I shall be heading to that tomorrow after work. There's a series of short talks which I think could be really interesting:

and then this afterwards:

And an Instagram competition!

Would it be cheating to shoot on large format and then scan and upload to instagram?

Damn, I can't get down there for that. He's one of the few I go back to again and again, brilliant.
One of the few things I miss from Sydney is this sort of thing.

I live my life with crossed-fingers in the hope of a major Frederick H Evans show.

I was totally blessed back in the early eighties in England to have a work colleague who knew Evans's grandson and I got to handle some original platinums of his, spent an hour going through a private collection, that was a truly special time, they were wonderful, all church work and with that something special that platinum gives an image. In fact now I think about it I wonder why I don't just move to platinum printing, I've wanted to ever since that day, these days I use my 8x10 more and more, maybe I should get onto Bostick and Sullivan and just order the gear and start a new project.
All the best, Mark

Mark,

At the RPS in Bath I was offered an opportunity to enter an auction for a recent Platinum Print of "Sea Of Steps". Pricing was around 25,000 pounds, as I recall at. The time. I was able to resist having just driven up from Wells where, for the first and only time in my photographic life, I had sought the tripod holes of FHE and made my own "Sea Of Steps".

Bostick and Sullivan may well prove to be your good friend.

Walter,
whilst on the subject can you recommend any good books on Evans?
thanks, Mark

Mark,

The only one I actually have is the Aperture Monograph done by Beaumont Newhall — Frederick H Evans Photographer of the majesty, light and space of the medieval cathedrals of England and France — ISBN 912334-49-5

Your query prompted a quick search of Amazon which resulted in me ordering a more recent hardback edition by Anne Lyden:

Hope this helps,

Walter,
Thanks for the quick response, I too have just ordered the hardback you linked to, it looks great.
thanks again, Mark
