For Macro Mondays - Cutter
The tip (1 1/4 inches) of an old, disused small pruning saw. Not sure why it wasn't thrown out years ago!
Happy Macro Monday!
One day, while at the inauguration of a photographic exhibition, I was going out to take the air, a blind person crossed in front of the gallery. At that moment I became aware of something very obvious: blind people cannot see photographs. For several years, I created several collections that were called "Photographs to see and touch." This is one of them. With a cutter, I scratched the emulsion on the outline of the objects that made up the photograph, as if drawing on it, creating small scratched lines that formed a relief. In this way the photograph could be looked at, but it was also possible to touch it with the fingers and feel the reliefs of the drawing. Over time I started to use metallic photographic paper, a high quality paper in the image, but that scratches very easily. I discovered that if the photograph was scratched with the cutter, with a very sharp point and very delicately, you could get stripes of different colors by tearing the three color layers of the emulsion. With Fuji Professional Lux Color Metallic Photo Paper, stripes, oranges, reds, yellows and browns colors were obtained. On the contrary, with Fuji Professional Lux Chrome Metallic Photo Paper, blue, cyan, violet and greenish colors were obtained. To get the white stripes... easy... I scratched harder, piercing the emulsion and showing the base paper of the photo, in this case, metallic paper. Subsequently, I used photographic anilines to color and intensify the colors obtained. For this photo I used Fuji Velvia 50 Professional color reversal film and Fuji Professional Lux Color metallic paper. Scan: Epson Perfection V-700 Photo.

Situations
Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams (2005)
Situación número uno: es la que acaba de empezar, pero evidentemente es demasiado tarde.
Situación número dos: es la única oportunidad para ti, pero está controlada por los habitantes del odio.
Situación número tres: es la que nadie ve, demasiado a menudo és descartada como destino.
Situación número cuatro: la que te dejó con ganas de más... te tentó con su cebo.

Even in 2023, the flowers in little world must be cared for and cherished. Just as people need to go to the hairdresser, the flowers need to be cut from time to time. Of course, this is once again a job for the little helpers. I am sure that they will support me actively also in 2023.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!
