Technical Notes
|
|
| Minor White when asked to explain his technical approach to
photography stated simply, "The camera was faithfully used." |
|
| For the past fifteen years I have used a Pentax 2 1/4 x
2 3/4 format camera mounted on a Gitzo tripod and Fujichrome
Provia 100 transparency film. I do not own nor do I use filters
other than a polarizer. For the past two years I have been printing on Fujicolor
Crystal Archive paper which is considered to be the most archival/permanent
(80 years) commercially available material to date. |
|
| Cibachrome is a color reversal paper which allows the
user to print directly from slides. Until the introduction of Fujicolor Crystal
Archive paper it was the most archival paper on the market. |
|
| Dye Transfer is a graphic arts process which requires
separation negatives and a gelatin matrix or matte material to transfer
liquid dyes from a tray to the paper. Very time consuming and costly process
which is now obsolete since the primary manufacturers of the materials and
are no longer making them. |
|
| Pigment Transfer is a four layer process in which the pigments
are transferred from pigment sheets to the print area via adhesion baths
and pressure. These prints are no longer being made as they were extremely
labor intensive requiring costly materials and separation negatives, plus
a very high loss rate. |
