A few more from my latest series. I would say more about them, but I'm exhausted and keep falling asleep....
Gumoil
This gumoil tutorial has been updated. Please click here for the updated version. Thanks for visiting ! Gumoil print on Arches Platine, 1:2.5 sensitizer solution, single pass (one and done) print, wiped clean at sink, cleared in sodium metabisulphite (printed area approx. 12"x16") I have been working with the gumoil process for about two and a half years. I was introduced to it during an advanced alternative processes workshop in Santa Fe lead by my friend and go to mentor for all things alt pro, Christopher James. One of Christopher's assistants for the workshop was Cotton Miller, an MFA student at the time, and adjunct professor in the photography program at Lesley University's College of Art and Design. Christopher asked Cotton to teach one of the quick, pop-up style lessons we often get when everyone is settling into whatever they want to work on. I rarely miss one because they frequently introduce me to something I might not consider trying otherwise...
Comments
Thanks again for all of your nice comments. I've really had a lot of fun with this series. I still need to make a few more, but then I'm done, and it's time for the next one.
Already have one in mind--the area around here is really ripe for shooting. There's a strip near here that's got a real LA feeling to me. I think once the sun comes back (as we haven't seen it in weeks) and just heats it all to blazes, it will have even more of that feel. And not just day shots either. I had been doing night shots of Westchester a while back, but this place holds even more promise in that regard.
We'll see.
