Mordancage is kind of hard to explain. Essentially, it takes your b&w image and allows you to manipulate or remove the purest black areas. You can also create these lovely 'veils' of black but again, hard to explain. Once I have a successful image, I will scan it in and show you what I mean! =)
Edit: Ah, I should probably explain what's going on, lol.
1) I placed my print (after it's been soaking in water for a bit) in the mordancage chemicals. It's essential an acid that will bleach your print.
2) The image after it's been bleached for 3 minutes. I left it in for an extra three minutes after this shot.
3) Then I placed it developer so that the grays and other tones will come back. The blacks should be visible and able to be lifted off the print.
You can either completely remove the black or you can move it around. It creates really cool effects.

The Case of the Found Slide Film
We went to New Jersey for Halloween. This is were we were given an Argus camera that was recently found in a garage cleaning. It is a very solid camera, more boxy than my Kodak Signet 40. They were certainly built to last back in the day.
When we popped it open, we found a used roll of film.
“Whoa, do you think we could develop this?”
After a little research, (reading the canister, mostly), the film is ANSCOCHROME and yes, it sounds more interesting if it is in all capital letters. What we know is that it was slide film (I’m actually not sure how we figured that out). It is probably 30 years old. And that it is probably color (chrome gives it away). It has 12 photos from the past and I want them.
I brought it into Freestyle where they in turn sent it to Swan Photo Lab, who I was confident could at least diagnose what it is. If they couldn’t handle it, I knew we’d be one step closer to figuring this out.
Yesterday, I got the film back.
This is what we found out: it does not use E6 but E4 processing and they do not do it. Fair enough. It’s tungsten type film (says on the canister) and that does mean that it is color. Also on the canister: ”Only open in total darkness. Process in 80 F chemistry.” That means little of anything to me, but this may be the key to deciphering the processing/developing type.
It also caused a good laugh in the store about warming up chemicals and putting it in. ”Do you guys have any bleach? Let’s put it in that!”
A google search in store said that one of the differences between E6 and E4 processing is that a hardener is added to the process. Nowadays, slide film has a hardener added to it in manufacturing, according to Freestyle peeps. I expect that this information will be corroborated once I…

First the image was converted into a set data vectors in format (x,y,r,g,b), one for each pixel in image.
Then this 5D-data was projected to 2D-space using principal component analysis, The resulting image was rebuilt based on that reduced information.
