[Enclosed] A Juried Exhibition of Silver Gelatin Photography

One of my Advanced Darkroom Photography class assignments entails working with other advanced photo students to plan and host a photography show. We have now completed the first major steps in that we have chosen a theme, found jurors, created a prospectus and are now advertising our call for entry. This has been a fun project to work on. I've enjoyed learning more about this process and helping to plan out our own steps. I helped to refine our copy, designed our prospectus, printed, hung, and passed out fliers, and spread the word online through various means. Now we just sit [...]

It's a 5 x 8" photogram of a wrapper. The [...]

Photograms: Repetition

Photograms exploring repetition. The circles created by the elastic bands were super fun, but if you look closely you can see some of my hair which was apparently still attached. It's hard to see things like hair and small specs in the darkroom. I bought a new, untainted, bag of elastic bands so I can hopefully get a cleaner circle image. -fingers crossed-   Photograms are photographic images made without a camera by placing objects on the surface of light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The result is a negative shadow [...]
