Pure Black,, Pure White, No Grays? Yes indeed.

2009-04-07 by AlanScharf

Back in the darkroom days, I had a lot of creative fun with the use of lithographic film. In spite of the unique and sometimes amazing images, litho effects are rarely seen today. Classic lithos are black and white, but color does creep into some of the variants.

I recently put together an article titled "The Litho Legacy," at:
http://www.ramblingdave.com/wordpress/?page_id=506
or just by Googling "The Litho Legacy" (with the quotes).

At the same site you will find a shorter article, "The Case for Black and White."
