Idling

Yesterday a friend suggested that "maybe one day you might return to chemical photography?"

"Sounds too much like craft" i replied

But in truth i doubt that there will be much to return to. The industrial infrastructure on which contemporary chemical colour photography relies, is already undergoing irreversible changes; responding to the shift from analogue to digital capture in the commercial and domestic market. Black and white emulsions are easy enough to work with at home so the craft interest continues, but to me this would be lke working with cyanotypes.
