I was going to wait till tonight to work in the darkroom again but decided to go work last night after getting the notice that the university would be closed today and tomorrow. I lost track of time and spent about five hours in the lab making 27 new photograms. A few were tests to see what kind of results different materials would produce. I discovered that I love the texture Vaseline adds. Baby powder, tea, and water droplets also create interesting effects.

Here’s one of my favorite images from tonight. It’s a 5 x 8″ photogram of a wrapper. The background texture was created by dabbing Vaseline on a sheet of glass.
