Ugly Experiment

The water pistol image needs and explanation. I ran out of patience with the rate of anthotype fading with this pigment so I broke out the water pistol to encourage streaks and drips. Removing some of the top spring clamps, I pointed a stream of water down the paper. It's turning into an ugly experiment. Tomorrow I will continue to work on this anthoype with a sponge to lighten up the ground around the sleeping dress.

This is dangerous territory. More painting than photography. Less automatic and more hands-on.

I have some images from Jason Franz of Manifest documenting the reception for Botanical. I'll post these in a couple of days.
