Another angle of the crossroads and grave with a negative finish
This is the famous Jay's grave on the crossroads near swallerton gate,Dartmoor, Devon (732799).
This is the sad story of Kitty Jay, who was a tenant farmer who fell in love with the landowner's son and, persuaded by his stories of love, marriage and a life of happiness, was seduced by him. When, after a long night of passion, she reminded him of his promises, he laughed at her, telling her he would never marry so lowly a person, especially one that would contemplate sex before marriage! Kitty went home and after a long day of inconsoluble sadness and hanged herself in her father's barn. Suicides were not allowed a christian burial and their spirits were feared by local folk. Kitty was therefore buried without ceremony at this crossroads, the hope being that her spirit, confused by the number of roads, would not wander and so would not be able to plague the neighbourhood.
Many years later a man wanting to know the truth of the story excavated the grave site and found that it did indeed contain the skeleton of a young woman. the man created the grave pictured above with a new headstone. There the story would have ended, but it is said that flowers are regularly placed on the grave by a ghostly hand and that those who stay at the crossroads at night to try to watch are driven away by perceived terrors before the flowers arrive. As you can see the ghostly hands have been very busy as there are numerous flowers in attendance.
I had this idea to scan some of my many APS negative canisters to digital. After trial and error I've worked out how to get the negative out of the canister. I have a Maplin negative scanner that I bought in 2012. It does not have a negative tray for this type of film but I've sussed out how to scan them in.

This guy used to skateboard in front of my dorm. He seemed pretty good. I needed to get something shot for a photography class so I asked him. The results were great. I have several good prints that I scanned. My glass sandwich rig was a great opportunity to recapture some of the images that did not get printed in the dark room.
These were made by shooting a negative sandwiched between two pieces of glass. Different light sources and backgrounds produce very interesting effects while digitizing the content.
This flickr account was set up to store the negatives I buy at ebay, antique shops, flea markets, etc. I scan or photograph the negatives, process them, and then post them here. I enjoy discovering and revealing these images that otherwise might be lost.

All Saints church, Ramsholt, Suffolk
This wonderful church sits in the middle of nowhere above the marshes on the east bank of the Deben. It is one of my family's favourite places. Lots more here.
These photographs are taken from negatives from the summer of 2003.
cyanotype, positive and negative sunprints on RC paper, on canvas. The image is my son taken just after he got his first electric guitar 2 years ago. I made the cyanotype and sun prints as demos in Photo II.

This was a challenging assignment to say the least. I found myself shooting 3 rolls of film for negative space assignment and got lost in the moment. after shooting 35 pictures I had one shot left. I spent about 2 hours at a specific location shooting various negative spaces, but something caught my eye just as I was about to leave. I was getting in my car and I noticed these trees in the background. It's funny how you totally miss something that was right in front of you the whole time. The thing I really find interesting about the photo is the way I captured that sunbeam hitting the left tree. There is a perfect sunlit circle and the exposure was dead on. When shooting I had a difficult time because of all the dark shadows and shade all around the trees. This was a fun assignment and now it really makes me more aware of all the negative space in photos. We are learning to see more with exercises in Right vs Left brain. I have started to really open my eyes up while out and about and have found so many wonderful locations. I just need to get out and shoot!
This series was about photographic minimalism. The images are taken from unexposed sheets of 4x5 film that were developed and then burned.

This photo is Shayden's shadow against the projector. The composition I am trying to show here is Negative Space, I believe this shows negative space because of Shayden's shadow looking so dark while editing the projector in the back so it has different layers of colour making it look interesting. What I like about this photo is that it was one of my first and I like the position that Shayden is in and the fact that his arm goes through the whole photo, not leaving a break. What I wish I could've fixed my position so I could've gotten Shayden's whole finger in the photo.
