I&#8217;ve been printing all day every day this week: 8 hours on Monday, 7 Tuesday, and 10 today.<\/p>\n<p>Monday was about experimentation: trying to improve the quality of my kallitypes on Stonehenge paper (trying to reduce my cost per print, since my preferred paper is handmade and imported from France); using fumed silica; working with different developers; experimenting with selenium toner for kallitypes. No good prints came of it. The prints got progressively worse through the day, and eventually I realized that the (sodium acetate, ammonium citrate, and tartaric acid) developer I mixed a year ago had finally become depleted (likely, too acidic). But in the process, I learned a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday was about getting back on track: switching to things that I knew worked and applying what I learned on Monday. I fell back to Arches hot pressed 140# paper (which is an excellent paper for Kallitypes). I stuck with Henry Hall&#8217;s 1903 developer (sodium acetate and tartaric acid), which works more consistently. And I printed one negative over and over, trying to understand exactly what I had learned on Monday. The shot here is from yesterday&#8217;s printing run; it&#8217;s the final culmination of all of the variables that I had in play on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Today was about generating prints using my newest learned methods. I have 9 more kallitypes drying: some toned with selenium, some toned with gold.<\/p>\n<p>So, back to this shot: this is Madame Corsetiere of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragontowncorsets.com\/\">Dragontown Corsets<\/a>, shot backstage at the recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paburlesque.com\/\">Pennsylvania Burlesque Festival<\/a>.
