Hi Raymond,
Just took possession of my contributors copy of Silvershotz
magazine. Clive Waring the publisher went to the recent Paris Photo exhibition
held in the Louvre. Here is a quotation from one of the gallery curators for
photography.
"There are no inkjet prints on display. Only B&W gelatine silver, salt,
platinum, carbon, gum bichromate,dye transfer, type C and Ilfochrome
photographs. The galleries being represented indicated that clients have not
been impressed with inkjet and are not willing to part with their money to
purchase them. As a result their intrinsic value is low and so too is their
resale value."
There were 88 exhibitors from 21 countries making up the show. Many of the most
prestigious galleries from Germany, Spain,,France,
Italy,Austria,Belgium,China,South
Korea,Japan,USA,Brittain,Denmark,Finland,Iceland,Norway and Sweden were there so
it was a good cross section.
So I am glad I never decided to go down that road with my fine art. There is
definitely a future with the photographic processes as far as fine art is
concerned.
Andy.

FOLLOWING IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM DR. JEFF ROWE ON PROCESSING WHICH MAY
BE OF INTEREST.
Following our discussion of some time ago on the sodium
bisulfite/sodium metabisulfite question, I contacted Sandy King on his
Pyrocat-HD formula (the staining developer that I prefer) and he has
now changed his formula
(http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/PCat/pcat.html) to sodium
metabisulfite

Subject: JPEG on the way out?
This is from PC World Brief.
JPEG Photo Format on Its Way Out?
Microsoft's new HD Photo format offers higher-quality images half the size of
JPEGs, company says.
Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service
Thursday, March 08, 2007 06:00 AM PST
Microsoft Corp. will soon submit a new photo format to an international
standards organization that it says offers higher quality images with better
compression, the company said on Thursday.
The format, HD Photo -- recently renamed from Windows Media Photo -- is taking
aim at the JPEG format, a 15-year old technology still widely used in digital
cameras and image applications.
Both formats take images and use compression to make the file sizes smaller so
more photos can fit on a memory card. During compression, however, the quality
of the photo tends to degrade.
Microsoft said HD Photo's lightweight algorithm causes less damage to photos
during compression, with higher-quality images that are half the size of JPEG.
The format can also accommodate "lossless" and "lossy" compression, two
methods of compressing photo data with different effects on image quality.
Microsoft said adjustments can be made to color balance and exposure settings
that won't discard or truncate data that occurs with other bitmap formats.
Although JPEG is aging, it has been modified to help keep it up to date. The
latest JPEG 2000 format features better image quality while also supporting
lossless and lossy compression. The original JPEG did only lossy.
Time will tell whether HD Photo can supplant JPEG by gaining the support of
printer, camera and application vendors. But Microsoft is supporting the format
in products such as its Vista and XP OSes and has already gained an important
vendor ally.
In the next two months, Adobe Systems Inc. and Microsoft will release a
plug-ins for CS3 and CS2 versions of its widely used Photoshop program for
Vista, XP and Apple Inc.'s OS X. Also, Microsoft also has built a HD Photo
Device Porting Kit so hardware manufacturers can support it.

Dear Raymond,
I would dearly love to be involved, but since I am still domiciled
outside
of Australia, it is just not possible. I think it is an excellent
project and
one that everyone should support.
Cheers,

Good morning, Bert: I have passed you encouraging message on to MelCam Pres.
Ross Penny who is co-ordinating. It is good to have your support. The direct
response to me has been disappointing so far. Perhaps a day could be set aside
in January. Certainly a task committee needs to be formed to get this rolling.
Your thoughts would be welcome.

HI Raymond,
I am personally supportive of your "A Day In The Australian Drought"
concept.
Have you had much response on it yet? Have you taken it up with any of
the State camera Club bodies yet?
We could also extend it to the members of the Australian Photographic
Society, about 1700 in numbers, some of which are also members of camera
clubs in Australia.
Please feel free to get back to me to discuss it in more detail.

I hope the Club can get behind the concept of "A Day In The Australian
Drought" with a view to mounting a major national exhibition, perhaps
even a book.
I think such a book could become an important historical record relating
to the current drought and national water crisis.
I suggest consideration be given to enlisting the support of camera
clubs around Australia to record the Drought in their States and
regions. Also enlisting the active support of Commonwealth and State
governments and instrumentalities, and agricultural and regional
municipal organisations.
What do other members think ???

Hello Raymond - Brilliant!
where did you hear of this idea? Is there an official website?
Are you addressing the next MCC Meeting so all Members can hear of this
opportunity? There will be a great crowd a the EOY Awards/Social.
when are you taking prints - what size, etc?
It is fantastic to see other members of (B&W) MCC getting behind worthwhile
causes and promoting photographic opportunities for our Members!
I look forward to your next update on "A Day In The Australian Drought" with a
view to mounting a major national exhibition, perhaps even a book.
Good on you Raymond!
