Our first assignment for photography class was to make a gray scale and 5 photograms. I hated doing the gray scale, I wasted close to 10 pieces of very expensive photo paper making mine and still it turned out crooked. Ugh. I liked doing the photograms though. This one and the star ones are my favorities.
Ps. The printed pictures are much better than the scans.
Some fresh flowers from the garden, today is very cold. Since i was having the chemicals all open already, why not do some more traditional photo-grams. Using Agfa Paper, exposed with RGB LED (white color used) for 20 seconds from 1.5m distance giving good sharp contours. Development with dilute bw developer till image a bit too dark, then fix and bleach back and fix repeatedly till I like it.

Exposure very short about 1 minute by tracing the object
Tried my hand at photograms. These are made by exposing photographic paper (with objects laid on it) to sunlight. The result is then scanned to preserve it.
Assignment for my film photography class. This is both the negative and positive of the image I created. The positive (right) makes a mirror image of the negative (left). My inspiration mostly came from Man Ray, who used film strips in some of his photograms. Each print is 8"x10".

The red color is because I wetted the paper and washed with handsoap exposed wet.
Reasoning is that there may be some developer in the paper present already when alkaline and wet it should darken the paper while exposing, and that is the case it is getting to a chocolate brown very quick ie needs very little exposure.

Der Maiglöckchenschnabel
braucht keine Gabel,
er braucht auch kein Messer,
er ist Allesfresser,
weil er alles verschlingt,
was ihm gelingt.
Mäuse und Lerchen
ein Ameisenbärchen,
Selbst Gebirge und Stein
verleibt er sich ein.
The lily-of-the-valley beak,
when it starts the breakfast seek,
never needs no knife no fork,
just to catch a peace of pork;
omnivorecab always eat.
Every plant and every meat
that comes ever in its way
moves into its mouth astray.
Mice and larks, anteaters, too,
even mountains and stones, that’s true.
Клюв ландышевой пташки
не просит ложки-чашки.
Не нужен ножик тоже,
он всё сжевать ведь может.
Он всё подряд глотает,
что в клювик залетает.
И мышек, и жучков,
и маленьких сверчков.
Съест птичку и букашку,
и даже черепашку.
Глотает он давно
и камни заодно.
И горы великаньи
сжует без колебаний.

Der Gemeine Maiglöckchenschnabel (Lilium-vallis rostriformae)
Der gemeine Maiglöckchenschnabel verschnabelt alles, was ihm in den Weg kommt. Ob Tier, ob Pflanze, ob Pilz, ob Vielkernschleimpilze (Blob, Physarum polycephalum). Wenn aber nichts kommt, beginnt er zu suchen. Dann verschmäht der Gemeine Maiglöckchenschnabel weder Steine noch Gebirge, weder Sümpfe noch Lavaströme. Diese extreme Anpassung bei guter Mimikry ermöglicht ihm das Überleben.
The common lily-of-the-valley beak (Lilium-vallis rostriformae)
The common lily-of-the-valley beak devours everything that comes into its way. Whether animal, plant, fungus, or plasmodial slime mold (Blob, Physarum polycephalum). But when nothing comes along, it begins to search. Then the common lily-of-the-valley beak despises neither stones nor mountains, neither swamps nor streams of lava. This extreme adaptability, together with good mimicry, enables its survival.
Обыкновенный ландышеклюв (Lilium-vallis rostriformae)
Обыкновенный ландышеклюв, also Клюв ландышевой пташки, пожирает всё, что попадается ему на пути. Будь то животное, растение, гриб или многоядерный слизевик (Blob, Physarum polycephalum). Но если ничего не встречается, он начинает поиски. Тогда обыкновенный ландышеклюв не брезгует ни камнями, ни горами, ни болотами, ни потоками лавы. Эта чрезвычайная приспособляемость вместе с хорошей мимикрией обеспечивает ему выживание.
I had a piece of photo paper left from something else I was doing, so just left it on the windowsill with some objects to see what happened. Took a fair few hours as it was a bit cloudy..
Another from this weekends project. This one is as easy as they come, I cut a thin slice of orange and put it on the page. I know what your saying, "that's not an orange, it's a red". Well since I am using B&W photo paper and there is no camera, realistic portrayal of said orange wasn't the important thing to me. I was more interested in how the acidic juices would react with the paper. This is by far one of the sharpest and richly detailed photograms I've made. In post I just boosted the original colors and made the dull grey-ish background white to give it that nice clean look. The next time I use a piece of fruit or veg I might make a traced stencil of the slice I'm using so that the page surrounding the subject stays white. Only thought of that trick after making this one.

Den Gerberabaum
erkennt man hier kaum.
Er tarnt sich als Igel
und wächst auf dem Ziegel.
Er tarnt sich als Schuh,
ein Stock kommt dazu,
Er tarnt sich als Besen,
als höheres Wesen.
Er tarnt sich als Traum.
Der Gerberabaum.
You barely can see
the Gerbera tree;
It disguises itself
as a hedgehog on shelf,
as a match on a brick
as a shoe with a stick,
as a snowflake when skiing
as a strange higher being.
Not easy to see:
The Gerbera tree.
Дерево герберы
узнать здесь еле-еле.
То ёжиком притворится —
на кирпиче поместится.
То обувью нарядится,
а к ней палка прилепится.
То веником прикинется,
то высшим существом.
То вдруг окажется сном.
Дерево герберы.

Dried Lily Leaf: made with light, paper, glass, leaf in darkroom - no negative, no enlargement. (leaf size exceeds my 8x10 paper but that didn't stop me....)
no time for more color but thought I will check my LED setup for x-ray film exposure. Seems in my setup on low setting and led on the ceiling it is about 5 seconds to the some details, perhaps a bit shorter but still developing very cold 10 C. Had to bleach and fix to correct a bit since when it looks good under red-light x-ray film has 2 sides so it ended up bit dark. Lots of scratches also even when I was using only gloves to touch. I tried in computer to make a positive but think it looks better in negative. post edit on the computer and added some color.

This was developed in Caffenol C developer (instant coffe, washing soda, vitamin C). My first attempt in DIY photo chemistry.
I developed the lumen photograms in dilute developer, or fixed direc, or first bleached before processing, then developing in dilute paper developer and then fixing. They now should be real to light. When first bleaching it goes more to gray black, when first developing it keeps the brown color from the exposure.
After exposure, first bleached in C41 bleach then redeveloped in dilute paper developer in light by inspection pulled washed and fixed. This gives a more grey final image.
A photograph of a photograph of photograms. During a visit to the Walker Art Center, they had a little hands-on workshop to create photograms, the camera-less way to capture images and the descendant of photography. Mary made spirals while I made what we'll say are two abstract trees in the rain.
My 52 week project for 2017: a photo each week with the Leica Sofort and a photo of the resulting print at the scene of the shooting.
A photogram made by placing several slices of lemon directly onto colour photographic paper, thus creating an image of their transparency. The other white "shadows" are of tomato vine stems, and the background texture is created by enlarging the grain of handmade paper which was placed in the negative carrier. The lemons and tomato stems were placed on a piece of cellophane and some of the creases are visible, as well as some gathered drops of the lemon juice. The varied thicknesses of the lemon slices are what determine both its transparency/translucency and the clarity of the detail - compare the two touching slices nearest to the centre of the image. Deliberate slight cyan cast. No digital manipulation.
