Now that I've got some major stuff that had to get done finished (basically replacing my car), I can do this longer-than-usual post about this project that I did in college. One of the photography classes that was offered was a large format course. That was one of those things that seemed very daunting, but ended up being a lot of fun (it made me want to get a large format camera). The photos are from the final project that I did for that class (I have other photos from that class that I will post another time). What I ended up doing for that class was setting up simple still life arrangements with fake flowers, photographing them, hand-processing the film, and then taking the negatives and scanning them into the computer. Once scanned, I did very minimal editing in Photoshop (adding a warm tone to each one) and then I printed them out of translucent 8x10 vellum paper, and then laying those prints over a warm-toned basic 8x10 drawing paper (I'll post pictures of that set up another time). I had intentions of making them into a book but I ran out of time and ended up just leaving them as individual prints (I may bind them together at some point; I'm not sure about it though).
I do like experimenting with projects like this; where there is a combing of the old and the new (in this case film and digital photography). Hopefully I'll get to do more projects like this soon.
