Does anybody know how the "SX-70 >> Effects" (see album cover notes) on the cover of Peter Gabriel's "German >> Album" are produced? You can do all sorts of wild things by rubbing the photo with various objects (spoons, forks, pencils . . .) and/or heating it with a lighter or cooling it or . . . [REPLACE THESE DOTS WITH YOUR IMAGINATION]. This has to be done as the picture develops. The only bad thing is that these effects don't work as well on the Time-Zero film they sell now for SX-70's. If you can still find it, the old SX-70 film which took longer to develop was much better for these creative destructions. There are a few books out on this subject, and if anyone's interested to mail me a note about it, I'll look up the titles (it's late and the books belong to a friend of mine so now is not the time).
