Pleased to hear that last thing John - I'd wondered how you were getting
on.
The heliochrome is no longer on sale. Partly at least I think because he
considers it too primitive. I'll bring heaps of hot coals down on my head
from both Dunstan and the gum mandarins by saying it produced results that
looked rather like gums.
The latest work has I think been in a number of shows and awards; he is
printing for quite a few very well-known UK photographers in
fashion/advertising etc.
He has invested a lot of time and effort in the development of the
process. I was really impressed by the work I saw. It is available on
exactly the same basis that Fresson has always been - you need to take
your work to him and pay for the print. I think in every other respect
they are probably superior to Fresson, though I suspect that kind of look
could be created using this process.
