"Printing with Light"

The Museum of Printing History embraces nondigital prints

We have become so used to photography that we often forget what it actually is: a print made with light. The ongoing exhibition "Printing with Light"at the Museum of Printing History, part of FotoFest 2010, shows modern examples of all kinds of different techniques, including platinum prints, tintypes, cyanotypes, VanDyke prints, salt prints and gelatin silver, along with descriptions of the processes. One thing not represented? Digital printing. So as much as you love your inkjet, don't expect to see its products hanging on museum walls during "Printing with Light." 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Through August 14. 1324 West Clay Street. For information, call 713-522-4652 or visit www.printingmuseum.org. Free.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: May 25. Continues through Aug. 14, 2010
