[Previous entry: "Another Cowboy"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Torsten Heinze - Mime/Photographer?"] 02/03/2005: "Blue Toning Before Photoshop"
 Ahhh... Those were the days. The toxic fumes from the darkroom... This was shot a long time ago. Back in a day when you had to have a little chemist in you to make a black and white print blue. There may be some photographers out there that remember Photographers Formulary and all the fun chemicals they sold. I don't remember the name of the product that I did these blue tones with (Iron Blue Toner??), but I remember that it was certain death in non-ventilated room. Also, it was a time when nose rings were not common. I think Malisa here was one of maybe three or four people I knew with a nose ring and I hung out at all the hip clubs. Now, even my Mom has one. That last part was a lie, but you get the point. camera/film: Hasselblad ELM, 80mm. Kodak TMAX 100. lighting: Hosemaster fiber optic with the 20" light wand. Basically this was shot like a flat bed scanner works. She sat very still while I passed the wand over her with the camera shutter open in a dark room. Replies: 13 have commented Yeah! First comment! I don't have anything to say, in particular, but I'm somehow stoked to be first. Simple minds, simple pleasures. meghan said @ 02/03/2005 07:30 PM PST She reminds me of Enya. I like her bangs.

Wow. I'm never disappointed when I pop over here. panthergirl said @ 02/06/2005 03:34 PM PST Thanks everyone. One last bit of trivia regarding this picture. I had a small crush on this girl for a while and about five or six years and a couple girlfriends later, I met my wife. Their names are one letter off and rhyme. Malisa, and Marisa. I always found that interesting for some reason. Brooks said @ 02/12/2005 06:46 PM PST |
