Comment on Artists & Alchemists: New Documentary Film About Alternative Process Photographers by Mary Westring

Dear Bryon,

Ten years ago you wrote a very kind, generous and perceptive review of work I did that was shown at the Figurworks Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The drawings were of former child soldiers whom I had met at two rehabilitation centers in Gulu, Northern Uganda. You spoke of the pain and anger you saw in the pieces and commented about what I left out rather than what I included. It is a rare thing for an artist’s intention to be understood and I was very grateful to for your kind words. The review was never published but that was secondary to the compliment you paid me with your attention.
We have been working for these ten years to send former child soldiers to school. We now have 7 who have graduated from college and 17 presently in college including one in medical school; many have finished high school. We had intended to simply keep them from re-abduction from their remote villages by sending them to boarding school: their education was secondary in our minds. But they grasped the opportunity and have excelled beyond anything we could have imagined.
This past year I visited Uganda and took photographs at a party we held for our students and their families. I have been working on a series of these happy faces and hope that I have captured their joy and pride. My first series was of tortured incomplete children. These new pieces are of determined and happy adults who have worked hard towards a productive and hopeful future.
These new pieces will be shown from April 27th to June 2nd (reception May 11) at the Figureworks Gallery along with a few of the previous portraits. I hope that you will visit the gallery, not necessarily to write a review but to celebrate with me the success of these remarkable and determined young people.

Thank you,

Mary Westring

I’m trying to make a “portable darkroom” and am at the point where a dunking tray–to hang vertically out of the bottom of the darkroom–needs to either be found or fabricated. In the process of conducting this search on-line, I came across your name as a possible source. Could you direct me to a source either of ssuch trays or of how to make myself.

Thanks.

Comment on Abraham Lincoln’s Campaign Tintypes by campaign buttons

Really I was amazed to watch the amazing features of these tintype cameras including some 16 lenses, a better product by the Roberts of Boston for doing campaigning programs.

Comment on Abraham Lincoln at Mathew Brady Studio by Dale Monaghen

Hi, I just found this interesting page on the Lincoln tintype. I have a similar one (slightly different pose) I acquired in 1972. At the time I was told that there were some modern tintype copies made, inserted in vintage civil war cases and sold. Do you have any information on such. Thanks, Dale, a photo collector.
