I really like this print. It’s a sabattiered print. This was actually done in the darkroom. None of that Photoshop stuff.. no filters...

***A man named Armand Sabattier discovered the process of solarizing photography, also known as sabattier printing, in 1862. The resulting effect of a sabattier print is a positive and negative image. It forms a tone reversal. The results of the sabattier process are very unpredictable. Almost everything done in the darkroom is very unpredictable.***

Computers give us so much, but they take away from the actual effect of burning silver. It’s an awesome process and I encourage everybody to roll their sleeves up and do more actual darkroom work.
Note: This is a temporary post. I really wanted to stay as close to chronological order as possible, but I might stray from time to time. I will possibly repost this with a better scan, at a higher resolution. You know... to do it justice.
