Subject: [Leica] Atkinson/Rowell Evercolor Luminage Exhibit/talk

There has been some discussion lately about Evercolor prints, and some 
of the folks working with them (including Bill Atkinson and Galen
Rowell).

It turns out that Bill and Galen are opening a show next month of
EverColor Luminage images.  Here's some info I stole from the
Mountain Light web site (http://www.mountainlight.com):

   Join us on December 12, 1998, from 10 am to 4 pm for the public
   opening of our first EverColor Luminage exhibit at Mountain Light.
   This two-person show will include over 70 images of nature by Galen
   Rowell and Bill Atkinson. Bill, who developed the MacIntosh Operating
   System as well as some of its software, such as Hypercard, has turned
   his talent into producing the finest ever photographic prints
   beginning with an image on film and using digital processing instead
   of an optical enlarger. The results are astounding, with colors,
   contrast, and detail more true to the original image than ever
   before. Bill Atkinson is a life-long nature photographer who is
   finally realizing his potential, thanks to the very techniques that he
   developed to empower other people's creativity using computers. He is
   now devoting full time to his nature photography. He and Galen have
   been working together for a year to produce the images for the show.
   
   Galen and Bill will be available from 10 to 2 pm. 
   They will give a special presentation at 1 pm. 
   
   This is not to be missed!!!! 

I can highly recommend stopping by the Mountain Light Gallery if
you're in the area (Emeryville, near Berkeley, California), either for
this show or just to see whatever display they have up.  There are
directions on the Mountain Light Web site.

a satisfied workshop attendee]
