Digital BW, The Print

You hippie. I bet you and Henry wore Earth Shoes too and grew your own herbs.

There is a funny bio video on the Luminous Landscape site with Wilhelm where he discuses how he got started selling those archival print washers out of his house where he put them together. The police in Grinell Iowa hauled him off to jail for running a business out of his home. He took it to court finally and won, citing the evidence that if people could give music lessons out of their homes he should be able to make and sell print washers. So he won and kept selling them.

We think of him as establishment now, but in his early days he was a rebel, and willing to go to jail for print washers :- )).
