Photogram - objects placed directly on sensitized paper or fabric and exposed to light. The summer sun is great for this. Photograms can be made many ways. I've explored lumen printing - utilizing old fogged photo paper. It changes colour when exposed to light. Wet cyanotype - vinegar, salt or spices can be sprinkled over newly spread cyanotype chemistry. Leaves or other things sandwiched under glass on the still wet mess and the 'cooking' of it all under the summer sun. Cyano-lumen combines the two - cyanotype chemistry on photo paper. Lots of fun. No camera or darkroom needed.
Still Life photography is when I'm most likely to use my large format cameras - a 4x5 Crown Graphic press camera circa 1948 and a 1928 Korona 8x10. Historical printing methods are called into play, as well. It was my desire to make platinum prints that first compelled me to explore large format photography.
My education about and appreciation for old cars was part of the parcel when I fell in love with my late husband. I attended a few car shows every year for 2 decades, and always brought a camera or 2.
I often find the folks who are passionate about vintage cars, have an appreciation of my passion for vintage cameras.
