DEAR RICHARD,
An off list question: When, around 1971, at RIT I took my graduate
level course, also titled, "Theory of the Photographic Process" taught by
Dr. T. H. James, we used the Mees and James version of the book. I noticed
that you usually site the Mees version. Is there a reason you prefer that
version to the later Mees and James? I
I'm not sure that the later version has as complete a summary of
Loyd Jones work in it. There was a lot of advancement between the
"revised" edition, really the second edition and the third which is
the one edited by Dr.James. Mees had retired and died before the
third edition was published. There is also a fourth edition, which
according to Ryuji Suzuki is closer to modern chemical understanding
but has errors in it, or maybe its the third he meant. Ryuji is
seldom specific about things like th errors, he just drops bricks but
he is nonethess usually right.
Notes from Dr James lectures would certainly be valuable. I
suspect you could post them on your web site. As you know Dr. James
took over as director of Kodak labs when Dr. Mees retired.
