I am interested in your gallery. Can you send me more information? Thanks
Hi Joy – thanks for your interest in GALLERY5X7! Feel free to email me for additional details: wjeastman@gallery5x7.
I create photographic prints in the following processes; gum bichromate, cyanotype and toned Kallitype. Is it possible to submit a portfolio for review and possible inclusion in the gallery?
Thanks,

Dear Joe!
My name is Daniel Zilbersheid. I live in Israel and work as a chemist researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For years I have been dealing with alternative printing and have my own improvements in such methods as GumOil, Carbon Transfer, Wet Plate, Lith Print. My works are exhibited periodically in Israel and abroad, but there is practically no market for them in Israel. That’s why I was greatly encouraged to hear about your online gallery. I hope you will be interested in my work. If they interest you, please let me know.
Best regards,
Daniel Zilbersheid
I’ve taken a look a your work and am impressed! I emailed you with some thoughts – I look forward to seeing more of your work!
