I think Brooks Jensen joked in an article called something like "100 rules for photography" that no interesting photographs have ever come from uranium salts. He was being tongue-in-cheek, but it is true that it seems like a very difficult process to master. I've seen a couple of uranium prints in person, all very red, very contrasty.
Other than the frisson of working with uranium and the novelty of doing such an exotic process, out of curiosity, what's the attraction of uranium printing?
Hmmm...other than the novelty of it, I do see possibilities with the process. I am extremely new to it and still feeling it out. The lack of information is probably what led me to experiment with it in the first place, and now that I have a (not insubstantial) investment in the chemistry, I guess I'll keep playing around with it to see what it can do. I do think the tonal characteristics of the uranium lends the process a feeling of depth not unlike platinum, but so far no where near the control.
