I'm reading an article Les Myers sent me (from Online Photographer) about
Voja Mitrovic. Here is an interesting statement by Peter Turnley: " It
was also a time when the highest quantity of silver was in printing papers.
Voja has indicated that there are certain qualities of richness in gray
tonal values that he could never achieve with today’s papers, that he was
able to obtain in the late 'seventies and early 'eighties.
Do any of you know which of today's papers are higher in silver content?
or most like the older papers he may have been referring to? He didn't
say specifically which papers he liked using, but did refer to the change
(down) at the introduction of multi-grade papers.
Here is a link to the article, if you're interested. I found it most
interesting to find that many of the "greats" didn't do their own
printing. That's not what I'd have imagined. Anyway, I have enjoyed it,
and hope you do, too.
