Doing digital?

We all use computers, I'm in front of one now, and so are you. Isn't it fantastic to be able to combine one of the earliest photographic processes with the latest? I'm talking about making a digital negative that is then made to make a cyanotype or other alternative process print. So, the article on how to make a digital negative has been updated, there is a glossary and also a book draw for "Creative Ditgital Photography". And, also... 5 new artists presenting their work.

And... today is the last day to get the pre-press discount on Alternative Processes Condensed. Read more.
