Cyanotype Project

Hey, here's the first good one of the cyanotype images I'm creating today--the sun cooperated. I used only a single neg for this image. I kept it in the sun for about 30 minutes, and added a bit of hydrogen peroxide to the rinse. I was concerned that my treated paper had gone bad... but NO. I think this is pretty good. FABulous even! ;-)

I was very excited to use this image because it was taken a few years ago, and never developed as a print before. I LOVE the convenience (and the look and "feel") of the cyanotype process. I think it lends itself very well to this particular image--like this old barn, it's a bit ghostly and of another era. I like to think of what took place there long ago.
