Default Houston Area Alt-process (and stuff) Gathering October 28

I sort of hijacked that other thread, so I thought I ought to start a new one, and apologize.

So here is the deal:

We have done these twice before. The format is basically spending an afternoon looking at everyone's work. In the interest of brevity, we generally try to limit the number of prints to half a dozen, but with the understanding that anyone at any time can bring out a gazillion prints to share with someone one-on-one away from the main group. In the past, the processes represented have been monochrome, gum, tri-color gum, gum over platinum, bromoil, Rawlins oil, photogravure, and some others I have probably forgotten.

I will post more specifics later, but in general, it goes from noon until 5 or six, and involves food and drink.

I'm still deciding what process we can demo.

Thanks!

Clay

PS Please let me know if you are thinking of attending.

I'd love to see some carbon printing demoed

I already sent you an email, Clay, but I'm planning on attending if I can get someone to cover my lab duties that Saturday.

No apology needed Clay, that was what the thread was for..to see if any like minded folks wanted to get together to cuss/discuss/shoot/etc.

Since I haven't the time at present to pull something together this is very welcome. Sounds like a bit like a Platapus Party a la Bostick&Sullivan, but Texas style. If work schedule allows, hope to be there.

Default Hey Clay

Glad to see the post and continuation of Houston meetings.
Wish I could be there perhaps next time.
Getting settled in Monroe, LA and will contact you directly later.

So how about the Monroe, LA area, any others in this area that would like to have a meeting?

Rocky

Any objections if I show up without any prints, as I don't do alt. process? I'll just lurk in the back and be very quiet!

Come on! These things are always fun because you get to see some work and processes that are really interesting. I'll post more specifics later this weekend.

Besides that, some consider Silver printing alternative....sure would be a let down to not see some of your work since I missed it during the workshop in May.

Now if we can get lee and David to come you get the TCP too!!

It is shaping up to be a nice gathering. I think it looks like maybe a dozen or so people are going to try to make it. Heck, we will even have a surprise 'celebrity guest' alt-process printer from Montana!
