Yesterday we tried out some very old cyanotype and van dyke photo chemistry. The cyanotype chemicals were a literal washout — it would expose but then completely rinse out in the water fix. The van dyke was much more successful. The chemicals weren’t 100% but at least we got some images and the browns were still quite deep.

I didn’t have any larger format negatives so I printed out some inverted black and white images onto vellum which worked somewhat. My results came out sort of multi-toned and messy I think because I brushed on the chemistry with an overly loaded haike brush.

We also did a few sunprints. It was a photo fun afternoon on the deck.

I’ve posted a new gallery of “Little Stories” photos at See. Feel. Think. Most of them have been seen on this site before but I wanted to collect a bunch of the like-themed shots together. I plan on doing a series of galleries under the same theme.
