Chemigrams & Chemograms

Made my first chemograms and chemigrams today. Both are experimental silver-gelatin based photographic techniques. Chemograms are a combination of a photographic exposure and chemical resists, while chemigrams are made only with chemical resists. I used a combination of butter, cooking spray, and honey to achieve the results seen in the following four images. Adv.

Laptopograms

One of the things I enjoy the most about darkroom photography is the experimentation the process seems to promote. We've made photograms, traditional negative prints with both 35mm film, and 120 mm film shot with a Holga, and we recently experimented with toning prints. Now I'm excited to be playing with a technique I discovered from Kristine Thompson while attending the Society for Photographic Education South Central conference in Waco, Texas last month. Kristine creates photograms by placing light-sensitive paper on the screen of her laptop and then developing it to reveal the image. It sounds easy but it's kind [...]

Grad Journal: Fall 2017, Week 9

Week 9: October 16th-22nd The SPESC Photo Conference in Waco, Texas was fantastic. I flew to Dallas, Texas on Thursday, and drove to Waco, TX for the conference which took place Friday-Sunday. I landed in Atlanta around midnight Sunday night and got lost in the parking garage so I didn't make it out of Atlanta until around 1:30 am. I was so tired I ending up parking at a gas station and sleeping for a few hours before driving home. I didn't make it home until after 5 am. Needless to say, it was a long day, which was then followed by [...]

Grad Journal: Fall 2017, Week 8

This was a short week thanks to a conference that I'm flying to Texas to attend tomorrow, but it was still plenty stressful. Right now I can't help but think of grad school as a period of voluntary suffering, of course, I'm hoping to come out better for it at the end...if I survive it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?   Monday Work: Faculty Commons - worked on web stuff and homework Alumni Chapter Meeting with Seth, Kaci, and Alan - we finalized our game plan about what we plan to do this year. Now it's time [...]

Grad Journal: Fall 2017, Week 7

Today started out great, then bombed, then got a little better. Right now this whole week feels like a haze. I shot and developed 35mm film for my film class, did web work at Faculty Commons, worked on branding for my design studio class, had several meetings, worked on a cue sheet and sound plan for Sound Design, and taught/guest critiqued for the senior show class. It was filled with so much stuff it's kind of a blur, plus I didn't get much sleep. I think I'm going to just hibernate during my break in December. It'll take me the [...]
