The Quarters (8x10 salt print positive)

Taken in New Orleans, Louisiana

 

This is my first Calotype negative and salt print positive combination that is worth showing after a steep learning curve. Many thanks to Wlodek (paperlink) for sending his instructions and several encouraging emails back in May--it has taken this long to reach this point!

 

Negative: Pelegry process with no whey. Borden and Riley marker paper. Developed in gallic acid. Waxed with some graphite pencil masking of the sky to lighten.

 

Positive: Salt print on Arches Platine 310g paper. Iodized (floated) with ammonium chloride/sodium citrate/gelatin.
