From the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival a few weeks back. I’ve been working on various print techniques this year, one of them being these Kallitypes. It’s been quite a learning experience (my background is in engineering, not in art) and I’ve finally got repeatable results.

This is an un-toned kallitype print on Arches hot pressed 140#, developed in a mix of sodium acetate and ammonium citrate. Interestingly enough, a second print developed in borax and rochelle salts looks almost identical, when I expected it to be more black – which might mean I’ve got a proportion problem in the sensitizer, or the water’s playing in to the equation in a meaningful way, or that I have no idea what I’m doing. Probably the third! 🙂
