Last week the Mill Co. 3rd Annual Exhibition opened. Mill Co. is a co-operative and the exhibition was sponsored by the Co-op so guess what the brief was? "Co-operation". This was my contribution and the description that went with it...

This piece is created using the Polaroid emulsion lift process. Each individual photograph is soaked in water until the photographic emulsion floats free. This is then transferred to the paper – each picture is part of the whole, each unremarkable in their own right, but stronger together.
The work features key buildings from the co-operative movement – the building where the Rochdale Pioneers first began on Toad Lane as well as Robert Owen’s Mill building in New Lanark, Scotland. You will also find the modern Co-op buildings, the “Rochdale Pioneers” train, and elements from the Occupy movement alongside several other geographical details.
Meanwhile, the skies are filled with starling murmurations - each bird strives to fly as close to its neighbours as possible, instantly copying any changes in speed or direction. This results in any tiny deviations by one bird being magnified and distorted by those surrounding it – a natural reflection of the co-operative.
To create this piece, I gathered open source imagery and accepted contributions from photographers across the country willing to share their work. These were then re-photographed from the screen onto Polaroid film using a specialist medical camera in order to make the transfers making a collaborative “open source” work.

Contact print on Cass Art watercolour paper coated with handmade silver gelatin chloride 'Gaslight' emulsion.
This is probably the easiest silver gelatin emulsion to make. Distilled water, gelatin, silver nitrate, potassium chloride, vodka, wetting agent.

Finally got around to spending some time working out the image corrections needed for printing on Polaroid B&W iType on the Polaroid Lab Printer.
Then spent some more time getting the lift process "perfected". The B&W film has a milky coating (which doesn't appear to come off) on what would be the top side which reduces contrast of the lifts. I "fixed" this by flipping my images before printing and mounting the lifts milky side down.
Very fresh prints and very hot water make the separation of Polaroid layers quite simple.

Polaroid Week: Day 2 - 1
Mixed emulsion lift from Polaroid Go film and Polaroid B&W I-type film with dried stem and leaves
It's the first time I have done an emulsion lift with more than one exposure, but it was a satisfactory experience.

Adding extra silver to a gaslight emulsion lets it print out in the same way as salt prints or cyanotypes do.

Foma's liquid emulsion with hardener on Lokta paper 30x40 cm (handmade Nepalese paper, see link below if you want to know more). The paper is thin (65 gsm) so I mounted it on a FB paper to make it sturdier for the wet process. This first experiment with no pre-treatment of the paper shows how much impurities there are. I'm surprised that it became an image at all.
The halo and vignetting came as an unintended bonus :-)
Developed in Moersch SE2 1+20, fixed in Adofix PII (hardening) and toned in Se 1+9, 60 sec.
Lokta paper is handmade paper from Nepal.
Nepali kagaj or Nepali paper, is a wildcrafted, handmade artisan paper indigenous to Nepal. It is made from the bark of two of the species of the shrub Daphne.
Found this in an artist webshop in Sweden.

Leica M6 and probably 50 mm elmar. Tri-X.
Don’t have a scanner that is big enough for this size, so a snap with the IPhone must do. But to give you the exact right colors end impression is hard.
This is a Polaroid emulsion lift. The original photo was taken with a Agfa Viking and expired and cross processed Agfa Portrait 160. Then, I used a Daylab to transfer the image to Polaroid Type 669. The transfer is on thick card stock that I have painted with gouache. The dimensions for the paper are approx. 4.75" x 6.75". Signed and dated on the back.
This is available in my Etsy (link on my profile). Although I am still running my 50% off sale in my Etsy to help out with Suttree's ongoing vet bills, this is not eligible.
Lomochrome Purple. I really do like this stuff, though I have probably shot only about 10 rolls of it altogether. I keep reminding myself to use it more, but individual emulsions are like some people's watch list on Netflix, or a list of all the books you mean to read. There just isn't enough time for all of them. But considering how much this film likes green landscapes, this seems like a good time to be using it...
It isn't simply the film's look that fascinates me though. The whole mystery of its origins is like a good whodunnit. Lomography is notoriously tight-lipped about it, even though I have plied my connections at the company for any info. I am really impressed by their information discipline in this regard. I do think it would be one of those cases where the truth is far less interesting than the mystery though, so I am fine with not knowing all the details of its production. I did hear a rumor though of the possible resurrection of a Lomochrome film once thought all gone. I am hesitant to say any more on that myself but not out of a need for secrecy, rather a desire not to unduly stir up hope where I am not sure it yet exists.
But anyway, I ramble. Or perhaps I am just thinking out loud to myself. I'll get a roll of Lomochrome Purple in a camera this weekend I think. And now I'm heading off-line to go work on that aforementioned book list. Netflix will wait for another evening. There are only so many hours in the day.

Emulsion of nasturtium petals, placed under a digital photo transparency and exposed to the sun for 7 days in Oct. 2021.
This is what you get when you shine a light on to a mixture of water and cooking oil on the surface of a blank CD. Just by moving your hand in front of the light you can change shapes and colors. Fun stuff to play with.
I have an album of these images if you en joy abstract color and shapes. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/albums/72157625787156195
Emulsion of pokeberry berries, placed under a digital photo transparency and exposed to the sun for 21 days in Oct. 2021.
Pokeberry is such a strong dye and it takes a really long time to bleach out even a little.
A little change of pace from my usual still life subjects. This is what comes from putting oil on water on a shiny blank CD and then shining a light on it. It's fun stuff to play with.
