Re: [pinhole-discussion] PS4
As I understand it, the first use of light to help produce a picture was in the mid 16th century, when a camera obscura was used to project an image onto paper and the artist would trace around it. The first recorded study of the light effect on silver salts was by Schulze in 1727 who filled a glass bottle with a suspension of chalk and silver in nitric acid. By attaching stencils on the side, he produced a print of the image on the mixture. This was destroyed by over exposure to light, or shaking the bottle ! Wedgewood tried to produce images to decorate the plates he was making, cheaply. He had some success, but no means of fixing the image and Humphry Davey, chemist, could not suggest any, otherwise the history of photography from 1800 would be different. Ellis Here's a link to the Niepce Museum http://www.niepce.com/ The oldest extant photographic image is in the Gernsheim Collection at the U. Texas at Austin if I rememeber correctly. But other investigators like Wedgewood had produced photographic images at around the same time but could not fix them. Peter
Re: [pinhole-discussion] PS4
Hi all PS4 swappers ! Mea culpa for my long delay in organizing the PS4 swap. Some personal problems + an overload of unscheduled heavy tasks to do have prevented me to keep I the initial time schedule. I'm going away today for my lecture (see Pinhole Visions events) at the Musée Niépce in Chalon sur Saône ( birthplace of photography). I shall be back on Saturday and I promise to send on Sunday 7 some precise info directly (not on this list) to all of you who had signed for the PS4 (with the PS4 participant sign-in procedure). We shall constitute quickly the groups, so that we can hold the initial deadline of : Saturday February 29 th 2004. So, I beg your indulgence for my long silence ( I would have preferred to be able to keep in time!)... Do not worry, you will get a good start on next Sunday.. Thanks to all who signed; I'm sure PS4 will be un grand cru ! Cheers from France, Jean - Original Message - From: Ingo Günther ingoguent...@web.de To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

Re: [pinhole-discussion] PS4
That is all very nice, but can't somebody put another reply address on the net so that I don't get 28 mails a day with the same message? By the way, yes, count me in Taco Patrick Lee wrote: Hi Jean, Count me in too. Am excited about it for I missed last year event. :) Cheers, Patrick

Other ones are writing about the more formal pinhole swap groups in which several of us participated in the years 1999 to 2002. it's important for everybody to make the distinction since the rules and the organization of these two kinds of exchange are not the same. 2) announcement for a new formal Pinhole swap Our last Pinhole Swap group (for which I was coordinator and which I had named S2PP) was scheduled for spring 2002. Unfortunately, for various reasons (some personal + open Christmas Swap + tasks for the WPPD) this swap did not occur. Naturally, the desire still exists for me and probably for some of you. It' s why I am happy to let you know that I am again ready to coordinate the organization of a new Pinhole Swap Group, of the same kind as those which were fabulous experiences these last years. It will be called PS4: Pinhole Print Spring Swap 2004. For those of you who should be interested in participating, please reply on this list using PS4 in the Subject line of your post. Then, we shall discuss the rules of this new swap. Cheers from France!
