I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER. CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST ME SOME BOOKS WHICH I SHOULD READ? I LIVE IN THAILAND AND I CAN'T FIND IT IN MY COUNTRY. I WILL BUY IT THROUGH BOOK.COM.

AND I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT PALLADIUM PRINTING. I WANT TO TRY IT WITH MY PIN HOLE CAMERA.

I CONFESS THAT I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF THEORY. SO,PLEASE SUGGEST ME SOME BOOKS THAT NOT TOO MUCH DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.

I'M VERY SORRY FOR MY STUPID ENGLISH. I CAN READ BUT NOT GOOD AT WRITTING.

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME...PLEASE.........

Try "Historic Photographic Processes" by Richard Farber.

Also try not to use all capital letters. Because PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE YELLING AT THEM!

The best suggestion on literature I can give you is

W. Crawford, The Keepers of Light

Not only does it describe the history of the processes and the interactions between the techniques used at a certain time and the styles predominant at that time, it also gives a lot of practical hints.

You might also want to look at the "alternative processes" postings.

Don't worry too much about your English. I am not a native speaker myself, but I wouldn't find it hard to read, were it not for all those capital letters.

Who cares how you decided to write your question? We can all read it!!! Look into Silverprint and Liquid light.they are two chemicals that you can use to pour onto any paper (Just about).
