Another one from the Blind Wino 618 camera, this time more of a straight scan for a true cross-processed look.
Ektachrome 100 film.
New camera...new software...new birds for spring! So many ways to work with a picture to try capturing the emotion of the moment. Challenging with trying to learn everything at once. I have yet to be satisfied with my results....but practice makes perfect and I have no problem with practicing :)
this is my first successful kallitype print. it was my third or fourth attempt, and i was getting frustrated. but i've switched printers, switched paper, switched developer and processing formulas, and finally got it working!
at first i thought this was going to be another bust, because my test strips were turning out wrong. i'd been using the sun for my cyanotype and previous kallitype experiments, but the sun wasn't cooperating yesterday...even in southern california, we sometimes get clouds. but i'd bought a blacklight at a garage sale a few weeks ago, for the purpose of processing prints at night. well it works...but it took over two hours to expose this print properly! by the time i'd gotten it down, it was late last night...i set my alarm for 1am, woke up and developed the print, then back to bed.
print is 7.25 x 7.25 inches (18.4 cm), on Rising Stonehenge paper. Ilford FP4+ film (120 format), taken with Zeiss Ikon Nettar camera. since this was basically a test, i didn't tone the print.
prints available here.
Arches Aquarelle cotton paper.
4g potassium bromide
4g sodium chloride
240ml water
Immersed for 3 minutes then dried.
Sensitizer
16g silver
8g citric acid
240ml water
Brushed on one coat then dried. Defiantly needs two or three coats next time.
Exposed in shade for about 7 minutes than bright sun for 1 minute. A nice dark image was observed on the paper prior to salt bath.
Salt bath
10g citric acid
30g salt
1000ml water
Image faded considerably in salt bath wash for about 2 minutes. Then washed in water for 1 hour. Image became dark again during dry down.
Working on a new music video project. It is probably going to change a bit over the next couple weeks so I want to keep an eye on the screen grabs that I like. I plan on showing it at FiTC on April 22nd. I will write a post about it after the project gets a little closer to completion.
Again, the main point of interest is that there will be no post-production. The entire thing is code driven. Every beat is manually input like in the Solar (Goldfrapp) video I posted a couple weeks back. Every single high-hat hit, every snare, every bass, the vocals, the guitar arpeggio... all of it was manually input. Took about 6 hours to input the data for the whole 5 minutes and 15 seconds of song. Maybe when musicians start releasing multiple tracks per song with isolated instruments, things will get a lot easier.

I love my Cuisinart Food Processor. It works really good and doesn't leak like my old Kitchen-aid one did!
This building, which I saw for the first time over a year ago, is nothing short of miraculous.
So perfect and intricate are its colorful and varying degrees of decay, the fabric disintegrated to threads, the papered-over windows water stained and peeling, the rusted hinges, the empty places where windows once were.
It stands alone in a neighborhood of big white houses. Like a frail, naked old woman in a room full of hapless people wearing white tee shirts and jeans. No one will look at her, but she is as beautiful as she is delicate.
