Description this is a long exposed paper negative ( hand held for 10-20 seconds! ) of a washcloth in the morning light. its the little things that we usually overlook, the little things that we usually forget. the morning light where i live comes in the windows and just looks so nice. i took this photograph so i wouldn't forget.the techie stuff ... this is from a graflex 3a post card camera. i hand roll spools of photo paper and use paper instead of film. it has a weird 'look' because it is old-school, and is not a modern panchromatic emulsion. the paper is very-slow so it has to be exposed for a long time. like most of my photography, i developed the paper in coffee based developer. feel free to ask me about the developer i can provide you with info or beans.
J Nanian, Warwick, RI Member Since November 2007 Artist Statement Hello, I am a working photographer, who uses a variety of processes to make photographs. Most work here originates as a sheet of paper, glass metal or plastic that is coated with light sensitive materials. I use coffee as a film and paper developer. Some of the photographs you see here are made using a 200 year old process and the images are photographs that are unstable. Scanning them is the only way to preserve them. Other images here are cyanotypes, a process invented in the 1840s that uses 2 iron based compounds that convert to a stable image when in the presence of ultra violet light.
