Tim Rudman's Photo Book on Iceland

Tim Rudman has announced the availability of his long-awaited book, 'Iceland. An Uneasy Calm', for pre-order. Printed by Opas Books, the book will have a collectors' edition in a black silk binding available in a limited run by September. The collectors' edition will include an handmade duo-toned silver-gelatin print.

Tim describes the Icelandic landscape as "a wonderful country of folklore and religion, of myth and magic and a land of awesome subterranean forces and stunning scenery." Tim is a leader and center of information for lith printing on silver-gelatin paper.

He also gives an excellent tip for an online photography magazine, the Looking Glass. Looking Glass covers all things in still film - large format, ambrotype, 35mm, you get it. While the zine does require Flash, it does feature artwork from notable film photographers.

The newsletter also mentions Ilford new Direct Positive printing paper. The paper is geared towards pinhole camera work, where a positive image is desired without an internegative or film negative. The paper can be used in any large format camera or LOMO cameras by cutting to size.

It is well worth signing up for Tim Rudman's newsletter.
