Ideas!

Scanned image of Paint the City: Seattle series

          This quarter for photography given the freedom, I would like to experiment with utilizing older processes. The processes I'm interested in using would possibly be litho film and cyanotypes, though I have not completely decided. Previously, I have worked with both mediums in 325 last spring. I used litho positives over marbled paper to create the image below. I made a series of these utilizing photographs I had taken in Seattle. For a while I was thinking to continue the series with photographs of other cities or even of nature. Or even to create a litho positives inside of a wooden frame and sealed with resin to create a lit photography, but I think that will need to wait since I do not have all the skills needed to create a well crafted light box.

          So then my train of thought lead me cyanotypes and photograms. I think it would be interesting to create large cyanotype photograms out in the field by collecting a variety of plant materials and construct some sort of composition. As I said before, I am still uncertain of what exactly I would like to create this quarter and I'm even open for ideas. Though I feel that I tend to move towards nature because people just do not spend enough time appreciating the world around us and the all the little things that this planet has to offer.
