Camera: Shenhoa 5x7
Print: Kallitype + split toned with Gold and Selenium.
~2008/9
Regarding thumbtack holes: This is an old kallitype print-- one of the first legitimate silver/iron-prints I made. To increasee dmax, I experimented with coating the paper with sensitizer (AgNO3 and Ferric-Oxalate) then exposing, developing, drying... then re-sensitizing (hence the registration marks/holes). The prints ended up looking exactly the same as those I had just initially double coated with sensitizer (pre-exposure). But they had the added bonus of thumb-tack marks + blurriness. This print was initially double-coated, but used the thumbtacks just in case. Like an appendix or gall bladder or some other vestigial thing-- if you will. Should I keep talking?
