NEW BOOKS FOR A NEW CENTURY

TORCHLIGHT INTAGLIOS

Contains abstract Photographs

of small scale creations.

Swancy, chose Polaroid film

because it had a quality to create variations on using the patterns he designed. During the process he experimented with the light images he projected through the enlarger, using various development chemistries and temperatures and altering and deepening tones. Along, with Advance Image Transferring Techniques which allowed him to Explore a New Medium and control the Transfer Process.

Special thanks to Co-worker Ansley Whipple for typing and layout of these books who's wonderful efforts made them so beautifully world wide received and promoted. The Swancy family will be eternally grateful to Angie for assisting Andre. Thank you Angie! (Mrs. Andre' Swancy)
