On the first day of my experimental darkroom class, we were asked to bring in a 4×5 negative, punch 5 holes out of it, trade hole punches with another student, and go into the darkroom and try to make something cool. This is the oddest assignment I’ve been given… here were my results..

More Darkroom Prints
Here are scans of some recent darkroom prints from my experimental class. the landscape images directly below are from a 4×5 medium format class using a view camera.
serene lake and a weeping willow tree @ Frederick Meijer Gardens
white birch tree- interesting texture- also taken at Frederick Meijer Gardens
some leaves that i put in the enlarger, covered with tissue paper. no negative used.
a still life print of coffee, taken with a view camera/ 4.5 film. rings are coffee cup dipped into developer and used as a stamp on the paper after darkroom exposure.
Developer Experiment
this semester I am taking an experimental black and white photography class here at grand valley state. this was a simple experiment where I exposed an image of a leaf and dripped extol developer onto the paper

Winter Wonderland
This winter has been SO mild! We’ve only had three legit snows. Has it been this mild where you’re at, too? This is from snowshoeing in the Chief Noonday Trail:
Bay
Tried to challenge myself by painting some waves at a different angle. I’m going to try to do more like this- want to get better at it. This ones a soft pastel of Costa Rica created from my head. On another note, its snowing in Michigan for the first time this season & the sun is out at the same time… its looks so cool out the window.
Changing
went for a walk today and gathered some leaves that were changing. came home and photographed them on the light table. hope you enjoy these beautiful colors of the season!
Fall Color
The leaves are really colorful here in Michigan! I purchased some 50 speed, color slide film last week and shot some photos in Saugatuck. I’ll post those fall photos as soon as I get the film developed. In the mean time, here are a couple I took on my light table with the point and shoot.
Pastel Portrait
I was looking through some vintage hawaiian/ south pacific travel posters and loved the portraits and colors, so I just had to make my own!
