I work in bromoil, an obscure turn-of-the-century black and white process, now known as one of the alternative processes. In bromoil the silver in a black and white fiber base print is chemically bleached and replaced with greasy pigments. Bromoil is a marriage of photography, painting and printmaking and starts out with the best b/w print one can produce. Then, the print is bleached and tanned and the process and fun begins! It normally takes several hours to process one 8 x 10 inch print. I shoot only black and white film and use hands-on traditional darkroom practices rather than digital manipulation.
