[pure-silver] Re: William Mortensen's Glycin Developer

Mortensen liked more development to put the image on the film vs. more light 
and less development.  I read once where Mortensen said he would develop the 
film until right before the emulsion floated off of the film base.

  In reading through William Mortensen's book _Monsters and Madonnas_ I 
  found the following developer formula:

  Water    1 gallon
  Sodium Sulfite   2.5 oz
  Glycin    1/2 oz.
  Sodium Carbonate   2.5 oz

  For the example photo in the book, Johan The Mad, Mortensen developed 
  Agfa Ortho Film Pack 1931 for 2.5 hours. I'm assumming that he used 
  stand development.  I'm including this formulat since the book itself is 
  quite rare.
