Cyanotype of Lucky Strike #16. 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.)
Viewing Downtown Grand Rapids from the Grand River – Used Photo Elements 6 and Flaiming Pear to work this beauty over – sure enjoyed working this over – Sit Back, Enjoy and Happy Viewing!

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.

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.
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!

I fooled around with the Curves adjustment in PS3 and ended up with this. / Kinda cool…. looks like a drawing:))
Photographed with 35 mm film, printed as negative on lithograph film, then transfered to hand applied water color paper – which I coated with liquid emulsion, then…processed under an enlarger. PHEW – this is the result!
Sepia toned photo
for a few weeks before the summer heat wave hit, we had quite a few of these growing in our front yard… they were very pretty, but I dont know what they are… / Does anybody know their name? I liked them.. they have this spooky lonely vibe to them.. sad but not, so fragile yet stubbornly strong clawing their way thru the grass to the sunlight… / plants are so trippy :)

Mixed Media – Using Elements 6 – Photo Impact and Gimp.
A digital re-creation of a Polaroid lift.
An artist’s studio in Jerome that is often used to promote the town caught my attention shortly after seeing “Independence Day” and the pink sky in the Mars photos. I altered my view to reflect that influence.
Bored and somewhat inspired, playing around in Photoshop led to this conglomeration
Another from John Ball Zoo – Grand Rapids Michigan USA – Used Canon Digital Rebel XT – Had to work this photo over – the origanal was not clear and sharp – used Photo Shop Elements and some filters to come up this take! / Sit Back and Enjoy!!
