I started using an atomized spray bottle when working with sumi paper. It just soaked up so much the brush method want working. Spray worked great!

I think I need to start taking more train rides. What a shot!

Wow that shot is from a moving train!? Great shot!

Love a good tree photo. So many textures!

Awesome glad to hear! I thought about the tests in a way that would be most useful, information wise and visually. Bummer on the strathmore.

I’m glad you enjoyed to post! Did you read the full blog post on Legion Paper’s site? I added a link in my blog post.

Working on smoky effects always feels like a moment of pure meditative relaxation. ✨️⁠

A woman dressed in a 1930s style and wearing a bowler hat is sitting at the bottom of a long flight of stone stairs in central Paris. The image looks painted from the cyanotype and sepia from the coffee toning.

Image of the day is *Cassandra on the stairs*, a coffe-toned cyanotype print on 🎞️ Hahnemühle Harmony paper.

Part of an upcoming rpg project around Paris, I wanted a non-touristy look for photos of the city. This one was my proof of concept.

Black and white photo of two surfers standing with boards during low tide. You can see there reflection mirrored below them in the shallow water

It was a beautiful evening and a very low tide. They surfed till the sun went down. I bounced around with my fins in my hands cause the water was so shallow. Big grins on all of our faces.

Cyanotype photo of looking down the train tracks off to the horizon through railroad bridge. Palm trees in the background

There is something about looking down the railroad tracks that gives me a sense of adventure. The tracks leading off to the horizon, or around the bend, I feel an urge to go searching.
