What the heck. Let’s take photography someplace it hasn’t been before. I don’t mean the dry valleys of Antarctica, or even the outer rim of the solar system. I mean, let’s take the materials of photography and maybe some unrelated stuff, and use them in ways their manufacturers didn’t intend. Maybe that can be done without leaving our own backyard.
Lately, in my experiments with the physics and chemistry of silver photography, I happened to invent a new film developer that will permit apparently arbitrary overexposure. In this series, you will find pictures of the sun crossing the sky, from morning until night. You will see the wilting of a vase of tulips across two days. At least one of the pictures was made with Drãnoflex, my homemade pinhole camera constructed entirely of plastic plumbing parts, electrician’s tape, a rubber band and a beer can, while others were made with entirely conventional large format cameras, lenses wide open.
Experiment! That is where the juice is.
