<  This makes me think of a good question.  Does anybody know how the "SX-70
<  Effects" (see album cover notes) on the cover of Peter Gabriel's "German
<  Album" are produced?  This is the album cover in which half of Gabriel's
<  face appears melted, and which has many images reminiscent of Hieronymous
<  Bosch in the shadows.  Also, do you need an SX-70 to do it, or can you just
<  print onto SX-70 film with an enlarger?

An avant-garde type friend of mine does 'experimental' work
using an instant camera (colour) and a the eraser end of a 
pencil (available from Nikon at $127.25  :-) ).... 

He takes a picture, and as soon as it comes out of the
camera he rubs at it before the emulsion(s?) harden or
dry or whatever, and gets these 'flowing' distortions.
I guess one could call it 'lightroom manipulation'.

He finds that medium fun, I haven't tried it yet - I may.
