In my Photo 2 class last semester, we had an experimental photography assignment. I ended up working something that I really enjoyed and that I wanted to keep pushing further, and I think that it fits this project well also. I played around with sandwiching negatives in the carrier to create abstract imagery and some other things for this project, but the most interesting thing for me was using actual prints to create photograms, in a sense. I would print one image in the darkroom in the usual way and then place that finished image on top of unexposed paper and expose that to light. The result was the image with the blacks and whites reversed. For this project, I would like to take this further and do it multiple times in a sort of chain to see how long the image stays stable and clear and how far removed I can get it from the original. I’m not sure exactly what imagery I want to use: it is either going to be portraits or urban/cityscapes. I might play around with both. When I have the chance, I’ll scan some of what I started doing last semester and try to look up some artists with similar ideas!
