Botanical wet #cyanotypes are a current fave. Lighter on the land than lumens and a great, creative way to experiment.

Pasties
From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday

Lumen of kale
I made a kale #lumen in my #greenhouse. I left it there for 3 weeks - partly because I've been busy. At one stage I stuck a plant on top of the glass. It came out rather nicely, even with a bits of soil stuck on it. An easy way to combine a love of #photography and #gardening.
