I too, miss David Vestal's columns. He was the main reason I purchased the publication. Do you remember when he used to mail out his newsletter "Grump"? My sentiments likewise about Photo Techniques. I still have some back issues that I am loathe to discard. I really miss David Vestal's columns and wish they were available on-line somewhere. I was in e-mail contact recently with the new editor, and she promised "new exciting things" for the magazine. But the latest copy I saw - I forget which edition - was full of digital this and that. -----Original Message----- From: shannon Stoney <shannonstoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: pure-silver <pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, Nov 1, 2011 8:28 am Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Endings and Beginnings I bought the most recent one the other day b/c it had a great article about cyanotype. I made a successful digital negative for the first time in my life based on that article; it was Clay Harmon's workflow. Granted, a digital negative is digital, but mine was based on a silver negative, scanned. Also there was an article about Kate Breakey's handpainted silver prints, and an article about a new kind of printing out paper. --shannon On Oct 31, 2011, at 7:26 PM, Les Myers wrote: My sentiments likewise about Photo Techniques.

I held out as long as I could as a subscriber, but the overwhelming percentage of digital articles resulted in "why bother?" for me. Sad, since I've been with them for close to two decades, since the old C&D days. As luck would have it, the gear section in this (Nov/Dec) issue featured Ilford Multigrade Art 300 paper. http://www.harmantechnology.com/DotNetNuke/News/tabid/Blog/tabid/60/Default.aspx?tabid=60&EntryID=48 Wondering if anyone here (besides Tim Rudman, who gave a testimonial) has tried this, and what you think of it.
