New York, New York, Penumbra Foundation
At my Penumbra Foundation Traditional Platinum Workshop last weekend, Michael Page Miller brought several rolls of 35mm film dating back to the 1970s. Just to see what would happen, we tried making a Pt/Pd contact sheet from one. Maybe a first? But not the first exotic experience for this roll of film. Michael tells me it was shot in Peru in 1971—bulk loaded cassettes developed in the field with processing chemicals warmed on a small brass SVEA 123 camping stove and low-grade gasoline for fuel. But it worked.
