Richard Crump Miller was born in 1912 and resided in the Hudson Valley. His recent inclusion in the Getty Exhibit featured his work in vintage carbro prints as the last remaining master of the process from the classical carbro era through the 1940s. In the commercial arena he photographed hundreds of celebrities including the young Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, and was employed by Globe to document the major films of his day. "Originally I got my carbro materials from New York City. The first material was from Autotype in England. Their material was lousy a red instead of magenta, a cyan that was too blue. It did not give a satisfactory gray balance. They made materials for years and did not know what they were doing. Later I got materials from the McGraw Colorgraph Company in Burbank, California. They had established a business dedicated to making the finest carbro materials and built a state-of-the-art plant to do it. "The reason I have permanent prints is because McGraw went out of their way to get colorfast pigments. They'd test them on the roof of their building in the direct California sunlight and leave them there for a whole year to make sure they didn't fade. They went overboard on this.
