Re: Saltzman enlarger has arrived

No, the Saltzman wasn't used in the workshop ... what Cole demonstrated 
during the darkroom time was film development by inspection using ABC
Pyro, 
and contact printing using one of Edward Weston's negatives (a **** of 
Charis on the dunes) using amidol.  (He held a drawing in the class and
gave 
the test prints to one of the lucky students.  My luck wasn't with me that

day.  darn!)

Cole used the Saltzman to make Cibachrome/Ilfochrome prints for his color 
work.  He talked about the incredible effort  it took to get it into his 
darkroom and installed.
