That's Beautiful, David !

I think we'll have to do an episode of the Film Photography Forecast
about the salted paper process. We'll be in touch !

Thanks for the comments Ron, Marianne, ghostcount, and John. Ron & John: I still need to figure out some things and get more experienced, but then I'd be happy to talk about what I've learned so far!

I was at the Met recently, looking at some Fox-Talbot's. This captures the mood in those. Beautiful print. And the cut corners are another Fox-Talbot reminder.

I just read this: "Internegative on Kodak 2430 dupe film developed as gently as I could." Wouldn't that give you another positive?

I guess it would if I processed for reversal, but I just made a projection enlargement from the positive slide, so it was ready for contact printing with just the single intermediate. BTW, many of my salt prints were contact prints from this same roll of aerographic film, shot in-camera.

Aerographic film. I haven't heard that expression in decades. Some of those films were quite large. I've seen B&W roll films that were at least 8 inches wide, back in the 60s. I assume you're speaking of something smaller? Was it a Kodak film? Excuse me for being so inquisitive. I used to work in the aerospace industry, and I'm fascinated by the technical as much as the esthetic.
