He began serious positive print.

  • 1. Before Photography
    1. Before Photography Part 1: Discovering Light The most basic aspect of photography is our understanding of how light works, and the first known writings on this come from well over two thousand years ago in China. Mo Ti (later known as Mo Tsu) was a philosopher who lived from 470 to 391 BC. Unlike most philosophers he came from a poor background, perhaps why his teachings were based on the conviction that all men were of equal worth. His followers or 'Moists' were taught that right living demanded they take responsibility for the well being of others and ensured that their actions did not harm others, but practised a universal love for others. If people follow this path, the world is 'ordered and peaceful,' if not, 'the world becomes disorder, violent, and chaotic.' Although difficult to argue against, these ideas did not generally win the affection of the rich and powerful, and Moism soon died out. Mo Ti also thought deeply about the natures of shadows, realising that they were formed by light travelling in straight lines, the first recorded law of optics. He also was able to use this to explain why the images formed when light entered a darkened room through a small aperture were inverted, so can be credited both with recognising the role of an aperture in forming an image and also with an understanding of what later became known as the 'camera obscura' which will be looked at in more detail in a later section. Back in the more primitive west, the Greek philosophers were also noticing similar effects.

  • Photography in the Printing Press: the Photomechanical Revolution
    Helena E Wright Photography in the printing press: the photomechanical revolution Introduction From this vantage point, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is difficult to imagine the impact of photography at the time of its invention. Its subsequent influence on visual communication and cognition is acknowledged as fact and taken quite for granted. Photography has been credited with 'redefining the nature of artistic expression and information transfer',l yet this iconographic revolution actually was accomplished largely by means of the medium's wide­ spread reproduction. The development of various photomechanical technologies, culminating in the screened halftone, transformed both the production and the perception of photographs.2 The rise of mass media, incorporating this pictorial vocabulary into journalism, film, television and now the Internet, has changed forever the way the world communicates. Today's visual culture has its roots in photography, but owes its pre-eminence to the dissemination of photography's syntax into other media. That phenomenon - the photomechanical revolution - actively pursued internationally from the 1840s, is the topic of this paper. Its material evidence is recorded in the remarkable collection of photolithographer JW Osborne (1828-1902), donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1888.3 In 1857, less than 20 years after the invention of photography, Lady Eastlake observed: Photography has become a household word and a household want; [it] is used alike by art and science, by love, business, and justice; is found in the most sumptuous ... and dingiest [surroundings] ... in the pocket of the detective, in the cell of the convict, in the folio of the painter and architect, among the papers and patterns of the mill-owner and manufacturer, and on the cold brave breast on the battlefield...

  • Chapter 16 the Gum Bichromate Process
    THE BOOK OF ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES: 2nd Edition © CHRISTOPHER JAMES 2008 SAMPLE - CHAPTER 16 THE GUM BICHROMATE PROCESS Fig 16 – 1, here, (Christopher James, John Q. w/ His own Negative, 2005, cyanotype & gum) OVERVIEW & EXPECTATIONS Here’s the truth… In gum bichromate printing there are very few absolutely correct ways to do anything. Here’s another bit of reality… In my experience, gum bichromate printers are the most passionate, and hard-headed, of all alternative process artists when it comes to their particular way of doing the process. I can just imagine many of my friends reading that last sentence and saying, "he’s talking about me!" When the gum bichromate process is broken down into its three components, and explained in the simplest of ways, it appears to be amazingly uncomplicated. However, to nearly every one of my students who has been seduced by the process, and for those artists who are dedicated to it, gum bichromate reveals itself to be one of the most complex in the alternative process genre. Gum printing is ridiculously seductive, due to its limited chemistry, simple water development, unlimited color potential with watercolors of the artist’s choice, and its flexible ability to be coupled with a wide range of other alternative and graphic arts techniques. I think of gum as the photographic ambassador to the graphic and fine arts. Because of its pigment and substrate options and brush application, gum bichromate printing is one of the few photographic processes capable of achieving that wonderful element of gesture - gesture being the evidence of painterly expression, of the artist’s © Christopher James, The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes: 2nd Edition, 2007 hand, in the creation of a mark.
