does anyone know about photographic printing on metal sheet?
I've been thinking again about these injury images... it has always bugged me because i've never really felt i've resolved how to present them. I had riginally framed them but it didn't feel very considered or intrinsic to the idea...
They are images that really underpin a lot of what I do. I had to send one off for an exhibition i'm in later in the year, and once again it reared a nagging doubt that the work is just not finished. so i'm exploring a return to them. I also perhaps want to put myself in the pictures, anonymously, I think it has always felt wrong that I have taken the pictures of other people and i want to get inside the process more. I like the idea of the privacy and autonomy of taking the image myself of myself, but nobody actually needs to know that...
Or does anyone have any other thoughts on presenting photographs? I'd also had an idea of having it as a dvd still so the tv becomes the frame, like a documentary? I'd imagined an ordinary portible tv not a flashy plasma screen...
Sorry i've been absent, I've not been very confident about my thoughts, internalising them. But then on sunday I got into a discussion with the jewellery group i'm involved in and when I started talking I realised I had made progress in my mind, without realising it. Time to open up again i guess!

Do you mean dry mounting? That's when they take your photo and dry mount it onto aluminum sheets.
John Jones in Finsbury park do this, its quite pricey but looks lovely. Hope you're well xxxxx
you can get liquid emulsion that you can apply to any surface to make it photosensitive. you need to do this in a darkroom and then project the image onto it, then fix it. you need to have the right facilities, and probably would need someone who knows what they're doing.
