This is more experiment than anything else. It is a cyanotype image printed through a digital negative, which is something I have recently started. The interesting thing is that one of the papers I have been experimenting with is Shushoku. This is a paper that shows shiny, rayon fibers on the printing side, which I am not sure yet whether it is interesting or distracting.
Another oddity is that the paper appears to change contrast depending upon the angle at which one views it. This is probably because of the fibers, which catch the light in different ways as the paper is moved about.
A simple design here. I love the way that the elevators cross one another, following a design that takes one back and forth across the image.
I am not sure what my daughter was looking for – newts perhaps? This was not taken at the same time as Discovery, but many years later, so perhaps it was something else.
The Chesapeake Bay has much to offer anyone, from boating to just enjoying the water. The trees along on tributary to the Bay appeared to be opening its arms to me. This could have been taken in a threatening way, but I tried to print it in a more friendly mode, so I decided that Cyanotype would be able to offer it in such a way.
I have said that when one finishes taking a picture they should turn around to see if another image exists. There have been numerous times when I have been fixated on a particular scene to the exclusion of everything else, and have been surprised by what I might have missed had I not turned around.
This is the same idea, where in addition to the House Of Dreams picture I decided to go behind the subject and shoot from there. This is a 4X5″ image taken with my old Pacemaker Graphic through my 127mm lens, printed as a cyanotype.
