We walk the paths on earth, we appreciate landscapes and moments, we are grateful for what we have lived, because we don't know when we will die.

Platinum/Palladium-toned Kallitype print (5" x 7")

Digitised print after 24hours of drying: capturing now though I expect it to shift to charcoal black over the course of a week.

Hopefully 6 more in the series to come, from 20 exposures on HP5+ across 2 rolls of film (astonishing success rate for the abstract/serendipitous nature of the process of making these). The series is basically all full-frame or close to full-frame exposures, with digital editing only used for local contrast and a modicum of cleaning up. So there will be (hopefully) seven Argyrotypes in this series, alongside the one cyanotype from a DSLR - basically I used the DSLR to confirm the setup for the shot, including the shutter speed I thought I needed (1/125 was correct). Thought about making these with the Chamonix 10x8 but obviously the shutter speed would have been majorly problematic.

The other odd thing about this series is that, in a way, they are all self-portraits. At some point I will explain...

This is the second of four in a batch of Platinum/Palladium-toned Kallitype I made on Saturday. I made these on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag paper, which seems to take on much less of a brownish tone that the other papers I've used. I made the original photo with a Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF16mm f/1.4 lens.
