re: Eric's solarized nudes

[Ray.Hale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Eric, these are terrific.  They are indeed reminiscent of certain Man 
     Ray pieces.  No apologies for that or for exhibiting nudes, please.  
     The bottom two images are my personal favorites because of the 
     intimacy implied by the arms and hands, the tight cropping of the very 
     last photo really emphasizing that.  
     
     Let's hear it for outdated materials.  I have large batches of b/w 
     film (Pan-x, tri-x) that are dated in the 70's that I still use and 
     regularly have success with 8-10 year old HIE.  My prize outdated 
     materials are bags of small odd-sized paper left over from the 30's 
     and 40's, some displaying the NRA (Nat'l. Recovery Act) symbol on 
     them.  Amazingly, most of it is still good!  Unfortunately, my boxes 
     of Ektalure X have turned muddy on me, while waiting for the right 
     imagery.  The only prints I ever made on that paper that I liked the 
     texture on were some IR nudes.  
     
     After seeing your results I'm running out today and purchasing a bunch 
     of Konica just to store until it's outdated.  This is fun.  Thanks
     
     Ray
