Whoah... it actually works!

Darkroom schmarkroom!

Kind of amazing that there's absolutely nothing digital about getting this picture (well, still had to take a picture on my phone, save as a jpg, and upload to Mastodon to share with you guys, but you get my point).

It's probably been at least 20 years since I've taken a completely analog picture; maybe longer. I assume even in the "late film era" that labs were scanning and printing digitally.

So, previously I tried using very old cyanotype paper, and then mixing up my own solution, apparently not getting the process right, so I just ordered a fresh batch of readymade cyanotype paper and it works great. The brand seems to be Sun Print.

For lots of stuff I try to avoid Amazon but this time I went to them thinking it was more likely to be fresh than something I found on the shelf of and art or craft store, that might've been sitting there a few years.
