Conduit Magazine Cover

Description : This was for some sort of electrical trade magazine, and I can't find my copy or remember what it was called. The shot was of an ugly, ugly machine for extruding electrical conduit. All I could do was to disguise the fact. Around 1977
Location : A factory somewhere in the south of England (as they used to say).
Medium : B/W 4x5 negative. I printed a series of lith film positives gradually increasing the exposure time. I then contact printed them and (can you say "pin register" children?) printed +ve -ve pairs of them to film using coloured filters. A long, difficult and fraught process that could be done in about 10 minutes with bloody Photoshop. (Damn! Damn!)
Client : See above :-(
