Very interesting guy and THE guru of photographic printing and reproduction.

If you don't have his book (or even if you do), check out his new website...

If you are around New York, his show at the Pace/MacGill gallery opens today as well.

Cheers,
Gary

Gary, Thank you!!

In that website is the most clear explanation of carbon-printing I've ever watched (it's a video).

I listened to a lot of this yesterday while futzing around the house. There are 8 hours of video here! Very interesting speaker with a wealth of knowledge and some definite opinions, but the credentials to back them up.

I would like to see some of his prints. He doesn't talk about his own work on that site, but he has developed some unique printing techniques. He is now using an ink jet printer which he has modified so he can pass the paper through several times in register.

Cheers,
Gary
