for the first time since i moved to oregon, i mixed up some cyanotype chemicals and made some prints. it’s been a while since i’ve printed and they didn’t turn out the way that i expected. i admit, i was a little distracted as i printed and most of them were underexposed, i wanted to put them online because the finished prints featured something i’ve never seen and i can’t find anything about it online.

the highlights are brown! i’m not sure what would have caused this. has anyone experienced this in their printing? my hope is that i didn’t mess up the chemistry.

i’ve also never experienced such intense brush strokes. i guess i’ve got my work cut out for me. luckily, i found a photography space here in portland that has a uv box for public use, so i can print regardless of cloudy oregon winters.
