How I "developed" this:
1) Shot a leaf with red and green highlights floating on water
2) Use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom software to convert the color spectrum using a "Deep Negative" preset I downloaded from the web
3) Used Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 software to recover some of the details through levels adjustments
The purists probably won't like it, but I thought it blurred the distinction between photography and art.
If you have the time, I hope you'll view this at the larger size linked below:

The maw of the storm that just rolled through Kalamazoo. Heids and I were scurrying out to pick some raspberries and I took a few extra moments to observe the sky.
Day 56 - "Negative space". I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all worried about coming out in a heinous rash with the $2 shop face paint.
Negative Stacking
I used to do quite a bit of negative stacking in the enlarger in the 90s when I had my own darkroom and an enlarger that would take a 4X5 negative. I was gifted with an A4 LED light tablet for my birthday and decided to try a bit of negative stacking to see if I could reprise that technique in my repertoire.
This is the actual window at Lacock Abbey, UK which formed the subject of the first ever negative produced by William Henry Fox Talbot the inventor of the salted paper and calotype processes
Summer solstice to winter solstice, 6 month pinhole exposure in paint can pinhole camera. Facing due west or thereabouts.
Circa: 1890's
This negative had gotten wet at some point in its lifetime. You can see the mold that had formed along the edges attempting to work its way to the center. Lucky for me it never made it and this lovely face was spared.
In 1978, after 110 years of business, the Childs Art Gallery went out of business. Founded in 1868 by Brainard F. Childs (1841/1842 – 1921), Childs Art Gallery operated photographic studios in Marquette, Houghton and Ishpeming Michigan. Famous for his stereoscopic views, “Gems of Lake Superior”, Child’s Art Gallery went on to dominate the portrait business and win many awards. This Glass Negative represents the quality of their art form and I’m pleased to have it in my collection.
