[made in Dessau - HS Anhalt - october 2010]
My first ever photogram from back in September. I used my key necklace and laid it out over the photopaper and then ran the timer/light.
I think this is some type of Nightshade, but I always call them poisonberries.

I had so much fun making these last semester. When i randomly grabbed some pages from an old magazine, I was going more for the images, but I ended up LOVING the way the typography turned out.
Cyanotype photogram on Canson XL Mixed-media paper. Developed in 1:10 solution of white vinegar and water.
I did this while at Art college in Watford in the sixties. The Photographic department was at the Printing college on Hempstead Road, Watford being a big print town at that time. This was my take on a photogram exercise set by Raymond Moore, photographer and tutor. Made using an enlarger with a simple mask and fluids (very 60's :-) and an improvised turn table made from an Ilford bromide box and drawing pin. Mark Boyle who did lightshows for 'The Soft Machine' and 'Jimi Hendrix' was also a tutor at Watford at that time.
