Kind of Blue


This method of photo processing may look otherwordly, but Steph claims that cyanotypes are actually easy to make. In fact, you could whip one up right now, if only you had a few vials of green ferric ammonium citrate (insert evil scientist laugh) and some other goodies lying around. What you’re looking at is an "excerpted" version of one of Steph's very lovely pieces (Sorry, Ste. One day I'll learn how to fit large pages into my scanner. Baby steps, baby steps).

That does look rather ether-real. I am also intrigued by the regenerative properties of cyanotypes mentioned on the wikipedia page.

Incidentally, happy new year!
