A suggestion about the term "soft resist," the only type of resist I have used. On beginning with the process over ten years ago and calling the Chemigram a Chemogram before I knew of Pierre or any others working with it, there were jars of Golden paint I was using so these were natural to use as a resist. As a resist this is able to be washed off immediately after immersing the paper with its resist in a chemical bath. This is a bit different from tape and varnish and so we might want to use the term "soft resist" to refer to material that stays "soft" and can be washed off of the paper in seconds or minutes. Doesn't diminish the beautiful works but a suggestion so we continue to build a vocabulary about our work that is as clear and defined as possible. Direct positive paper - interesting! We need to meet over some south-east Asian food and discuss this Rich and Doug - as soon as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058180378437995577.post-41002852752473695542014-02-01T22:00:51.227-05:002014-02-01T22:00:51.227-05:00So here's the deal on the paper: I used Ilford...So here's the deal on the paper: I used Ilford Direct Positive FB paper to make this chemigram. It was a sort of accidental discovery about a year ago--there happened to be a box in the paper area at Adorama here in New York--and I bought it knowing almost nothing about it. It comes out of the box and into the light a ghastly pink color, but this disappears once the chemigram cycle progresses. The main advantage of Direct Positive FB seems to be its capacity for brilliant whites when it interacts with fixer. The chocolatey browns are a kind of bonus...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967544665694237944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058180378437995577.post-70714721354366451962014-01-22T08:39:28.604-05:002014-01-22T08:39:28.604-05:00Rich, people have been asking me what kind of pape...Rich, people have been asking me what kind of paper you used, so I'm asking the same of you.

It was all done in such a rush before leaving for SE Asia just before Xmas that some of the details are hazy.
