Hey Fellow VZ fans. I did some searching on ebay and found this listing of an original Tom Millea “platinum” print (Set 215 on the VZ index). The starting bid is for $499.99. See the pic which was attached along with the bid below:
“Update — See reply by t-man for a link to Tom Millea’s” wesbite and a description of the “platinum printing process”
Hi Tobey … yes thanks for pointing out. Tom’s claim to fame are his “platinum” prints. Unlike silver halide used for every other black and white print you might have seen in the past, he used “platinum” for his prints. Unlike silver prints which fade over time, these platinum prints will last forever and have a certain “sheen” to them you have to see to really appreciate. I myself am the proud owner of one of these originals (ie. Tom only ever produced one of each print!!!). I know that he has a few more left to sell directly … if anyone is interested in owning what I consider to be “museum” worthy “platinum” print of Veronika consider contacting Tom at his website, or to simply learn more about the platinum printing process see here:
