Editorial Welcome to Analogue Issue 8, maybe just in time for the Group’s AGM at the end of March. This issue starts a couple of themes which will continue into the next Analogue. The first is an autobiographical introduction to Tim Rudman FRPS, familiar from his recent exhibition of work in Iceland but whose photographic history goes back much further. Here he illustrates how the discipline of analogue photography has brought him an inner satisfaction. Very much related, Richard Williams gives us an overview of split-toned printing with tips for those who wish to try it themselves. Then we look at an example of ‘applied’ photography, a discipline close to my own photographic roots, where images provide a record of a process or outcome in another field. While sometimes looked down on as lacking creativity, it brought its own challenges as long-time practitioner Eric Houlder LRPS explains. Taking us on his quest is Reg Markin who describes the factors involved in creating his ideal photographic system. Clearly a work in progress, this is a tale familiar to many. After two issues of Analogue in quick succession, I need more contributions – text or images, or a combination of both. I am happy to help anyone who is unsure of their material, so please contact me via the e-mail address below. Richard Bradford ARPS, Editor analoguenews@rps.org
