Spent the weekend playing around with albumen printing. Just wanted to go through the process once end-to-end using my equipment and chemistry. Went reasonably well: at least I got results. Lots of room for improvement, but...another tool to add to the toolbox.
Have to find the right paper, though. Of the 3-4 that I tried, only the bristol board recommended by the Eastman crew for salt printing worked well. The other papers ranged from mediocre to awful. Interestingly, the only other paper to be even OK was from a pad of writing paper I was given as a gift a while back: it was recycled from a bunch of obsolete topographical maps. The school photo above (from a found glass plate negative) has a bit of the Davis Strait and the Labrador Sea on the back...
Doing my Joshua's faceup last night because I am an impatient git who can't wait for daylight. I got an Artetje brush since it was cheap, they're pretty nice. So thin! Definitely helped with the different eyebrow style I was trying to do. I don't quite know how to stop it getting a bit blunt while painting though, towards the end it just wasn't making the same crazy superfine lines... Oh well.
The nailclippers weren't for anything, I use the pin to scratch away some paint lines though.

Once upon a blue moon, when I still thought wig-making might be fun, I bought a lot of raw, dirty and completely tangeled Suri alpaca hair of a truly gorgeous sunny blond colour. I found out the hard way that wig-making isn´t exactly my idea of a good time (...in fact, it´s the total opposite...) and I put the fibre away where it couldn´t remind me of my utter failure at something that everybody else and their Uncle Bob seemingly masters with joy and ease. Last week, when my Phoenix Dolls Elle head arrived, I remembered that lot of hair, thinking it would be the perfect colour for her. So I began processing the raw mess just for the hell of it, washing it about five times to get it clean, and losing half of the hair just trying to comb the knots out. In the end, what´s left is a less an half an ounce of fibre, and I´m at a complete loss if this would be enough to make a short-hair wig for an 8 inch head. I´m now looking for someone brave and professional who´d try and turn it into a wig for my new lady.
A Japanese city is a compact, densely populated, relatively clean, fully 3 dimensional space. I can't tell you how many times I failed simply to look up, missing out on restaurants, Izakaya, who knows what else? I attribute it to my South-Western American upbringing. If you've ever been, you've noticed how wide open and sprawling a space it is. There's no need to build up, yet. And if you've ever been to an East Asian city, it's the complete opposite. Since we're all going to be living in cities in a hundred years time, the West should really take some pointers from Japanese and Korean city planners...
The old mileage post has been standing on the platform at Earlswood Station since 1908, one of the very few original objects left from the GWR era.

Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
