Something new!

I’ve had off for the past three days. So, what did I do with my glorious three-day weekend? Well, I did some hot yoga. I also sat around and watched a lot of television (despite the fact that I don’t have cable). This was mainly because I needed some background noise for the main task of the weekend. And what would that be?

I got down and dirty with possibly my new favorite photographic medium. Cyanotypes.

They’re an easy activity for a sunny afternoon. And my neighbors were very interested as I went in and out of my apartment and left little goodies out in front of the building. One of them even quoted, “If I knew how to do this, I would just smoke weed and do this all day.” Yea, they’re that cool. I was mainly experimenting with photograms – which are particularly easy when you don’t have any negatives.

Sean’s mom collects sea glass and other oceanic objects. I thought they’d be cool to play with, so they were my theme. Here are the results.

They all have this prehistoric feel to me. And now for something completely different.

Since I didn’t have any transparencies to make large scale negatives, I figured I’d play around a bit with some negatives I had to make some small prints.

I think I’m actually going to make use of my Etsy and start making some postcard-sized prints. Maybe someone will be interested. What do you think? Would you buy from me?
