Security

These two ladies were kind enough to sit for me for a moment while on their rounds up here at the school last night. This is actually a scan from a color paper negative. In other words, I took RA-4 (color) paper that I use to print color photos in the darkroom, and I put it in an 8×10 film holder and exposed it as if it were a sheet of color negative film.

You should notice the obvious color cast, which reminds me of a cyanotype. I believe this is due to the layer of blue which is on color paper before it is processed. Does that make sense?

Stacy and I went back out to the house in Bostwick. This time I shot with color film and a camera on which I could rely: my Graflex 6×9. The Rolleiflex I’d been using has been suffering from an Awful Focus Problem (AFP). Sorry for the shortage of images lately. I’m actually getting things done at school, if you can believe it.

This was shot a few months back, and I just got a chance to scan it with our Imacon drum scanner at school. I’d shot Fischer Hall before, and have another image of it I’d like to post soon.

I finally made a proper scan of this negative. I think it looks a bit better than the first scan.
