Digital at Photo San Francisco

Digital at Photo San Francisco

2004-07-27 by michaelrosensf

Photo San Francisco, now in its fifth year, was a show and sale held in a large building 
in Fort Mason (a former Army installation) last weekend. This year, approximately 90 
photography galleries had booths.

Today I wish I had gone there looking for digital topics, but I didn't. Next year. 
However, two observations:

1. At the Etherton Gallery booth, along side the work by brilliant silver printers Gene 
Smith, Eikoh Hosoe, Joel-Peter Witkin and many others, there was digital work by 
Mark Klett. He's doing another 're-photography' series, this time on San Francisco.

I found Klett's tonal range rather compressed, both in color and grayscale, perhaps by 
his choice.

2. At the booth of the Seattle gallery representing Jock Sturges, they had his color 
work, which they called 'digital pigment prints'. They refused to include the word 
'inkjet' in the description, reserving that word for pix that will not last.

These are not inkjet prints but a form of the old dye transfer process.

If they are the same prints that just showed in (I presume) the same
gallery here in seattle, they are UC 9600 prints, made by the amazing
Tod Gangler who also does the process you mention, which is actually
tri-color carbro.
Outstanding examples of UC color prints.

Actually not dye transfer, but carbon... an even older process than dye.
Sheets of archival (very) pigments are photosensitized (dichromates) and
then exposed with separations. I've had a couple prints made by them,
and they are stunning.
