guy,in,a,hatOh the happenings! I've been learning my way down the #carbonprinting rabbit hole and sort of subsidizing my enthusiasm using #cyanotype the #newcyanotype formula specifically due to its higher sensitivity. It's a deep deep learning curve for the Carbon, but the cyanotype is now, 6 months later, super easy.
On the one hand, I love the intense focus necessary to get a really shitty looking image out of the various processes I've tried. On the other, its sad, deeply sad, each failed attempt with yet another totally inexplicable phenomena...oh I recognize a face! Yey! Its an image! Nah! Its just gonna all wash away this time! Nah, this time its sprinkled in black crumbly shit. Nah! Too faded! Nah! Too strong! Perfect but fuck halfway it attached to the support! No highlights! Only highlights! Shit!
Anyway, I'm a beginner. I'm, in photrio and in various other blogs and communities reading intensely into everyone's previous failures.
