"The first and only book to demystify these new processes. I have been lucky enough to attend Kathleen Carr's Polaroid transfer workshops and have always come away enlightened and inspired. This book does the same, and in addition provides easy to understand illustrated step-by-step technical information, beautiful images by current artists in the field, and lot of new ideas. It is a must have for anyone interested in going beyond the limits of regular photography!"
