this doesn't pan out, you can
use any family group shot or
an individual portrait or snap

gives the personal touch that is
appropriate at this season.
Some Go In for Color
In the last year or so I have
noticed that increasing numbers
of photographers have taken to
color photography as a means
Of dressing up their cards-and
this is a substantial improve
ment over the black-and-white
variety. Now. of course. this
means a much greater outlay
of cash for you can't buy dupli-
cate tranSparencies or color
prints for the same price as the
monochromes. But the addition
Of color is worth it If you can
afford the difference.
Very few amateurs are equip
ped for color processing or
printing so if you decide to use
color shots this year. the prints
will have to be pasted to the
cards after the rest of the pho
tographic work, such as the
message. has been completed.
Color transparencies can be in
stalled by cutting out openings
of the right size and fastening
the slide or transparency to
the back of the card with
cellulose tape. The recipient
can view them by holding the
cards to the light or by stand
ing them in front of a window
or lamp.
Single Printing Eosy
Perhaps the easiest of all the
photo greeting cards to prepare
is the single sheet form that has
the picture and message all on
one side. This can be made with
either one or two printings de-
pending on whether you, use the

Honorable mentions went to

"Sparrows in a Bush," linear

paper with the emulsion inside.
This will give you the two in
ner pages to print on-one can
be used for the picture and the
other for the message or you
can use them in any way that
may seem novel to you To go
even further you can use an
entire sheet of 8x10 paper for
the French fold card we men,
toned. Fold the paper length
wise (emulsion out) then across.
This will give you a book-like
card that can be printed on
the cover and two inside pages.
The back cover is seldom used,
but Is available If you need it.
When selecting paper for
greeting cards be sure to buy
single-weight sheets if any fold
ing is to be done. The heavier
grades will crack when folded.
Single sheet cards should be on
double-weight stock to prevent
curling. White stock is gen.
orally best, particularly if you
use a snow scene, but it may
be that cream paper may suit
your individual need better.
Toning can also be effective,
but don't make the mistake Of
using the wrong toner. Just
keep in mind that a winter
scene calls for a cold toning
agent such as blue or green.
A warm gold toner would give
the wrong effect.
Card size is very important
consideration. One man made
up over 100 photo greeting cards
and only then discovered that
he couldn't find an envelope
large enough to fit them. So,
before deciding on the size Of
the card. find out what size
envelopes are available and de-
sign your card accordingly. Bet
ter still, get your supply Of en-
velopes first.
If you have never tried your
hand at making these novel
greeting cards, go easy this year
and use the ready-made masks
or stick to the simple single
sheet type. But if you are past
this stage there is no good rea-
son you can't go ahead and try
your hand at the more compli-
Gated forms. But simple or
elaborate. the personalized pho
to-greeting card will always win
greater appreciation from your
friends at Christmas time.

Burnett Alden Show

The Barnett Alden Gallery,
127 Randolph place NV. nine
years old this autumn. is OBJ
serving its anniversary with an
exhibition of paintings pur.
chased by patrons during the
near-decade. On account Of
the limited space, the Gallery
is showing only 18 works, Sc
lected from a larger number Of
sales. A secondary purpose in
assembling these paintings, ac-
cording to Alonzo Alden. director
of the Gallery, "is the hope
of attracting and enlightening
other members who have not as
yet become sufficiently inter-
ested to acquire the habit Of
collecting paintings for their
homes"
Among the contributors to the
show, which extends through
next Sunday, are the Phillips
Gallery, which lent I. Rice PEREZ
ira's abstract "Transversion," a
three-layer painting on glass
and wood; Howard University's
Frank Alston's PRESIDENTS
House; the Alden Gallery itself,
an abstraction by Theodoros
Stamos; and 19 private collec-
tors. Early works by Herman
Maril, Lois M. Jones. Nicolai
Cikovsky. Bernice Cross, and
Jack Perlmutter are among the
significant exhibits on view.

Camera AnqIes
Photo Greeting Cards Give Priced, Personal Touch
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

We still have time to make up
q supply of Photographic Christ
mas cards-if we don't put it of
any longer. A greeting card
containing your picture or one
made by you will have that per-
sonal touch that can't be dupli-
Gated by the printed cards that
most people use. But photo
greeting cards can't be whipped
together overnight. They take
care and planning so it's good
idea to get to work on them now
20 they will be ready for early
mailing.
Your 1852 greeting card can
be elaborate or simple, costly or
inexpensive-it's up to you. If
you have the time you can plan
quite an elaborate card by using
the so-called French fold type
that takes a sheet Of $40 paper,
with separate printings If the
protector is used or a single
printing from a cut-out mask if
your negatives are large enough
for contact reproduction. If you
can't give hours to the project
we suggest using ready-made
card masks that can be obtained
at drug and department stores
or from your photo dealer. With
the latter. all you need is a neg
ative to fill the empty space pro-
vided for the picture.
You needn't null around for
hours or days wondering what
sort Of picture to use for your
cards. If you are any kind of
photographer, you will have
holiday shots from last Christ
mas showing the family around
the Christmas tree or something

theme and color scheme. Rob-
ert Gates yellow Kite" (sec-
ond oil award) is a brighter

with a composition of assymet-
rical balance. The subject can
be discerned in the upper left

Seventh Area Show

The Gorcoran'S Seventh An
nual Area Exhibition comprises
273 works by pit artists. in six
classifications. which fill two
large and two small galleries and
the atrium on the first floor.
Last years area show was so
per cent larger, chosen from
fewer entries than this years.
Six hundred and six artists sub
mitted over 1,500 works last
year: this year, 1868 works were
submitted by an unknown or
unrevealed number of artists.
BY studying figures of several
years. one assumes that about
one-third of the artists who
submitted work this year, are
represented. Artists were lin
tied to two entries in each me-
dium; theoretically. each artist
could have submitted IL works.
Consequently, some are repre-
sented several times. in one or
more media.
Paintings in oil and water
color comprise about five-eighths
of the show, which made Lamar
Dodd's task much heavier than
that of the three other jurors.
Mr.. Dodd had to examine more
than 1900 entries in the two
painting classes, from which he
selected ITS; he then made IL
awards and mentions. Most of
his choices for these honors
seem to me very disappointing,
esoteric and unintelligible works.
