Just purchased my first view camera!

Just purchased a 4x5 Calumet Cambo view camera! Can't wait to get the rest of the supplies I need to create my own tintypes. I'm pretty sure I got a good deal as this set.

Tintypes with Frank Hamrick

I'm in love with tintypes! I had such a great time at Frank Hamrick's tintype workshop today. It's been quite awhile since I was in a darkroom. I found it incredibly soothing and I enjoyed playing the part of chemist as we coated and developed plates. This was also my first time using a view camera and while it looked mighty intimidating it was actually quite simple and quite fun. Now to hunt down a view camera for myself and to start planning how to turn my basement into a darkroom.

Little Landscapes

Check out Little Landscapes, a collection of small organic sculptures made during a paper clay casting workshop with Mario Gallardo this past November. I am so in love with these little objects. I can't take much credit for the beautiful results as it was mostly luck and experimentation, but it was a super fun process I would love to try again.

My first cyanotypes

Cyanotypes (sun prints) made at an alumni workshop with Dr. Henricks awhile back. I love the vibrant blue color. It was fun to create these whimsical designs. I've been wanting to play with this medium again so I just ordered a couple of packs of sun print paper, aka nature print paper. I think the butterfly and dragonfly pair would be adorable in a little kids room. Dragonflies with Key Butterflies & Stars Artist Tools
