Submission......

Working on the folio for submission tomorrow...
Its been so busy for past couple of days, after tomorrow it'll be all over.
It sounds like a good feeling when you hear that, but it feels bad to say that!
It got over when it had started to get interesting and challenging!
I don't want to say thank you to David and that I'm going to miss everyone; coz that will sound like it's the end.
I hope I can continue to implement what we have been taught in past few fantastic months. I hope we all can be in touch..... :)

Work in progress......

Now finally this one at Digital eyes is partly up too!!! Lidia was there to help as well but we were more in the picture taking mood by the end of it!
Please look at John and Pete...dont they look happy cleaning up the place! :)

Last etching of this year...

I never thought I would get this one finished. This time it wasn't all that messy somehow! :)

Zoo...

Some of my zoo pics...just the few that I liked!

at last......

After studying a bit about cyanotype printing process (thank you...you tube!) I finally came close to the result that I wanted to achieve. I tried 3 methods and finally the the 4th one made me a bit satisfied!
I also found a few photographers who used cyanotype in theis work. Michel Herin has experimented with cyanotype with even toning the print in tea/coffee.French photographer Ronan Niclot also has experimented with cyanotype and vandykes. I loved the vandyke style. Next I would like to watch how that is made as well.
Till then here is my work with cyanotypes...

Cyanotypes....

For the photography assignment I still am not 100% sure what images I want to use but I like this technique a lot. I used to enjoy working in the darkroom processing images and different results I used to get using different papers, chemicals etc.
In this image even though I have achieved the result on photoshop, I still feel it gives the feel of the old technique.
I want to use Cyanotype as the colour/technique for my photography assignment.
As the subject...I always shoot windows/doors where ever i go. I dont know what is it that attracts me to them...maybe what we see through them or maybe the curiosity...what we cant see through them!
So far this is my idea.

Digital Peacock

From the printmaking techniques after the monotype a enjoyed the lino printing.
This is the digital version of my lino....
