Interestingly enough, I have a b+w printing book by a guy named Eddie
Ephraums. It's a pretty good book, and he gives details on how he
printed about 20 pictures. All of them are landscapes, and all are shot
on XP-2.
He *could* be an Ilford pimp, I don't know. ;)
I'm not a particularly big fan of his prints, nor do I use XP-2, but he
does seem to like the film's properties for the sort of things he
shoots, and he does seem to know what he's doing.
The name of the book is Gradient Light.
