Shutterbug said Great resource for "alternative processes". I teach alternative processes and was looking for a smaller, and cheaper, version of Christopher James "The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes". While I love James' book, the cost has always made it a difficult choice to require my students to purchase, I would rather they had a bit more money for supplies to actually use some of the processe. A. Vaughn said Great Ideas. This book is full of great alternative photographic ideas from film and darkroom to digital. It also covers plenty of photographic history. Great book, it'll be keeping me busy for a long time to come. :). "Five Stars" according to L. K. Roberts. great
