Alternative Process Pre-Post

Since my first alternative process attempt failed miserably, I have to try again with either the same one or a new one. For this assignment we're supposed to have something that is not completely flat, it has to be somehow 3D. My plan right now is to print pictures onto a rubik's cube.I'll have to rip all of the colored stickers off of the cube, and then paint the little squares white. After they're painted white, I plan to print a different photo on each face of the cube using either the super-sauce mixture, or print them using contact paper. I want to make the photos on the cube representative of the people that make up my life and shape the way that I act. So obviously a Rubik's cube has six faces.

Aruba Trip Photos

At the end of last month, I went on a vacation to Aruba, and brought along my camera to take pictures, so here are a few!

Anthotype Experiment Part 2

Last night and into today I completed my anthotype project for advanced photo. To make my ink/pigment, I used shredded red cabbage (the only vegetable I seemed to have in my fridge) and a few splashes of water. 

To make the mixture, I put about three handfuls of the shredded cabbage into the blender, and added water so that it went almost up to where the cabbage stopped. It started out very chunky, but quickly became manageable.

After the cabbage and water are blended, I poured the blended mixture over a paper towel placed in a spaghetti strainer over a large bowl to strain out the pulp. I then squeezed the lump in the paper towel to ensure all the possible liquid was drained.
