Christmas came early with the arrival of my 4x5 @zebra_dry_plates daylight tank. Fabulous craftsmanship and so many adorable extras. I think my brochure also came with some chemistry brainstorming notes 🧪 if you were missing it, here they are It's been an absolutely mad few months lead up to this winter solstice, but I'm taking two weeks to reset and recharge. I have several fun projects to share and lots of ideas brewing. I think I'll take this for a spin, too.

The darkroom had its first drop-in last weekend! @lilyrhew came in to dust off an amazing 15 year old shot of Notre Dame by moonlight. Meanwhile I prepped the darkroom for photogram collage demos, happening at the Solstice art event this Saturday from 10-4. Come on by and take home some chemical magic.

My birthday present to myself last month was getting some E6 film developed and scanned. This is some @filmphotographyproject Retro Chrome 400 slide film I picked up.....probably during the abyss of 2020. And shot......last fall.....in one of my favorite strange forest spots. It sad around very neglected during some major life upheaval, so I figured I'd be lucky to get anything. Gorgeous scans and prints from @memphis.film.lab teased out what could be gotten from it, but I'm wild for these weird sprocket leaks on the film itself. Thanks, Memphis, for boxing my film carefully since I've had some sad crunched film from other labs. This is my first slide film and my next goal is to get rich and shoot it all the time, promptly.

The Darkroom is reopen for business. Thursdays and Sundays supervised hours for the weekend warriors like me. Stop in to see what it's all about or get in touch about membership.

I may be really tired at Open Studios today but that's only because I partied with @puuluupband last night

After working since the beginning of the year to organize, clean out, and generally rehab the darkroom at @wrcraftcenter , it is ready to reopen to the public this weekend at Open Studios. Catch me there Saturday and Sunday 10a-5p 📷 It's almost my birthday, so come say hi and check out both my photo work and my grunt work.

Last of this round of pinholes retrieved, this one overlooking the bee yard at Wolfdales. The plan is for a larger box pinhole to go up on the roof in the next couple of days to catch a year starting on the Equinox. @jarthurloose

My pinhole at the ski lift got disappeared, so I'll have to hide it better. Probably safer now that they've done the mowing. Meanwhile here is a 12 day exposure of the river, what it looked like when I planted it, and what it looked like when I picked it up. Fall is hitting hard and fast this year.

The first results are in from my solargraphy pinholes. Both unexpected in fun ways! Third one is drying in a drawer, and 2 more are planted. This is very fun. Thanks @heather.palecek.art for the workshop and inspiration!

I took and awesome workshop on solargraphy this past weekend with @heather.palecek.art and finally drove to a couple local favorite spots to string them up. I have another in mind, but it's going to have to wait til it warms up again. Thanks @k8lyny8s for the woodland pap photos too
