The print method that most caught my eye at the AIPAD
show in NY was "bromoil". I've heard the term over the
years, but have no idea what's involved in it.
(Although I'm sure it involves at least 41 steps, and
it probably involves caustic chemicals longed banned
by the EPA). But whatever it is, it is a BEAUTIFUL
process.

If you could come even remotely close to that look,
you'd be on to something. And not to mention the
Cyanotypes or VanDykes.

I have a closely-guarded book called PhotoHistorica,
from the British Something of Photography, and it's a
Masters Class in all these techniques. I like to
snuggle up with it, with a glass of Merlot, and a
candle, in my little footie pajamas, and go back to a
different age.

Here's the URL. You'll have to cut and paste the wrap:
