Does anyone know where to find a copy of this book? I am trying to learn more about William Mortensen. My late father was a student of his for many years -- if you have access to Mortensen's book Pictorial Lighting, my father was the model for 'Fisherman from Barcelona', the photo that appears on page 150. I registered for this website because I have literally countless negatives and prints, all taken by my father (many at Mortensen's school in Laguna Beach, CA). Many of the photos use the abrasion tone technique pioneered by William Mortensen. Most of these negatives and prints date from the 1940s and 1950s. I worry that I may not be storing them properly, and given the age of my father when he passed away in 2002 (79), I worry whether there is anyone left who would know how to make prints from these negatives. I welcome correspondence from anyone who is interested in William Mortensen or his techniques. I know virtually nothing about photography, so apologize in advance if I have used any of these terms incorrectly.<div></div>
