General Discussion

underappreciated by many in our world today made up of so much video. I had the pleasure many years ago of working with a man who did illustrations for a weekly publication. Marvelous person and the ability to create works of anything a person could think about. I also lament the loss of appreciation for the art of the printer. I don't know if you remember a magazine called "GEO" from back in the '70's/'80's time period. Absolutely jaw dropping quality in print of tremendous photographs. To master the translation of the exposures, through the color selection process and then have the highest skilled pressman keeping everything exactly in register and tone was a joy to see.

I'm the one who buys the old books that show the bookbinder's talent. I recently bought a couple of more or less "forgotten" works by photographer Larry Fink. All black and whites on high quality stock and nicely bound. One is of the period of the unrest in the '50's and '60's and the other is of early days of Andy Warhol and the Factory mixed with a few of city scenes from the times. Some rare shots of the Vietnam Moratorium marches. One in particular stands out with the Washington Monument standing tall in the background of the huge crowd.
