Im slightly proud of this.
Well I went shopping, flickr, and I got this really cute shirt with Minnie on it! :)) Because I know you all care so much.
Yep..
That's hot it looks like when it's stenciled. I always try to improve the design, I forgot to add some bridges to give it more stability…but still looks good.
It is hand cut. I am also using skinny caps for fine stencils.
I had a great day today. I had a fair-size list of things that I wanted to get done today and managed to get them all (and a few others) done.
Onlookers often wonder why I put so much effort into some of the things I do. Sometimes I enjoy the process as much as I enjoy the finished product.
What you're seeing here is the slow-poaching method from David Chang's Momofuku. Essentially; slow-cooked in their shells, when cracked, are a perfectly poached egg with incredible textures and flavor.
I think eggs are so incredible. They are quite simple in appearance but are quite impressive when you start to break it down chemically.
When I get them right, the outer white is soft and creamy. The best part is the yolk when it becomes a gel. I find the yolk to be the best part about a cooked egg. When that golden yellow nucleus of of joy turns to gel and becomes spreadable, toast becomes a prized commodity.
The thing I like the best about this shot is how the water distorts the view of the eggs. In this case it actually makes them easier to see. That is what made me pick up my camera and get this shot.
Took the original mono and thought, what if I use one of the colour presets in lightroom. I tried the colour creative cross process 4. MMMMM? Not sure.

For those peeps who remember this style of media.

YN560II @ 1/2 power/24mm bounced off white ceiling directly above
Trying a new process using used hypo-fixer. This should contain silver and I have been working many experiments to see if i can release that again for some type of VanDyke print. Adding it direct will result in fainter blue. Finally tried following:
- a few ml of used fixer
- add some Copper Sulfate (not much)
- wait till it has reacted (it will become brown or dark)
- add same volume of 25gr/100ml concentration Ferric ammonium citrate (same as used for Cyanotype.
Paint on paper or linen
- let dry for short time
Expose in UV or Sun (about same time as normal cyanotype.
- The paper will have before exposing almost white / light green color
- after 3 minutes it will turn yello
- after 10-50 minutes it will become coffee with milk color.
Contrast seems to have more gradations (see the middle grass halm)
Development:
- I rinsed it in water with a drop of vinager (pH of my water is 8 so i have to bring it down slightly)
- for this print i added some Potassium ferricyanide which changes the color from brown to mor blue especially on the borders.
- Dry the print as normal.
