Nesting
Walked outside today while my wife and son were raking leaves, and found this seemingly-happy bird nesting in one pile… good thing it left before I started shredding them! In…

Puddle Jumper
Fall fun on the baseball diamond! Shot with an Olympus E-P3 and a Canon 135mm f/2.0L. Tried printing some casein/glass today – the casein’s old, many of my (digital, inkjet)…

Originally shot on Delta 3200 in a Diacord G; developed in Microphen. This is a palladium-toned kallitype. I’m reasonably happy that it came out (yay, my chemistry survived the flooding)…

Occupation #1
I took a trip this evening to visit Occupy Philly. I had wondered why #OWS and its likes weren’t getting more media attention. After being there in person, I think…

Travelers
YES YES YES it’s FILM! Shot with my Diacord G, Acros 100, DD-X. And after replacing a dead hot water heater (probably a casualty of the flooding), I’m just about…

Smoke Break
I suppose he’s riding for the commute, not for the health benefits. Another shot from the Olympus E-P3. I’m enjoying it as an alternate street photography camera…

Air Guitar
Dim room update: still damp. 75% relative humidity and falling… slowly. This one’s from the new Olympus E-P3, cropped square. I’m liking the 17mm prime with it. Also the Canon…

Time for a Chat
Dim room status: still damp. Perhaps slightly less damp than yesterday. Prognosis: time to post some street photography.

As with the other prints I’ve posted, this doesn’t really translate to digital very well; everything I’ve done to try to bring these online leaves the images somewhat washed out…

Pipers
From 2009’s Jim Thorpe St. Patty’s parade, originally shot on a Canon 5D. This is a 6-layer casein-on-glass print; two layers of each magenta, cyan, and yellow. Visually, I’m happy…

The Big Snip
In 1987, I started growing my hair long. Not because I thought long would be good, or good looking, but because I hated having other people cut my hair. Some…

Cinematographer
My friend Simon, reviewing his 16mm negatives as they hang in the back yard. Simon’s family came for a weekend visit – and brought along a Bolex and two 100′…

She Drank a Little Whiskey
Sheila of the Gilded Cupid B&B in Jim Thorpe, PA surveying the St. Patty’s Day parade route in 2010. This was originally a digital shot, printed as a casein bichromate…

Marching Ever Onward
Happy Father’s Day! I got three awesome presents today. First, a bowl of radishes from our garden. Yummy, but photographically uninteresting. Second, some sodium citrate and tartaric acid. Yay more…

Nate the Builder
Shot on Delta 3200 in a Mamiya 7, developed in Perceptol. Printed on Arches Aquarelle hot pressed 140# as a kallitype and toned with palladium. From his fifth birthday, our…

Coffee Coffee Coffee #2
I promised this one a few days back and then was distracted by kallitype fun. Perhaps I should have just printed this and killed two birds with one stone! Markus…

Burlesque Nr. 4
Originally a digital shot, this kallitype (on Stonehenge 11×14) is toned with palladium. I suspect that the “pure” table salt that I used in making the toner is not actually…

Burlesque Nr. 3
Mamiya 7, HP5, Microphen, EI around 35000. Yes, another 50-ish minute developing effort – then printed as a gold-toned kallitype. The print picked up more density during the toning than…

Acros 100, developed in… coffee. We’ve had a couple of house guests this week – Johanna (here) and Markus (tomorrow’s post). The two of them have been on a year-long…

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2011
Made with a homemade matchbox pinhole camera, shot on Acros 100, and developed in DD-X. Almost all of my shots were terribly over-exposed, which I find rather unbelievable but undeniable.…

Burlesque Nr. 2
I love it when things just work. From the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival: the negative comes from 4 rolls of HP5+, under-exposed at least 3 stops at the Mamiya’s metered…

Jefferson Memorial
I’m traveling for a conference this week, which means I haven’t been able to work on Kallitypes. I had a good breakthrough just before I left (in fact, 60 minutes…

Burlesque Nr. 1
From the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival a few weeks back. I’ve been working on various print techniques this year, one of them being these Kallitypes. It’s been quite a learning…
