A photographic image created using Van Dyke Formula on cartridge paper. Unfortunately the text isn’t as strong on the original so I had to do some colour dodging on photoshop to make it the image I had intended. Apart of me loves the process but at the same time the constantly changing factors involved in the process can make creating the perfect image very frustrating to achieve. Cartridge paper becomes very delicate after all the washes and fixes it had to go through so I ended up with two images being utterly destroyed, one unharmed and this one with the rips and crumbles which became my favorite.

My current passion is an alternative photographic process called Polaroid transfers. Each transfer is hand-made by the photographer using specific materials and equipment to achieve a desired effect. A transparency is projected on to professional Polaroid print film and as development begins, the print and chemicals are prematurely separated. The image is transferred on to dampened watercolor paper for a unique image which has a dated, artistic photo-painting appearance. Exposure, pressure, time, paper and other variables make each print an original mono-print. My most recent series of Polaroid transfers is titled , “X-RAY TERRESTRIALS”. Double exposed slides of skulls from animals , coupled with illustrations of dental training transparencies culled from a recent St. Louis dumpster dive, yield macabre transmogrification from bone to alien. At. First glance, these small Polaroid transfers seem to portray a menagerie of grotesque creatures, which evoke responses of discomfort and disgust. By depicting the deformed and macabre, Linders illuminates the darkest corners of the mind and reveals her fascination with death, bones, skulls and teeth.

in scraping emulsion to alter polaroids i used this surface, kept it on the work table and used it for notes. i packed it away for about 26 years and just pulled it out. it was mistakenly scooped up and stored with ‘finer’ prints. this is the only one i liked today. simmering works!

Cyanotype of Lucky Strike #12. 4×5 neg captured with an antique Graflex Speed Graphic. (for those interested, a cyanotype is a print made by painting the solution directly onto paper, contact printing the negative by exposing it to sunlight and developing it in water. It is the ‘greenest’ of all photographic processes.)

by Soxy Fleminglast one for now. I’ll journal tomorrow about some of the others….I have had some success with the different camera and different paper it seems….just not quite there yet. / Paper pinhole seems to capture sky and clouds beautifully. I’ll be trying for more of them this is nearly full frame as well…just a small amount cropped off the bottom

Shadow of a tap/faucet protruding from an orange painted wall. This image has an added double layer of merged shots of venitian blinds for added effect and texture.

Titled after the tattoo on my chest (self portrait). Pegasus is the winged horse upon which, I believe, the Poets would ride for inspiration. This photo was featured on the Artrageous RB Artists: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/artrageous-rb-artists-and-their-creative-adventures September 2009.

The coast walk from Coogee to Bondi in Sydney must be one of the most beautiful walks in the world. This little collection of Boats in Gordons Bay just begged to be photographed…so I sat my shortbread tin pinhole camera on a railing and took a snap. / A wonderful treat it is to see these photographs taken some months ago on my travels. / Large paper negative developed (of course!) in coffee and washing soda. / This picture has not been adjusted in PS other than being inverted and cropped.

Pinhole photograph, 5 by 7 paper negative, coffee and washing soda developer. Exposure approximately 30 seconds with pinhole aperture .2mm (guessing here) taken in this camera

this is the full negative from this shot. The errors were too good to crop off really….don’t you just love happy accidents? / also big enough for massive SUPER LARGE POSTER!!!! though I think it would look pretty grainy….

this is a pic taken when I visited Juilee Pryor (at her beachside mansion) and she let me use her best orange box pinhole camera…I didn’t think this pic would be very good but as I was photoshopping it Fleur was playing this piece on the piano…if you load it up then listen for a little while to the beautiful section from about 1.15 on this clip and look at the pines you might feel what I did…anyway It made me love the simple picture of the pines at Austinmer, south of Sydney This is the full 5 by 7 paper neg, uncropped
