When printing was as much an art form as a technology.
Or, the day the people at the Print Shop at History San José set me and my camera loose in their type storage cabinets.
Having had some experience with off-set printing in the past, it was interesting to see how they used to do it.
CN L537 comes to a stop at the end of double-track territory at Kelley behind a pair of IC SD70s. The train has just emerged from underneath McCormick Place which is located next to the historic R.R. Donnelley printing plant on the right, built in segments between 1912 and 1929.
These are 2 silver gelatin prints with elements of chemigram and lumen printing from my project "Traces".
”Traces” is a series that explores the transformation of identity over time. It delves into the fluid nature of "the self," questioning how much of who we are is shaped by our past versus the influence of fate. Through this work, I sought to deconstruct the familiar image we recognize as ourselves and rebuild it through a variety of alternative techniques. I employed methods such as manipulating the negative, experimenting with alternative chemical processes in the darkroom, and incorporating mixed media on the final prints. The portraits, captured on film first and finally printed on paper, reflect a layered process that blends traditional analog techniques with experimental approaches to reimagine the subject’s identity.
Happy President's Day to my American friends. Happy Monday to my other friends.

My Grandmother - Lucy - a President and mentor to me.
She was nick named "lightning" by my grandfather (her husband) Cecil Dopson, for her high energy and spark. A well deserved moniker.
I think her middle name, Jubilee, was given her because one of her parents was 50 years old when she was born about the turn of the century - a late child to be sure. Soon she was on her own in a world that did not think women should work.
She made her way and became a photographer and worked for McDaniel's Photography lab in Jacksonville, Florida - long before women were supposed to work or be professionals.
{added comments for People Who Mattered} So many people have made a difference in my life. Love my parents and so many neighbors and mentors. But, without a doubt, the single strongest influence was this lady, my grandmother, Lucy Jubilee Hopkins Dopson.
She gave me and my brothers piggy banks for Christmas and told us that if we filled them she would take us on vacation trips - she paid for everything except she made us use our savings to buy junk and ice cream.
She let me use her camera and she paid for the then extravagant cost of film, development and printing - if and only if - I kept a detailed log of every shot I took recording the light, time of day, aperture, shutter speed, etc.
Then she would review each image and ask me about them and if I was satisfied with the outcome.
(added "coral bean" and "Cherokee bean" tags supplied by photo707 for the bean pods.)
I should do more with my photos. I have printed off a load for the flat that are framed in the hall but apart from paying £70 for a massive canvas that i gave away i've not really done much printing.
I seen a photobook review in a photography magazine that i occasionally buy(Digital Photography) and thought why not give that a try. So i went for the company that got the highest score in the review(Bobs Books). The book ended up being £49, the one on review was £39 but that was before p&p and i spent £5 on a cool gloss on the cover lettering.
The quality is great and i've got no complaints but for £49 you would hope that is standard! The only reason i justified buying the book was because i sold a few photographs and it would be rude not to put a bit of the money back into something that helped me make a bit of money from something i enjoy.
Caucasus again showed its character here...
It was raining for 3 days, so this is one of the best pictures from me staying by this lake and volcano. Volcano is dormant

Lens EXIF data not recorded correctly. The lens was a 7Artisans 35mm f/0.95. Aperture used unknown.
The five remarkably small and details prints were meant as models to decorate objects such as clocks, locks, boxes, vessels, cabinets and swords. One of De Bry’s two circular designs represents a duke as Commander of Folly encircled by hybrid creatures in ungainly poses. Similarly, the strange beings surrounding Charles V’s profile seem to underscore his enlarged lower jaw, a deformity the worsened in later Habsburg generations.
Another photo from my trip to Beckford Silk. This is a Silk Printing Block. They were used before screen printing took over. Beckford Silk bought a collection of these blocks from David Evans Ltd who had been silk printers since the 1850s, but they closed about 10 years ago. The blocks were made between the 1890s and the 1920s.

Fun with 3D printing! Here's a stick puzzle made up of 30 identical sticks - each piece represents an edge of a dodecahedron which have been rotated by a constant angle. George Hart wrote a great paper about how to design these models: archive.bridgesmathart.org/2011/bridges2011-357.pdf
