This presentation will discuss the use of non-traditional methods of printing photos digitally.  Typically, we use papers specifically tailored to give exceptional results with modern inkjet\/giclee printers from Epson and Canon. However, there are many other forms of media that are available including transparent film (digital negatives and color positives), papers designed for watercolor painting (cyanotype, carbon, platinum-palladium prints) or mechanical printing (photogravures).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil DeShong began taking photos seriously in high school – many decades ago.  His first camera was a used Nikon F.  In college and graduate school, he was the chief photographer for his research groups, had a dedicated darkroom, and learned to print b&w and diazo.  During his career, Phil and his wife have had the opportunity to live in Europe for several years and to travel extensively which provided many opportunities for photography.  During the bulk of his academic career, it was impossible to maintain a darkroom and slides were his chief media, but as soon as digital cameras became available, he bought switched over to digital.  His first digital camera was a Leica D-Lux 4 which he still owns and uses while traveling.  Phil’s exploration of non-traditional printing techniques centers on his interests in b&w photography and photo restoration efforts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
