a spread in my Amber art book that I did in August - was experimenting with white on white layers
here are the layers as I remember them:
1: gesso
2: collage with white papers
3: texture using fiber paste and modeling paste with stencils
4: some white and turquoise gelatos to bring out the texture
5: finishing touches with ivory Faber Castel marker, gold Sharpie and woodgrain word stickers
Experiments with polygons and branching techniques. Polygons create succeeding generations once the saturation threshold is exceeded.
Raw OpenGL rendering done in processing. Branch age, generations from oldest (red) to youngest (green)
Light exposed faulty 120 Lomography colour film, put through the black and white print developing chemicals.
Another version of experimenting with hollywood styled shot. Two lights. Trying to get one of famour Deitrich shots reproduced. Need main light to be on the right, not on the left (that was typical brain fart). Need "hair light" to be more intense - may be replace gridded soft with directly snooted light.
Turns out - not a lot of difference between narrow grid on 7" light, and frensel lens with focused diffused internal baffle . And when light is not diffused it projects pattern of original bulb, which sucks... More experimenting required (plus it starts to heat up REALLY fast).

Playing around with Black and White conversions in photoshop. Not quite as fun as the old-school way in the darkroom but much less messy and your hands don't smell afterwards!
Back in 1977, a buddy and I planned this photo-walkabout from Ramstein villiage to Landstuhl castle. This is an experimental photo I took of him as we were inside one of the more unimproved areas of the castle. This is a scanned image. I processed it in my own darkroom using an Ilford matte paper. I flicked the light on for a split second while the image was processing and this was the strange result. Of course, now we can achieve this effect using software.
Connectivity and readymade practice : experimenting, manipulating and combining of daily life objects in order to attempt or to force a connection, at least to make it visible and possible for a further installation or project.

On our way to Guise Bay we stopped at Experiment Bight to take some photos. The beach here was amazing. There were lots of shells and the sand was really soft and warm.
