Sandy, Mortensen being a particular interest of mine, I actually got
Netscape out of the barn and went to that website. It was the slowest
download I ever had (tho an admittedly slow modem & all), for what?
For the UGLIEST website I ever saw, for "art" that's like a guy who cuts
off his ear & says he's painting like Van Gogh. At least what I could
manage to download, would give Mortensen a bad name. As for the "secret
formulas" -- they're widely published, in Post-Factory, as well as in Luis
Nadeau's encyclopedia -- in PSA journal in past years. Among others I'm
sure, those just come immediately to mind.
The one thing the Phairis guy did that was clever was get the
"pictorialism" URL... sorry about that.
Judy
