Julie Mixon explores an inexpensive way to combine image transfers with cyanotypes, adding colour, layers, masking and double exposures. An intriguing experiment for cyanotype makers!

I'm going to try doing some work with extruded aluminum, making a fold-down alt-photo work station. (combo UV exposure unit and drop leaf processing area)
I'm looking at Montreal's Fazstore as a source.
Does anyone have experience with their products and service?

@Catelli is this why my hobbies are all low tech handmade? #pinholeCamera #altphoto ?
@monicarooney Cameron used the wet plate collodion process to produce large negatives and contact printer using the albumen process. Many people continue to use these techniques today. #altphoto https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/constituents/julia-margaret-cameron
taking a deep dive next year into timber tramlines, flourishing revegetation, geological specimens, #extractivism and representations of the nonhuman in the Museum of the Goldfields collection on a Art on the move Activating Collections Artist Residencies 2022. The residency will take place in Kalgoorlie-Boulder/Karlkurla on unceded Wangkathaa land. Many thanks to Art on the move and Museum of the Goldfields for making this happen. Couldn't have been better timing to get this amazing opportunity. So glad to be back in the studio and back in the field

@alxmiguelc2 My cameras are just simple handmade shaped cardboard boxes, tripod socket (1/4-20 thread insert) with a light-proof lid and a little pinhole usually ~f250 Electricians tape make everything light tight. A single sheet is loaded one at a time. Arista Ortho is one of the films that works, I do workshops. https://www.freestylephoto.biz/category/199-Film/Black-and-White-Film/Ortho-Litho?mfg%5B%5D=5 #altphoto #pinholecamera
@alxmiguelc2 Using pinhole cameras to create big negatives allows one to contact print and does away with needing an enlarger. With the #altphoto process and their sensitivity to just UV light, the prep work can be done in a simple dim room. An artificial UV light source, or for the simpler printing out processes like Bown print and cyanotype the sun works fine.
@alxmiguelc2 I shoot very large format, but in big single shot pinhole cameras. I use inexpensive rapid access film developed in an ultra-low contrast developer. I print altphoto - one of the older ultraviolet sensitive techniques 12x18 inch vandyke brown contact print. #altphoto #pinholecamera
@devanopolis @moragperkins fascinating. There are many different ways to do black & white. Questions? https://www.alternativephotography.com/processes/ #altphoto
@moragperkins 👋 shooting both film (5x7 down to medium format) and digital, with a focus on the unintentional beauty to be found in the human-manipulated landscape. I yearn to get back to #altphoto printing but for now I just try to develop my ever-growing backlog of film.

Does anyone do #altphoto and #pinholecamera?
