I used the color table negative to see how it would turn out. The outcome was a bit flat but the white watercolor on the tiles helps the image out a lot.
Today was much better than last week with the polaroid transfers. I hope I'm making progress. At least I've been able to pick out a couple of pics from my Ireland trip to work on for the cyanotypes.
After begging for my own camera when I was just 11 years old, I finally got my wish. From that day on I've photographed everything I could that interested me. I purchased an SLR in 1994 and used it for the better part of 12 years. In 2006, I changed my format to digital photography. The change has been quite an experience. My first published photograph was in Tidewater Community College’s 340 High Street magazine. Additionally, my work was published in The Virginian-Pilot’s Beacon. Throughout my career, clients have asked me to take boudoir shots. Because of this, lingerie and nudes have become a specialty of mine. This particular photographic genre is quite challenging. I have to know how to evoke the desired feeling or sensation and when to capture it at its highest point. This moment has the power to be an explosion of energy, joy, sadness, lust, humor, desire, hatred, love, agony or ecstasy. One single frame is an immortalization for all to see. Unlike film or video where you have time, sound, music and movement to convince an audience to feel or to understand it, with a photograph you have only one instant. The viewer either appreciates it or passes it by.
