| Newsletter for Collectors - Vol 1.3 | Oct 1, 2007 | | | Home • New on this site • Photographers • Storefronts • Galleries & Dealers • Timelines
Techniques and processes • Exhibitions • Store • Contact us To all of you that joined us recently welcome - and a special thanks to the galleries that are providing biographies and photographs.
An improved version of the www.luminous-lint.com website was recently released which incorporates some of the suggestions from our survey.
My intention is to provide the best possible information for the photo-community and to cover areas that most photography websites do not see as important. It as just as important to include 19th century ethnographic photography, tintypes as well as contemporary mixed media. To understand the history we need to be inclusive and open-minded.
Since the last newsletter we have put up exhibitions that include this rich variety Thanks to the photographers, collectors, galleries and private dealers that are helping to make Luminous-Lint the rich resource it is.
Enter and win a copy of A Century of Colour Photography: From the autochrome to the digital age in the new competition - see details below. You will help us include some missing 19th century photographers!
Please forward this email on to other connoisseurs.Thanks for all your support and friendship,

 | Missing 19th century photographers?
Our second competition was another success and thanks to all those that entered - The clue was Pigpen Brain Mall which was an anagram of Gabriel Lippmann (1845-1921) an early inventor of color processes and the winners were Bill Becker and John Hannavy - congratulations to both of you and copies of the book will be sent on.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of color photography Pam Roberts has authored an authoritative overview A Century of Colour Photography: From the autochrome to the digital age and the publisher Carlton Books has kindly supplied some copies for us to give away on Luminous-Lint.
For our next competition I‘d like to hear about a 19th century photographer not included on this website who should be! So send through your suggestion with any biographical details you have - dates etc and the reason the person should be included to comp3@luminous-lint.com with the name of the suggested photographer as the subject line. Two winners will be selected at random and will be announced in the next newsletter. Good luck. |
