Thank you Cliff This one is a Cianotype, (I don't know if it's correctly spelled), an alternative technique which consists in mixing some chemiclas to make a solution sensitive to light, then you can applythe solution to a cotton paper or cloth and use an enlarged negative to print the photo by contact, you can use either an special "oven" with ultraviolet lamps or direct sunlight to get the image. The alternative techniques differ among them in the chemical components and give different color results. Cianotype gives a blue hue.
That is so interesting. I love an artist who is so serious, and you notice that I am prone to be serious one day and full of good-time BS the next day. You never know with me. It's all part of keeping the equilibrium going. We can't be in the same old mood all the time. I'm a real admirer of yours, and I wanted to ask if you have ever made Daguerreotypes using the original process. It sounds like you are ready for such and activity?
No, I haven't, and none of the photographers I know has done them, mostly because the process involves highly poisonus chemicals, wouldn't dare that much...
Yes. Mercury vapors, I think. So they have not developed a safe process, then? Even in painting, we have to be careful. When I was painting, I breathed in too much bad stuff, and now I can really tell the difference. Proper ventilation is so important. You should tell that to everyone you know who does any of their art with chemicals.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
