I'm thinking of getting my wife to buy me Gregory Heisler "50 Portraits". Saw a video of him discussing one of his photos, and the book sounds similar ( a discussion of how for each of the 50). Other than that temptation, my shelves are overloaded.

I have just returned from viewing Tim Rudman's prints at the Bang Wallop Gallery - which I recommend. Whilst there I treated myself to an interesting book by Linda McCartney on her sun prints, which I had no idea existed - an early Christmas present of course.
Sun Prints by: Linda McCartney ISBN 0-821227374 Neil.

Neil - Are Linda McCartney's prints just blue or toned cyanotypes; or does she use more than one process? I can't seem to find an authoritative description of the book - "mixing minerals" isn't terribly helpful!

I recently bought myself two books of Frederick H. Evans photographs as well as the latest book by RAX (as an addition to the previous two volumes.) Been thinking abiut sonething special for Christmas - Maybe some of Michael Kenna's or recent William Clift (Shiprock and Mt. Saint Michel)

Michael, Linda's book is more a portfolio of her work which is mainly blue Cyanotypes and normal Van Dykes. To my eye they all look un-toned but I could wrong. However, the images are good, unusual, and well worth looking at if you do either of these two alternative processes. Neil.

I wonder what films and format he uses? Some are lith-prints that appear in his books. |

Keith, IIRC this exhibition of Tim's work (all snow images) were all Vaux lith prints and were mounted in the square format so we did wonder if he used 6x6. What film used ? No idea - but the images were just superb :-) Neil.
