As is the sense that his color photography is part of a widespread on-going process. I wonder what happened to the European work from that era? Motion picture work is among the most controlled uses of film (so the rendering of the film can be compensated for in other ways); maybe it was cheaper to plan the sets to render on ortho film, and powder faces, than it would have been to use panchromatic film? Or maybe the people doing it were just rather conservative. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
