This recent Sunday Times article on Hiroshi Sugimoto is a fascinating
look at how he is exposing negatives using tesla coils and generators
to discharge across the plates.  My nephew, Gregg Stanger, is his
direct assistance.  I am looking forward to seeing some of these when
they make it to a sdhow out here next year.  Meanwhile, my nephew & I
are discussing similar approaches to making direct exposures of sound
discharges.

I'm very happy for this young man, I first met nhim 33 years ago
chasing him in a diaper in his backyard.  The article is worth the
read & there is a cool photo.
