Whats up?

So I just looked over all that I have put up on the blog, and realized that it is a bunch of the same stuff over and over. I really like what I have done so far, but not all of it is up on the blog. I think those pictures that I have put up have been the most fun because they are very colorful and those objects pop out, and have been sitting with me for a while. But I have been doing other things too. In alternative processes, we have been playing with solvent transfers, so I have also been trying to incorporate that into what I have been doing in sr. studio. Another thing I had the idea of playing with was photo chemicals. I will make sure to post pics later, but right now I have little cups filled with all the different photo chemicals. some are for film and others for paper, but I am having fun playing with the concentration of the chemicals, and the order for which i develop the paper. I have also been doing the playing in the light, so that is another aspect of my experimenting that changes the image up. I added acrylic paint to the developer to see if that would affect the final color they paper develops to be. Ms Burman also had the awesome idea to add minerals or other chemicals and see what happens. She suggested asking the science department if there would be any minerals, even salt, that I could steal a little of and add it to the chemicals. these minerals could have a bigger effect on the paper then the acrylic paint did so I am anxious to try those out. I also had fun playing with the color the photo paper has become since it has been exposed. Some of the paper I got from freecycle was green when I took it out of the package, so it has been cool to play with that coloring. Hopefully all this messing around will result in beautiful art, but as of now, I am just having fun. we will see where this takes me...
