Hmm:
How about making the prints on POP and not fixing and tell your friends the
magic is in watching the image fade away before your very eyes. A less toxic
approach and one that was used not so long ago by lots of wedding
photographers frightened their proofs might end up as the real thing, also I
guess that it makes one less item to fight over when the divorce proceedings
begin.
So no chemicals, just some bright Australian sun, and you are in business

Dear Lloyd,
The reason you are a portraitist is because you love it. Even when you
are dancing around the studio beating out the flames you love it. Even when
you are sitting in the baby poser morosely working your way through your
second flagon of sweet sherry after the last of the screaming customers have
departed you love it. Even the bit where your bank manager crosses the
street to slap you is bliss....
I have finally figured out what to do to resolve the
negative-copyright-personal appearance rights question, and it is such a
simple technical matter that I am surprised that the resident experts of
what is after all a technical advice list have not reccommended it. Richard,
where are you ? Ryuji, are you asleep?
The answer is to simply lay in a stock of plated brass sheet, iodine,
bromine, and mercury - and take up classical daguerreotypy. I do hope I
spelled that right - why couldn't the business have been developed by
someone in a country with simple names. Like Fox or Talbot....
Think of it. One shot picture. One shot development. Product leaves
studio, money stays, let 'em do what they like with it. Lose your picture,
gotta come in for another one. Want extra copies for Christmas cards? Sit
down, this may take an afternoon. Got your money, Honey?
Never mind the Nervous Nellies who warn you about the effects of
mercury exposure. I've been exposed to it for 38 years in my trade and it
hasn't affected my ability to see a sort of a green halo around most
objects....
