..He did, and I believe that last year they even made a Holywood movie
about him (lots of blood and murders I guess ;-) ), didn't see it though
 Although I'am "young" I heard of him (and seen his work in books)..
I remember a photograph of him, sitting in his giant booth of his car,
which was also his darkroom..

.just to add a little bit; I remember a RIT publication where is stated
that black E6 film (the first part of your slide film, exposed and
processed) can be used as a IR filter, it will pass IR light (I checked
that with a spectrophotometer, it's correct). Th suggestion: tape this
black film on your strobe: voila a IR strobe!.. But beware, I also recall
that it caused a exploded flash tube, because of the heat of the strobe
which could not "move away" (clumsy description, don't no better right
now) Maybe WJ can fill in...

..and last but not least, we have the third artist, Robert Long, his colr
IR shot of a Lily is on show now! Check it out, and consider submitting!
