Robert you have been a true inspiration yourself! Thank you for all collaboration in the past – and hopefully the future too!
When Malin contacted me in 2000 about using some of my cyanotypes in her thesis, I was happy to send her some and very impressed with her thesis (and its inclusion of my cyanotypes) which she sent me. Then she created the website Cyanotypes.com which I joined and later AlternativePhotography.com when her website branched out to include other 19th Century printing processes. She has been very generous to use some of my cyanotypes in her books, and always posts my current workshop information. It is an honor to be a part of AlternativePhotography.com and have my work promoted there. Happy 21st Birthday to Alternative Photography, Malin. I look forward to future work with it and you!
Great! Thanks for your feedback!
I keep coming back to your website for years and every time I find something inspirational. Long live the analogue world, Happy Birthday and thank you for being there!
