After finding Adamson's calotype method didn't permit much time between coating and developing when it was warm here, I decided to try Arsène Pélegry's method as modified by Rick Lanning. Aside from some speckles (my fault) it worked a treat. It's 2 stops slower than Adamson's method and perhaps more expensive, but the negatives just might last long enough to take on a trip - that would be wonderful.
Plus it seems to work well right up to the edge. I had problems with my Adamson's negatives where the varying ratios of chemicals - plus my fingerprints - would cause a lot of crap near the borders.

My cat has now taken to jumping from the fence onto my roof in order to sunbathe. Thought I had to get a shot of him leaping across.
I was in rice paddy areas, I saw clothes lines stretched out in the yards... I picked this one with the those palm trees up front, a woman walking by and then added the frame with curry berries (can be red, too) and their leaf shapes..the big change for local color there is, I used ones to match the curry frame.
Mom, Tammy and I had a wonderful Art Day Thursday! First Art Day of the year! Finally! It felt good! I liked each iteration!
What an odd place to see a pair of pants hung up.

I know it has been a lot of pics of my art these past couple weeks. But the end of the semester projects have consumed my life. Today I installed my final project for my favorite class this term. After the critique tomorrow morning I will be done for the year. I made it through my first semester back to college after 20+ years.
This is my artist statement for this piece, if you are interested ...
"Clotheslined: transition verb: to knock down (someone, such as a football player) by catching by the neck with an outstretched arm (Merriam Webster’s Dictionary).
The phrase “to be clotheslined” originated from the activity of one running and not seeing the outstretched clothesline and getting knocked down by it. In this piece, “Clotheslined by Grief” I was considering how grief can occur in us in this same manner. Be it fresh or reiterated grief, we can often be taken by surprise at it’s arrival upon our heart. Clotheslines (of different variety), wool, and recycled bed sheets were used in creating the woven grief cloud that sometimes looms over us. It is heavy upon us, but sometimes has beauty in that it is a connection to those we have lost. The clothesline netting at our feet may trip us up and the traditionally hung clothesline on the periphery of the piece holds black and white photos representing life as it happens despite grief cocooning us.
This piece is dedicated to my mom, my dad and my brother and those moments when grief, while challenging, remind me that they are woven in my soul."
