*bounces* omg that was way too fun. ^___________^ spent a good couple of hours down in the darkroom, with happy results. hadn't realised how much I missed playing and making pictures. the process itself doesn't even really intrigue me *as* much, but.. but even still, those few seconds when paper darkens from empty white into all the intricacies of an image... yeahhh. <3
and that was even just making photograms. *G*
(note: photograms are.. like to print a photo, you let light shine through a negative onto photo-sensitive paper, wherever there was darkness in the negative, it blocks the light and makes it dark on the paper. a photogram, you don't use a negative, you just put stuff on the paper itself..well, or I s'pose in the air between the light and paper, too. and wherever there was stuff, it's white on the paper.)
these are just digital pics of my prints.. didn't feel like running around and ganking someone's scanner. and resized - the real things are like, what, 9x12 or whatever my paper size is, so between the camera and the sizing, some detail is lost, but you can get the main jist anyway. *g*

61 and 4 I think are the two I'm going to turn in, he wanted some variety in them. (won't be turning them in 'til tues tho, so any opinions are more than welcome. ^_^) I tried different things with each, so even those I like less (5 and 6) have some really interesting bits in them, like where I put some water on the paper in 5, or the way it looked having draped a scarf over the star-shaped cookie-cutter in 6. What I really, really love though, is in 3 and 4..the little fragments of words that came though. Those are actually off the plastic bag I'd brought everything in, I laid it out on the paper, then set the objects on top of it, knowing it would leave little crinkly faint lines and faded areas here and there. I wasn't sure if the words would come through, but they diiiid and it looks so cool. *G* The other thing I hadn't realised would come out so clearly was where the objects were resting on the bag, and were on a little bump or wahtever, and so have part of them closer to the paper and part a little farther.. so they kind of blur and fade where they're farther from the paper, and I reeeaaally like that. ^_^
(and yes that's a my little pony in 3 and 4, heee. her wings are translucent so I knew she'd be fun to use in this.)
