Talk:Luminogram

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Problems

The article is currently a bit too much like a Jo Bradford fan page, which isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia. I made quite a lot of changes, but didn't alter the 'fan-site' aspect. While I'm sure she's good at it, the article needs a more neutral approach. The subject may satisfy the notability guidelines, but I'm not sure that Jo Bradford herself does. Wikipedia isn't an advertising service. SteveRamone 14:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I am writing a dissertation about luminograms and this is all from my notes, but point taken about fan-site though, I can write up more about some other artists who did black and white or cibachrome versions (when I haver done more research for my dissertation), but it is a pretty unusual artform and I haven't come across many other contemporary people doing it (yet!), Moholy Nagy et al made black and white versions, which are not very contemporary - however I will make some changes to make it more factual and link to other entries about luminograms too if this helps make it more neutral? You will see now that I have removed all selling site links to Bradford and left only the info ones like on Saatchi's gallery, I have also removed any information not particulalry relevant to luminograms (Just the facts man!!)

Good luck with it. Have you seen the Photogram article? There are quite a few links at the bottom of the page. SteveRamone 22:00, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Ha ha - yes I am well aware of that page - a regular visitor there I am!! Actually I was wondering how you can link the 2 pages to each other as they are directly relevant to each other. Anyway, I have just extracted a bit more infor from my notes, some info about other contemporary artists who use the 2 other methods to make luminograms, Corry in Black and White and The Carter's work in Cibachrome (colour positive, dye destruction method) - I am sure you will weave you wordy magic to make this all fit the bill appropriately! Thanks Steve for your input Sian Diamond 22:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi You will see that thanks to an A-Level student who is also researching this, and has shared his notes - thanks Andy - I have been able to add a bit more in general. I feel that it is well rounded now and wonder if we can archive this discussion page - I cringe at my own chattiness sometimes :)
