Darkroom Effects

This is called a "solarization." I took this picture as usual, but exposed the image on paper differently than the normal method and developed it differently to create this darkroom effect. (Arizona)
This another solarization. (Arizona)
This is a "photogram." It is made by placing various translucent or opaque objects on a sheet of photo-paper and exposing it to white light from the enlarger. I developed it in the normal way.
yet another solarization (Arizona)
You may rocognize this as one of the same pictures that I have exhibited in the "Flora" section. Indeed, the negative is the same, but I hand colored this print with oil paints for one of my photo-assignments. (Arizona)
Once I developed this print, I soaked it in sepia tone. (Arizona)

This print is comprised of three different negatives. In order to make this photo, I had to cover one part of the photo paper while I exposed the other parts, then cover the parts I exposed and expose the previously covered sections. I added the third negative by burning and dodging. I recall the total developing time to be about 45 minutes! (Arizona)
