<<  - Name: Mimi Garten
  
  - Profession/Study:  Poetographer, Artist, teacher
  
  - Country:  American living abroad since 71, last 8 years in
 Switzerland
	  
  - Personal history of photography: Between my partner and myself we
 managed to almost use to death 7 Canon bodies and almost every FD lens.
 Love the A-1s. In the 70's I made slide shows to tell personal stories
 combining spoken text, music (Stockhausen toJean-Luc Ponty and
 J.Garbarek) and color and B/W slides.  In the 80's we tried primitive
 wilderness living for many years but ran out of money for film and
 cassettes.  The 90's are momentarily financially secure enough that we
 took the plunge into 6x6...very wide or very long lenses.  I do
 landscapes because I just can't kick the habit and I love "The Tree" and
 many cloud formations that free the fantasy, but my prime 
 interest is the human body...beautiful ones...beautiful can be very
 wrinkly old or smooth and young, eyes, hands, faces that are looking and
 thinking.  My partner has a few years of IR experience under his belt so
 his exposures and development of Kodak IR B/W are just right...if
 I print them...Now I even have a Durst 70 Start Pro Vario with a
 wonderful Schneider apo to join the Focomat I've used for the past ten
 years.
 I'm straight Ilford for the last 25 years but I'm willing now to go to
 Kodak (and Konica) to try IR. I love the skin tones of my daughter with
 IR.
  
 - Materials : Delta 100, 400, Hp5 to 3200, red filter or orange
 Microphen, Ilfotec 29,   Konica IR, Kodak 70 mm 2424 B/W IR developed
 with Emofin.   I usually print onto Multigrade IV Satin finish RC and
 Barit Matt for archival.  (would like to try Weston's pyro developer, if
 I could find it already dry mixed)
  
 - Format :35 but now mostly medium
  
  - Other strange hobbies:  Poetry, compulsively since 12 (decades ago),
 contolling light environments, Bonsai
  
  - How did you find out about this list:  found it on the net.  If
 you're too tired to DO something, you can always look around in the net.
  
  - Expand on anything photographic you like:  I need to locate a 70MM
 STAINLESS STEEL DEVELOPING
 TANK.  It would be nice if I could get in a long piece with 20
 exposures, but not necessary.
 Does anyone know where I can purchase this item?????
 Now if you read my story email me your Bio so I can find out
 with whom or to whom I just spoke.
