So, who is John Stewart? :)))

Someone else who uses that process and does fashion photography for vogue, but doesn't fit the 'her children' bit ;)

John Stewart

OK, thanks!

Next question:

What is the name of the process where a negative print is made on glass and placed against a black background to be viewed?

NOTE: These are absolutely beautiful in real life, I've seen only a couple, but they're just fascinating.

Okay, next question: Which podcast would have taught you nearly all of the answers to the questions so far, for free and is well worth a listen to if you have the time and inclination ?

I still think it is one of the LensWork podcasts, but it is not available online anymore (for free).

Not what I was thinking of, no.

It isn't really a trivia question, so I'll try another one. This person is one of photography's most famous shooters, but turned his back on the art to take up painting. He also said 'Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks. '

It's probably not what you're thinking of, but through Google I found this, and it looks like it might be interesting. But I haven't looked at it carefully, just found it.

Yup, that was exactly what I was thinking of :) I've found them very valuable, so far.

Go Google!

I've been meaning to ask this question but I can't remember the answer. Maybe somebody will know it.

This is from early photography. There was a woman, in Britain, who did a sort of photo-catalog of fern. I think her father was a botanist. She did them by hand and made these books to give out to friends I believe. Does anyone know who I'm talking about? I remember reading about it a couple years ago, but I can't remember her name.

If that's too confusing/vague a question, I'll post a different one in a little.

Correct. That's what Ursula correctly linked to over an hour ago ;)

Name two French photographers that worked in collaboration with Pablo Picasso.

That was "Pepper Number 30". The exposure time was 6 hours at f/128. He shot it inside a metal funnel, which kind of bounced the light around. I know it sat out under the lights for like a week. The eventual disposition I don't know...
