Some days you just need a little pick-me-up!

I harvested this solarigraphy pinhole camera from my balcony this evening on worldwide pinhole photography day.

It's been out in all weathers for 11 months,

Mother Nature has collaborated with some added moisture 💧in addition to her powerful sunlight ☀️

Magical!💫

I haven't scanned it yet as the paper needs to dry out.
Here is the non-inverted image, I quite like it.

Today I'm sharing another lumen print.
✂️These prints form part of my developing series Botanical Entanglements, where I combine different plant species that might not normally grow in the same environments with cut-outs of plant forms, mixing real plant specimens with imitation ones.
✂️An unfixed lumen remains sensitive to light. To preserve this version it is scanned. Once the image is fixed the tones will change and this image will only remain as a digital version before the transformation.

More luscious lumens!
🌿I've been playing with combining my cuts outs of plants with the real plants used to make the cuts out.

🌿This is a scan of an unfixed lumen.
I just love the rich purple, mauve pink and blue tones that the vintage bromide paper gives.

🌿Eventually I will put the print through fixer and the tonality will become softer and muted.

Today I dropped off this photographic collage at aceart.
It is available for purchase through the member's show and sale, opening is June 2nd.

This artwork is composed of multiple exposed lumen prints on vintage photographic paper.

A lumen print is a photographic process that uses the sun to make a solar photogram. In this case plant leaves are placed onto silver gelatin photographic paper that, when exposed to the ultra violet rays of the sun, produce a range of tones and colours as the black and white darkroom paper reacts with the sunlight.
