Yesterday, I wrote about how to make photograms using paper treated with UV-sensitive cyanotype emulsion, available from various manufacturers. Now I'd like to share some ideas for how to take that process a little further, by using the same paper to create a more traditional photographic image. I'll be showing you two very similar processes using inkjet-printer transparencies. One procedure creates a print with inverted values--like a photonegative. The other procedure uses a negative transparency and produces a fine blue-as-blue-can-be photo print. |

 Now that it's properly summer in Chicago, it's time to take the art outdoors whenever possible. One way to do that is by taking the camera out and roaming the city (country, world); I've been doing that for a long time and obviously I love it. But there are other ways to make photographs even without a camera. One of these ways is to make solar photograms (often called "sunprints," in the same way that facial tissues are called by the brand name of their most popular manufacture). |
