and the other was Mira Schendel
at Tate Modern. The first
consisted of mainly black & white
photographs while the second
was paintings, drawings and
sculptures. Between them, they
set me off on a new direction
which explores photography and
typography. I started out making
a Japanese style fold-out book
with images printed on tracing
paper, and text interwoven among
them. If I was to follow in the
footsteps of Singh, this meant
that I had to dispatch this one-off
book to someone it related to,
without making a copy of it. After
some hesitation, I complied with
this self-imposed rule and went
off to the post office. As I write,
it is drifting around somewhere
between the UK and Australia
with no evidence that it ever
existed. And, to be honest, that
does hurt a bit…although I know
it shouldn’t. I should just let it go.
While photography is at its
essence a mechanical process that
is endlessly repeatable, I do feel
that we have reached an image
duplication saturation point. The
one-off unrepeatable object,
therefore, takes on a special
significance. My little book, alone
in the world, has taken on its own
destiny. If it reaches its recipient
and gives them pleasure, it has
fulfilled its purpose.
And if it takes another course
and ends up in a back room of
some obscure sorting office,
overlooked and discarded, then at
least it will have existed, unique
and unrepeatable.
Enough philosophical thought,
I’m off to make some printed
books – with multiple copies…
EDITOR’S
LETTER
I
have a reputation in the office
for not writing my Editor’s
Letter until the very last
minute. The reason for this,
I tell my ever patient colleagues,
is that I might come up with
a better idea than the one I
currently have, and it’s therefore
worth waiting. They are, I
suspect, a little cynical about this
but my argument stands.
You can, of course, wait too
long for inspiration – or look in

the wrong places for it. Sitting still
staring at the screen doesn’t work
(I’ve tried it) but turning to
outside sources does.
Right at the end of last year
I went to two exhibitions that had
a big influence on me. The first
was Dayanita Singh’s

SECRET RECIPE
We overheard that one of the world’s most popular
carbonated soft drinks is an excellent toner for black
& white prints, so, of course, we had to try it out. We
found fine art rag paper best, so it would soak up all
that caramel-coloured sugary goodness. Interesting
effects were also made with a gloss paper, but the print
became unappealingly sticky! Now it’s your turn, send
us your DIY post-printing experiments!

In the middle of cleaning his Bronica ETRS and
lenses,
Black+White
reader John Gilbey was called
away to the telephone. He returned to find his cat
had settled down and spread its hair all over his
newly cleaned gear. As John said, ‘It was a good
job I put the lens caps back on!’ Thank you for the
charming story and photo John!
GENIUS OF
THE MONTH
Editor Steve Watkins,
who shares our office,
had a eureka moment this
month when he devised an
effective and simple way of
indexing the
Black+White
archive. Keep a look out on
a future pinboard to see
how you can access our
index, but for now let’s have
a round of applause for our
mastermind extraordinaire!
