Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 22 < 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? J. Eric Roskos 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.
