There's that bad word. It sneaks in everywhere.

There's that bad word. It sneaks in everywhere.

Judging by my last trip to Borders, they won't put a book on the Photography shelf without that word in the title.

Hey take courage guys...here are the rules for the Agfa contest:

* only photographs taken on black-and-white film
* printed on black-and-white photographic paper
* no digital pictures
* no uploads
* no prints on color paper
* no prints on inkjet paper
* no slides

Be fair folks: Tim Rudman has published more for us chemical junkies over the years than any other author. One chapter in one book ain't gonna kill anybody...

Yeah, I thought the Agfa rules were very fair: doesn't even have to be Agfa film or paper!

Cheers, Bob.

Sorry, my first thought was why would I go through the motions of becoming a master lith printer and enter my pictures next to ink jet prints?

 

[Aggie]

Does he at least give you a copy of the book, if you are included?

Thanks for the posting Sean. I'm not a lith printer myself but I have read some of Tim's writings on the subject and find it a fascinating area. Some day I'd like to try it. In the meantime, it's great to have access to a site where an author you have read and admire asks for entries.
