Those in Austin might be interested in this:

The Harry Ransom Center will host a lecture and panel discussion this week in conjunction
with the Center's current exhibition "The Image Wrought: Historical Photographic
Processes in the Digital Age."

British photographic process historian and alternative process
photographer Mike Ware presents "If Gold Rust, What Shall Iron
Do?" on Thursday, June 15, at 7 p.m. Ware will discuss the
history and his use of the chrystotype photographic process, which
uses an iron-based sensitizer to produce images of pure colloidal
gold.

The panel discussion "Analog/Digital: Bridging the Gap" takes place on
Friday, June 16, at 7 p.m. The event features the following
photographers whose work is included in "The Image Wrought":

-Dan Burkholder, who pioneered the hybrid approaches of using digital
negatives to create alternative process prints and digitally applying
pigment to platinum prints

-Jesseca Ferguson, whose poetic "photo-objects" address the more
metaphorical aspects of photography: time, memory, and death

-Mike Ware, who went back to the earliest days of photography and
updated the chemistry to make processes accessible to a new generation

The panelists will discuss their work in terms of the analog/digital
divide.

Seating for both events is free, but limited.

Thanks. From S.A. the Ransom Center at UT makes a nice day trip.
I saw the Ansel exhibit there a while back and need to get up and see the current stuff they have.
