>> 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?  

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).
