To all Luminous-Lint subscribers and contributors I'd like to say thanks for your continuing support.
Free access during COVID-19
On 22nd March when I saw what was happening with COVID-19 I decided to make access to Luminous-Lint free until 31 May 2020.
You can login to www.luminous-lint.com for free with the email address spring@lumlint.com and the password spring all in lowercase. You can login here.
I would ask the following of you:
If you see any errors or have something to add let me know. I'm always at alan@luminous-lint.com
Subscribe if you can as it allows me to provide services to those who can't.
All the best and stay safe,

Photohistory Quests
As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold I decided that we needed a bit of distraction so I started a series of PHOTOHISTORY QUESTS on Facebook. The purpose of these quests is to increase the range of images on Luminous-Lint so we can better grasp the visual coverage for each theme. These quests been posted onto five Facebook groups.
Many hundreds of you have joined in and have searched through your collections for related images. I thank you all for participating.
The first twenty quests are below with examples of some of the photographs that came through. With permission from the collectors involved these have been added into Luminous-Lint to increase our understanding.
No quest is ever closed and additional images will continue to be added as we proceed.
PLEASE NOTE: For some of these links to work you must be logged in to Luminous-Lint.
New Facebook Group - PHOTOHISTORY QUESTS - please join in.
A new Facebook Group was established on 13 May 2020 to handle a wider range of PHOTOHISTORY QUESTS from Luminous-Lint than could be handled by groups limited to techniques, formats or time periods.
Here the photographs will not be limited to a specific technique or date as I'm attempting to delve into the outer reaches of what is available in photography.
My deepest appreciation to all of you who have participated in the QUESTS to date and you can see everybody who has provided images to Luminous-Lint here:
A FREE TRIAL for the website is currently available so send an email to alan@luminous-lint.com with your name and reasons for wanting to take a look and I'll set up a password for you.
Educational subscriptions
During the COVID-19 pandemic there has been an increasing need for distance learning and this looks set to continue. Students and staff require access to visual resources on photohistory at a time when libraries are closed and books can not include the range of images necessary to understand a topic with any level of depth. Luminous-Lint continues to provide structured resources on photohistory to all. It costs $300 a year for all your staff and students to have access to the best resource there is.
It is time to ensure that your subscription to Luminous-Lint has been confirmed. Please check with whoever manages subscriptions to digital resources to ensure all is well. If you are a professor, researcher or student requiring access to Luminous-Lint please contact your Head of Department or Librarian.
If you need any assistance with curriculum planning or resources to supplement your courses send me an email.
