My new years resolution is simple: this year I want to learn one or two alternative processes for making beautiful one-off prints. I have been playing around with cyanotype and salted paper in the past, but I want more.
Now I'm trying Albumen. This is the first half decent result.
What I've learned so far:
- I should be more patient (write 50 times...)
- after beating the egg whites to a froth, I should let the albumen settle until it is mostly liquid again
- the type of paper is really important. I'm getting the best results with Hahnemuhle Platinum rag so far, so let's stick to that or similar for a while.
- Wait until the sensitized paper is dry, don't start printing too early
- Use dense negatives (which are 1,5-2 stops overdeveloped I guess). I'm not sure yet, but this seems critical.
- my old solarium seems to work well as a light source
- I should use heavier glass to flannel the negative against the paper
Maybe I should do a course to steepen the learning curve. Any tips on Albumen (or Kallitype) courses in or near the Netherlands would be welcome!
Dear friends,
Life is fragile but also very nice and warm.
My mom is out of the hospital! She has a pace maker, because without it she should be with my father in heaven. The rhythm is only from the pace maker now, but she is stable. I hope for a good quality of life left for her! She is home right now!!!

“Human beings are frail and temporary, like grass, and the glory of man fleeting like blossoms of the field. But what God has said will stand forever." "God loved the people of this world so much that He gave Jesus Christ, His only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die." (1 Pet 1:24,25 John 3:16)

I tried this composition shifted (camera level) and unshifted (camera angled up) and preferred the unshifted one.

In the quiet spaces between hope and despair, we wear our most delicate selves. This image reflects the bittersweet fragility of seeking connection, only to feel the weight of solitude. We are like angels with fragile wings, yearning for companionship but carrying the scars of rejection. Still, we shine in our vulnerability, finding beauty even in sadness.
Non permettere mai alla tua mente di ospitare pensieri di malattia o di limitazione: vedrai che il tuo corpo cambierà in meglio. Ricorda che la mente è il potere che governa questo corpo, quindi se la mente è debole anche il corpo diventa debole. Non intristirti o preoccuparti di nulla.
Se rafforzi la tua mente non sentirai sofferenze fisiche. Non importa cosa succede, devi essere assolutamente libero nella tua mente.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Never allow your mind to entertain thoughts of disease or limitation: you will see that your body will change for the better. Remember that the mind is the power that governs this body, so if your mind is weak, the body also becomes weak. Not intristirti or worry about anything.
If you strengthen your mind does not feel physical pain. No matter what happens, you have to be absolutely clear in your mind.

Hello amazing Flickr people !!
Today at Color my World Daily Group is a purple day. And the theme at the fabulous Smile on Saturday Group is egg. And who loves eggs??? Me, me, me !! I love especially chocolate eggs (I would love to see a chocolate egg filled with alcohol, perhaps sherry… or some coffee liquor… does it exist already???) but for my pictures I prefer white chicken eggs. And during our staying inside time, I’m using a lot of eggs: my oldest son and I, we are cooking every day and usually there are one or two eggs involved…
I’m always amazed to see how fragile but at the same time how strong eggshells are! They can do anything until they break and fall apart in pieces (a little bit like me right now during this “social distancing / stay inside / everything will be all right” time….).
Every time one of my sons is holding a raw egg, I’m so afraid he will drop it on the floor (or even worst on his brother head lol and eggs are very good for hair !)!! But when you have to break an egg it is more difficult than expected…and some times you end up with a mess on your hands.
I was thinking a lot about eggs lately… How symbolic and strong they are. You can never know how far an egg will go… It could become a chicken or end up feeding a hungry family (that is more likely…) or just accidently fall on the floor or your sibling’s head. After few sips of my gin & tonic, I was convinced that eggs can accomplish anything they have on their minds…
Riding a bike, for instance… Is it possible for an egg? If you are an egg, should you ride a bike very fast and do some acrobatic jumps on it? Should an egg wear a helmet ?? Well too bad, I didn’t had time to make one (I’m sure there is a tutorial on YouTube for that…) so no helmet for my egg… But it has to wear some kind of sing to tell other cyclist to be careful… Why not a big “fragile” written all across the egg. That is perfect, let’s go for a bike ride with our fragile but strong egg…
In a way, eggs are like us: so strong but so fragile. It takes a small sneeze or a microscopical virus to break the hardest and the toughest of us …and we can clearly see this right now…So be careful my friends, take care of yourself and your loved ones, we are more fragile than we think!! Stay safe and healthy my friends!
I think I had way too much gin in my tonic…and this is basically my thinking process behind that picture.
I hope that my acrobatic egg and my nonsense story made you smile!
Happy Smile on Saturday and CMWD to all participants !! I wish you a beautiful
and amazing day!!! We will have a FaceTime party with friends at 17h tonight!!!! So cheers !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!!
