Photographer, designer, coder. Here I am exploring Alternative Photography: old film cameras, large format cameras, wet plates, dry plates, alternative processing.
All photography is my photography unless otherwise noted.
Continuing with dry plates. Second one from the Shelburne Museum, VT. The pour is a bit uneven on the plate, but the look of of it goes well with the historic subject Shot on a Busch Pressman Model D. #dryplate #ShelburneMuseum #altnerativephotography

Starting with dry plates. One of my first taken - Ticonderoga, Shelburne Museum, VT. The uniqueness of every hand-poured plate is part of the joy of the development. Never completely sure how the emulsion took. Shot on a Busch Pressman Model D. #dryplate #ShelburneMuseum #altnerativephotography

Dying Dallas Rose test print. Re-exploring Cyanotypes; it has been a long time. The cyan tone is best appreciated in person, holding and feeling the texture of the paper while enjoying the print. #cyanotype #nc #photography #alternativephotography

Attended a weekend intensive workshop on transforming photographs into layered Risograph prints. Love learning new tools and methods. I'll be exploring Risograph prints more in the future. #risograph #nc #photography

Colonial Williamsburg in VA always has great garden blooms in the spring and summer. Testing of a Pt/Pd print from an iPhone image. Having difficulty with lines from the Epson printer, but it's worth pursuing.

Test Print - 20% Palitnum Solution. Using a negative from a model shoot a few years ago for chemistry and light testing. Updating my UV light source soon - this is the before print for comparison. #NC #photography #platinumpalladium #platinumpalladiumprint #printing

Platinum Pallidum printing is my 'me' time from start to finish - photography, editing, digital negatives, creating emulsion, development, just the whole process.
Current work print ~ Blacksmith shop at Shelburne Museum in VT.
