when I've got something I like and can share with everyone that has interest in such things. It is rather neat stuff for sure ! ! Stay tuned and Good Health to you. From the desert of long shadows....John Gee

excellent, keep up the good work!

^ Way cool Jay...big mucho thanxs. It is indeed rather pleasing to see some experiments evolve to fruition within my own lifetime ;-) The process is alot like the bygone days of photographer's making and coating their own materials or artist of old that had to find and grind their own paints...it's part of their own uniqueness. Now...it's the uphill hike to improve the process and expand the vision. If you have any questions...I might be able to answer some. Again...thanks for the good stuff ( cool comments/favs) and your many visits. Motto: "Best on a wall for all to see than in a box" Good Health ! ! John
