1: Oldie but Goodie Updated
You'd think that alternative photographic processes would be dead in this digital age, but there's still a lot of life in these fun, techniques, some of which date back 100 years or more. If you want to have fun, and rediscover some of the joy of photography, buy this book and try some of these processes for yourself.

2: Detailed, Informative AND Fun
I'm not really one for writing reviews, but thought I would do for this book to show my appreciation for it.
'Alternative Photographic Processes' has so many ideas that you can pick and choose from, yet I enjoyed reading through the whole book start to finish, even though I don't intend trying out everything here....This would take a lifetime.
It's backed up by photo history which really brings alive the processes as you try them out and keeps the maths/science/techno info to a workable minimum.
Bascialy, for those who don't see photoshop as the be all and end all, this book brings photography alive and makes is seem...well, magical again.

3: if you need an overview
This book does excactly that what it pretends: it gives an excellent overview of al kinds of alternative processes so you can pick the one(s) you like. It does not go into detail, for that you have specific books or web information.
Some of the process described are at this moment impossible to perform, simply because the chemicals are not available anymore; they are too dangerous. The books states that as well...
|
4: If it's alternative you want...
Very clear and detailed information, with excellent photo and graphics that illustrate the alternative processes.
All the processes are historically contextualized.
Congratulations Christopher James for this great book.

5: Alt Pro book second edition is gouda, like cheese.
'Tis the most complete alternative processes manual of all times. More beautiful color photograph illustrations than you could think to shake a stick at. To get the most alternative use of this book, one might stitch the pages together to wear as clothes, and alternatively processize to one's heart's content.
