Trevor's comment is the first time I heard of an iron-based process, so I googled and found this.   Fascinating, but too much to read in a month!  

I'm glad the alternative process I'll use most is much less complicated -- making palladium prints.  The platinum/palladium on gold backed vellum I made for this week's gallery was more complicated, done at a workshop, but just about everything was already at hand.  

But speaking of buying equipment, I've decided to get a scanner so that I can scan my palladium prints rather than take digital photos of them.  I see the difference clearly between my submission this week and the scan of another workshop participant.  His really looks like gold.

*yawn*

how about Yoram's image in the gallery this week?

a hybrid of digital and analog, antiquated processes with new life breathed into them...i've belonged to an alt-process list for years now and print almost exclusively in iron...i find this type of printing exciting...don't need a darkroom, or a Swartzoflex 5000 (although i hear the Swartzoflex 5000s is the new must have)...
