It’s the last of the three reader interviews I promised last month, and most likely the last interview before Morning Coffee takes a long hiatus.

Image transfers. Oh! how I love the look of them, when they work. My track record with this technique is less than spectacular, and it has me considering showcasing my photographs in resin instead of clay. Conflicted thoughts abound!
