My newest goal is to print something every week. I created these digital negatives on the new transparency film I’m trying out, InkPress’ Transparent Film:

In 2004 I went to Poland and stayed with my Dad’s cousin Zosia. Every morning we were greeted by this beautifully laid table, where we had the famous “first breakfast” meal: coffee or tea, fruit, whole grain breads, meats (for others) and cheeses:

I’ve been experimenting with smallish prints after taking Ray Bidegain and Patrick Kolb’s Platinum Printing workshop this past February. I renewed my acquaintance with painter and photographer Ann Quinn, whose small prints of flowers turned out so lovely in platinum that I dragged out some old negatives I’d acquired at a photo swap meet a few years ago.

After the workshop I moved on to cyanotype and made some small cards with the images

Found negatives, 1900-1930s (?)
Crane’s Cover 90lb, cyanotype recipe from Jan Arnow’s Handbook of Alternative Photographic Processes
